Burgundy washcloths in place of sanitary napkins

[Anonymous]

Nobody has answered one of OP's questions, which I share: why do the 5 washcloths need to be burgundy?

before you spend 30 on the divacup thingy you should try instead they are disposable

but that defeats one of the good points of diva cup...better for the environment.

Because the blood (if it stains) won't show up as much? Some people said they used red.....but when blood dries, it takes on a brownish color. So burgundy matches more.

Mine usually starts out brown, goes to red, then back to brown. I'm thinking 2 burgundy and 3 red.

Well you all are convincing me to try the Diva Cup. I have a couple of questions though-

Some reviews on Amazon say the age doesn't matter when deciding on size - whether you've given birth should be the only deciding factor, based on their experiences. True? I'm 36, have never given birth.

Is there any "trickle" at the end of the period, after you take out the Diva Cup for the last time? It's impossible for the cup to capture every last drop, I'd think.

And you wonder why your hunbands won't have sex with you for months at a time? This thread is unreal. I hope those who use nothing or rags or whatever do not have college degrees because they should really be requesting refunds.

Whose husband isn't interested in having sex with her? Mine can't keep his hands off of me -- it has nothing to do with my choice of a reusable feminine hygiene product -- which he knows absolutely nothing about, being male and comepletely uninterested.

I use panty liners for that last, last day of my period.

At 36, I would get the size 2, but you can always call LunaPads and ask. They're incredibly friendly.

Sooooooooo. I'm one of the many pp's who mocked the cat toy tampon. And yet here I sit with a washrag stuffed in my drawers. I ran out of pads this morning, and while digging in the back of the linen closet to make sure that I really really was out, I found a red washrag..........

I must say, it's not as uncomfortable as I thought it'd be.

This is ridiculous. When you run out of pads, you just take about 7-8 spins from the role of toilet tissue and fashion a temporary pad until you get to the drug store. No one resorts to a washcloth.

If I remember correctly, the OP of this thread admitting to making this up for entertainment.

I'm not saying the desperate poster is making it up. We do what we have to do.

Ugh no thanks. I haven't done that since HS and I hated the feeling of having tissue bunched up in my hoo ha. It's not as if I've gone out and bought a *special* red couch, it's just that, in practice its not as silly as it seemed. I'm not going to run down to Target and buy myself a stack of red washrags just for this time of the month. I will admit, I am surfing ebay and checking out different cloth pads vs Diva Cups.

I didn't remember that, and I'm not bored enough to read back through 8 pages to find out. I wouldn't be surprised at all though.

The one I thought was made up was the pp who posted about her friend having a red couch she only sat on during her period. Who the hell would DO something like that, let alone admit to it?

I'm so glad you revived this thread. I had totally forgotten about the cat toy tampon and found it just as funny the second time around!

This doesn't give me an idea of what it looks like. Is there a better image somewhere?
