Reusable Cloth Tampons

I never thought about making reusable cloth tampons! i have definitely gotten used to feeling more connected with nature with the sponge. i will probably never buy/use one of these but it seems like a good thing to have around when you are surprised by your period in a place where it is unsanitary to put in the sponge or maybe you dont have your cup (or its too hard to get it in). (now that i said that i think i just made a great argument for getting one) i couldnt imagine my housekeepers' reactions to seeing it in the laundry! they would probably throw it out. the good thing is that you can get a little bag that you put it in when you wash it.

i really enjoy spending my down time looking through new alt products. its always fascinating to see what people come up with. i have become quite settled with the sponge and the cup so it seems my adventurousness has died down. i know reader comments are quite low on here but we always welcome people's insights about their product usage.

also please send your love and positive thoughts to our readers in Japan after having gone through such a devastating natural disaster!

thanks!

You're a Young Lady Now

My mom and my aunt were cleaning out my grandmother's office and found two mensturation pamphlets from the 1960s by Kotex! my grandmother would go over them with each of her daughters when they got their periods. one of the booklets goes with the Walt Disney Mensturation Story (click the title to see the youtube video). I took photos of the pages for all of you to enjoy :)

The Tampons are missing..... (click me)

The tampons are missing! oh goodness no! the tampons are missing!

My response to these women who use ob tampons for environmental reasons- use alt products that end up in landfills once every 10 years or twice a year. Mother Nature will love you more for it (but she does love you just a little bit more than those who use heavy applicator tampons).
