Bleach WILL not hurt plants -- indoors or out. It will help keep bugs from them tho. I know that bleach won't hurt them because I often put dishwater (no I have never had a dishwasher) that I have put bleach in on my plants. I allow my washer to drain -- again with bleach, on my plants. Also when I was about 18 (about 50 years ago) I had a sister in law from hell. I tried to ruin her plants by pouring bleach directly on them. They looked better than ever.

As to putting the water on the garden? My daughter thought about that, but then remembered...the bin that the diapers go in has a bit of bleach in it, so that's not good for her garden. She won't NOT put the little bleach in only because of bugs and she doesn't need those in her house.

I am sure they would work for incontanince. just make them thicker. There were times, before I had my historectomy that I would be wearing 2 extra heavy flow pads at a time, and still leak everywhere. at night I would wear 2 pads, and have to use a bath towel too. and I would still be waking hubby up, so he could change the sheets, so I could go take a shower. Thankfully they only made me do this tell I turned forty. and that was on top of making me have surgery every year to remove addhesions off the utarus. But you are all to funny, and I interduced my hubby to wipes, as I am even senstive to tolit paper. no more streaks. besides hubby does laundrey now, as lifting and bending causes pain. But after 28 years its his turn any way. God bless. Penny
