Outsource it! |
Where do you think the "on the rag" came from. Long before there disposable sanitary napkins, tampons, women used rags when they had their period. If she is comfortable with this, it's her business. Also, long before there disposable diapers women used cloth ones and washed them; then "d'iaper services (cloth diapers picked up and delivered weekly) came along and these were used. Then disposable diapers came along and it is estimated that it will take an eternity for them to dissinegrate in garbage dumps. If you truly want to be ecofriendly stop using disposable diapers. |
Someone just referred to this as one of the funniest threads, so I thought I would re-read. I'm the OP, and for the record, I started the thread and posted only one response (as OP). And actually, I did read about the burgundy washcloth idea from another parenting site (it was on urbanbaby.com). So it wasn't a complete fabrication (although I wasn't really considering it).
But I must say, it was such a fun thread. Some of the responses had me tearing up laughing. |
I was in an emergency situation and had no supplies - and grabbed a purple washcloth. Thought of you OP. I will often think of you in association with that time of the month for the rest of my reproductive days ![]() |
Good thread, thanks for the read. |
OP, I've always wondered if you gave it a try? |
NOOOOO!!!!! Why did we have to bring this one back? |
This is the absolutely the funniest thread on DCUM - ever. |
where's the thread about the menstruation museum? |
I will never forget the picture of the cat toy. WTH???
I could not stop laughing. |
I VISITED the menstruation museum; it was a field trip in college. It was in a 45 yr old man's basement. He had several cats. His family had stopped speaking to him after he opened the museum. |
I wish DCUM was always like this. |
Haven't you ever heard about guys who like to get their red wings? |
Dixie cup? |
I use toilet tissue. I got tired of pads, and I realized that bunching up toilet tissue was just as effective, it was certainly cheaper, and it allowed me to adjust to where I needed more protection. Pads always bunch up, they smell, and you can't flush them. You can flush tissue. Plus, tissue is nice and dry (sometimes pads have a slippery outer layer, I don't know what for, but it means that your lady business can't breath).
It might not work if you wear tight pants, which I don't. It's works like a charm if you wear skirts and dresses. |
