Sanitary Products
#11
My wife uses a Mooncup (menstrual cup) and thinks they are brilliant. She's had the same one for about five years and after each period it just gets washed, brought to the boil in a pan to sterilise it and then put away for next month. Such a simple but effective low-tec and ecologically sound device.

She also used to run a company selling washable nappies and says that the Mother-ease ones are the best. We used the same set of washable nappies for both of our kids, then passed them on to another parent to use with their kids when we no longer needed them. We saved £££'s using these, not to mention the number of disposable nappies which were not sent to landfill. Again another old fashioned but highly effective product.
Any fool can be uncomfortable.

Duct tape does the job and also gives you a Brasilian at the same time Smile

I think terry nappys made from toweling are still available I think ( hope) and washable / reusuable sanitary pads are also available still from some places.

Ouch!

Tesco sells cheap terries - 6 for £7.99. You'd want maybe 4 packs if you can wash them every day and wring them out well. Don't touch their plastic pants though!
