| I'm a 40H bra size. I wish my bras were $40! I generally have to pay about $80 per bra. |

Take the pill continuously and never need any. Pay $0 for my 3-month supply...and will until the ACA is repealed. |

| I coupon for that stuff and also cruise the house forbthings I can return so I can make my own coupon. Example, we have a two pack of sippy cups in our pantry. We never use them and they are still sealed. Of course we don't have the receipt for these, but I will take them back to target for store credit and use that for an expensive toiletry. |

They're not gross. But they are cheap, so stop bitching. You know these save the education of girls in third world countries, right? Seriously, count your blessings and don't complain. |

Sorry no. They are gross. |

Yes, your $10 Diva cup that may send $1-2 to education in third world countries. Why not just send the whole $10 and actually make a difference? |

That's not what I mean. I meant they are used in third world countries to allow girls to continue their education month-long. But you knew that. |

Ok? But why should we all use it here? Definitely see how it makes sense in that situation but we all have choices here. |

| You forgot to mention Pads and Tampons they also cost awkwardly high |

Because the alternatives we have are much more expensive and environmentally wasteful? |

Exactly. I personally use tampons because 3 different cups haven't worked for me, but I'm not the one complaining about the cost. And I never said you ALL should use it. I said it's a more cost-effective option. |

But you need to read what you wrote. That is not what you said. You put two completely unrelated reasons together. "They are cheap" "You know they save the education of girls in third world countries right?" So you said we should use them because they are cheap and then randomly...They save the education of girls in third world countries... |

There is always the option of using mama pads and family cloth. http://americanpreppersnetwork.com/2013/10/family-cloths.html https://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Menstrual-Reusable-Sanitary-BubuBibi/dp/B00ATEK3YU |
