Op here. Yes! Forgot about these and tampons! So ridiculous!

Get a cup. That'll save tons of money & environmentally friendly.

+1!

They don't fit me well so I don't use them, but there are other options. Don't bitch.

Yup. I bought silicone a diva cup for $20-30 almost 10 years ago and it works perfectly still.

Walmart and generic saves a ton of $$ on these items.

Agree. I use a Diva Cup & fleece pantyliners. Sucker no more.

Can't use the cup if you have an IUD

Why? Because it's really a sand paper?

Good bra cost over a $100. I am fine with that, I made my peace with that.
But why a piece of plastic with bristles , a toothbrush, cost $9 ? I don't get it.
And I can't use any of off the shelf deodorants, they are sticky or leave disgusting powder behind.
When I see a woman in sleeveless dress raising an arm with the powder filled lines and folds its just aggghhh...barf.
I have to shop euro or designer deo for that reason , and they are expensive.

My brother works for Kimberly-Clark and brings me cases and of toilet paper, tampons, paper towel, Kleenex, and diapers every time he visits

Now I need a relative who works for Proctor and Gamble or somewhere for things like toothpaste and laundry detergent.

I think these are gross.

I like Kotex tampons the best, and they are the cheapest on the market, like $3 on sale or $3.50 for 18ct superplus.

I think the liners are too much, so I get the care one (giant brand) on sale $2 for 60ct. I get creative and use two at a time in place of tampons to save $, or if worried about leaks.

Not me. I get a Starbucks once every other week or so. I pack my own snacks and drinks to take to work.

It's Econ 101. If more people use leaves to wipe, then the price of TP would decrease.

A friend of mine did advertising for a razor company; apparently, they are designed to wear out quickly so you have to buy more.

I've heard safety razors are a great alternative but haven't worked up the courage to try them yet!
