Ladies only!!!!!

Well, I no longer have to worry about that. On the other hand, I may become incontinent as I grow older. I would prefer the disposables, but would like to have knowledge and supplies on hand if SHTF to the point where disposables are no longer available. I have enough trouble stocking up food and water without worrying about disposables as well.

Well this site is about preparedness for sure.

If I was still getting my monthly visitor, I'd try this in a heart beat. I always had a heavy flow, and would at times leak. So that would mean I'd have to scrub it out. (I couldn't use tampons.) I can't see a difference between washing these or my clothes.

It's wrong on so many levels, but funny at the same time.

I made my own pads ages ago and they held up very well. My eldest daughter started recently and I ended up ordering her some "cute" pads from mama bear wear on etsy. I was willing to pay for a supply of cute ones because I wanted to celebrate her step into womanhood with her. I still thought they were very reasonable priced, and I loved the design, with the center unfolding for faster dry time. If need be, I can probably duplicate her pattern, but I do like to support hardworking ladies when I can.

As I have to do so much laundry on a daily basis, I just always toss them in the washing machine with the regular loads and they clean up very nicely and easily.

I've used a diva cup now for years, and won't go back. If I had to use some sort of pad, I'd use disposable. Most women are far too uncomfortable with their own bodies, which is a shame. When I switched to the diva cup, my cramps went from being a full 24 hours of really really annoying pain down to 12 hours of much more manageable pain. Very interesting! I like the diva cup because it gets boiled to clean it, which is helpful. I've had mine for probably 5 or 6 years now.

My friend uses a Diva cup and says its probably one of the best choices she's made in quite some time regarding periods.
