There's nothing wrong with reusing sanitary products, provided they are the reusable type. Reusing disposable ones would be unsanitary though.
I've never heard of such a thing.There's nothing wrong with reusing sanitary products, provided they are the reusable type. Reusing disposable ones would be unsanitary though.
Reusable feminine products? Yeah, I use cloth pads (TMI probably, sorry :anon. There are also silicone cups that you wear like a tampon. I'm not that brave yet. But anyway, I use cloth pads because the disposables cause irritation (more TMI :tongue2, not to save money. Not sure it's cheaper because they're expensive initially and I need to buy enzyme cleaner.I've never heard of such a thing.
So you wash the pads after use? Isn't that going back to the bad old days when women used rags & then washed them? (Like many women in the world still have to do.)Reusable feminine products?

I use a reusable K-cup and regular coffee/loose leaf tea.We compost everything we possibly can. I do use k-cups in my Keurig; you will pry my Keurig out of my cold, dead hands. I take each and every k-cup apart, put the grounds in my compost bowl in the fridge, and single-stream recycle the k-cup itself. (Single-streaming recycling is amazing; you can recycle so much more stuff! Between single-stream recycling and composting, we can keep our trash pick-up down to a dull roar, even with the used cat litter.)
Yeah I suppose but not convenient if you work and have to use a public bathroom.Menstrual cups are a great option as well and very low maintenance. My favorite is the Diva Cup.
Unlike tampons, they can be worn for 12 continuous hours. If emptying is needed, this is the recommended method: http://rubycup.com/how-to-use-a-menstrual-cup/using-on-the-move/Yeah I suppose but not convenient if you work and have to use a public bathroom. :jaw:

I should check out the RD as well. I'm always going to Petco for Soulistic. Thanks for the tip.I use Petco's repeat delivery as well. The kids like the Soulistic Good Karma and Nature's Recipe shredded chicken and chicken pate. I get free shipping and a lower price by using RD and I don't have to go to the store.

Not trying to offend you, but sounds gross to me. Imagine someone finding them under your sink. I don't think I would ever have used them, but I respect your choice. So how do these things stay in place?Yeah I resisted for a long time because I thought it would be gross. But nope. I put them directly in a soaking bin (kept under the sink) filled with water and a capful of enzyme cleaner. After I have enough to wash, I dump the entire thing in the washer and run a short load to spin all the yuck out. Then run them in a regular load. Easy and non-disgusting.
