after reading this post I wonder how "reliable" are these when you need to leave the comfort of your own home. Pre-menapausals can bleed like stuck pigs! 10 super absorbancy tampons a day and about 3 to 4 pads is my usual for the first 2-3 days.

She's thinking she want's to do this, but unsure of it all. She says she could toss them in the diaper pail with the diapers, which is usually always full. Yes, she hangs it all out to dry too, but neighbors don't care, they love the babies.
Yes Patrice...I said the EW thing too, but....oh well....sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. This will also save her a bit of money too, I think, I hope!

I commend your daughter, she is not giving in to big corporations and buying their expensive products just because it is a neccesity she is finding alernate ways.

Aw, Lea, so sorry to hear about your job! I lost mine a month or so ago, place just closed down with no notice. You can bet I do ANYTHING to save money, lol!
Just make the pad abit thicker, and they sell plastic like stuff in the fabric store you can use, as a liner.

What an educational thread. My oh my.
I remember the belt and pads. Can't tell you how many times I had to go home and change clothes from elementary school. Got smart quick. Extra set of clothes and lots of extra pads. Got to where the other girls would come to me for their necessities.
SO, next question, if your periods are extra heavy, what did/do they do to keep leakage down on these?
Thanks God for hsterectomy and early menopause.
Would I use them? Sure, why not? Believe me there are more gross things and some day we may have all these conveniences taken away or not be able to afford them .
Only thing I would not do is go camping while on my period. Bears are soooo attracted to the smell and through the years have killed folks in campgrounds and the wilderness because of it. Ok, I'm done.

Well? She's on the hunt for soft flannel. Not sure what she will find, but I'm headed out there in a couple weeks to help her with her new machine and get her questions answered on her sewing.
We shall see what she comes up with.
Thanks everyone for the walk down Memory Lane. ;)
