Hi, everyone! I've been reading this community for a long time and have gotten so many useful tips and info! Now I have a question that doesn't seem to be addressed in the memories ( Read more... )

Hi everyone, I was victimuspersoni (posted down below ( Read more... )

I'm flying a few thousand miles from home at the beginning of next month with my new little stash of cloth pads/liners (which I use as backup to a cup, whoo-hoo menorrhagia!). Any tips? I'll be staying at my cousin's house with ten other family members, which makes for a total of about fifteen people, I think...in a not very big house. We'll be ( Read more... )

 Hi everyone!  I haven't posted or even looked at this community in several months.  It looks different!  I think I like it.  Some of you may remember that last summer I posted about going to China and wondered how many pads I should bring along.  I ended up bringing my menstrual cup and about as many pads as I needed for backup.  However, when I ( Read more... )

I'm going to spend a year in China, and I'm wondering if anyone in this community lives/has lived in China and could tell me about cultural attitudes toward menstruation.  I'm not too worried, because I like to be discreet about my cup and cloth pad use, but in case anyone has any good advice, I'd love to hear it.  I've heard that tampons are ( Read more... )

I'm going to be on my period during a three-week road trip with family members that would not react well to finding washed pads hanging in the bathroom to dry. How do you store them until they can be washed? I have a big cloth bag that they came with, should I stick ( Read more... )

Hi there, cloth users. I've been heavily considering making the switch from store bought plastic pads to cloth. I asked about making the switch and absorbency on vaginapagina and someone pointed me in this direction. But, I want to ask a different question. I'm going to be headed off to Job Corps at the beginning of the year and I'll be sharing a bathroom with ( Read more... )

Hi all! I don't believe I've posted before, but I love reading the posts in this community. I just started using cloth about six months ago, and I love it. Anyway, I went through the tags on travel, and I have a specific question that wasn't addressed. I'm going on a trip, flying, and I'll be staying in a dorm, so I'm figuring on just storing my ( Read more... )

I'm sorta new to cloth pads (I've done 3 cycles with them), and I had a couple of questions ( Read more... )

So I'm going traveling for about a year long trip soon. I use a divacup, and when at home, I just wear my older, set aside for period use, underwear so I don't worry about leaks or anything. But if I'm going to be traveling, I will only have a few pairs of underwear, which I'd rather not get leaks and whatnot on. So my question is, what pads ( Read more... )
