i know it seems like reusable menstrual pads = big investment since theyre costlier than disposable pads but trust me, its worth it. ive been using cloth pads for over a year now and i no longer get any rashes nor feel any discomfort down there. moreover, i only end up using one pad for the whole day and one pad for the whole night. its the best thing you can do for yourself and the planet!

Seriously get these it’s so worth it

i was so envious of people who could use menstrual cups because they are such a good investment and it cuts down on waste but like, i can’t use them because i get such bad vaginal pain and a lot of tampons make my cramps worse so even the thought of trying a cup was impossible. and the reusable pads just seemed so expensive. and what if i didn’t like them??? well, i found some that were on sale (a set of 6, i don’t remember the price a the time) and i figured it wasn’t that much and if i didn’t like them i didn’t like them. i fucking love them! i actually just bought a second set of 6 because i was still using a couple of disposable pads. yes, it is a lot of money UP FRONT for them, but they will very quickly pay for themselves within the first year of use. and there is always the option to do what i do and just watch for sales and slowly build your supply up. and they last for like 5 years, in which time you could spend way more on disposable products. things i love about them 1)they hold so much more than i thought they would! even with my last two periods being heavier than normal i still only had to use two or three disposable pads, and i probably didn’t even need that last one 2) they don’t fold over on me and then stick to my skin/hair and therefore not being affective and also kinda painful when i try to fix it 3) i can reposition them if they are too far back!!! a problem i have always had is i tend to put pads on too far back for whatever reason, but with these and i can just pull them into place if they aren’t quite where i want it. 4) rinsing them out by hand feels powerful for some reason. nothing like seeing the water run red with blood to make me feel like i’m cleaning up from some epic battle i’m winning. 5) my cramps aren’t as bad? don’t know if this is because of the pads themselves, or if it’s because of my weird periods lately, but i swear my killer cramps have not been as bad and i feel like i can actually function. i really think that they are worth every penny (for me) and i think that if you are thinking about it then you should at least get a few and try them out, you can always stock up on more later.

Yeah, actually… my period pain got milder. There’s been some research about the absorption of the chemicals in plastic pads making periods worse

Seriously though, I can’t use a cup but reusable pads are a game changer!!

I have tried cups, a no go for me, but I love the reusable pads! They are so comfortable.

Seriously. Cloth pads are the single most comfortable way to handle menses. Usually the top layer is way softer than disposables and you literally just chuck it in the wash when you need to clean them. Usually my cycle is heavy, painful to the point of vomiting, and tampons and cups just make all that nonsense way worse. I started using the reusable pads years ago and honestly it changed everything. My cycles are lighter, less painful, and I don’t fly through my supplies like I used to! If you menstruate definitely give them a try.

Apart from all of the above, the (lack of) smell! I started to use cloth pads because of many reasons, but one of the biggest perks for me is that I don’t get nauseated by the sickly smell of the perfume they put in the disposables, every time I go to the toilet. Blood doesn’t have much of a scent, it’s the chemicals in the disposable pads that make them smell bad and the perfume, in my opinion, just makes it so much worse. All of that is gone if you use cloth.

I feel like I should try this now cuz cups are….. Not working.

Another vote for these!! My periods used to be so damn MESSY and since I started using reusable pads, they’ve been mostly mess-free.

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

@ my dog: if you want the rewards of playing fetch you must first submit to the mortifying ordeal of DROPPING THE BALL

Listen I love sub boys but why we gotta treat them like delicate precious flowers who are smol and cute (which they very well may be)? Where’s my sub boys who can pick me up and throw me around but don’t because I said they couldn’t. Where are the boys who strain at their heavy chains to try and touch me because they want me so much, but will be as gentle as a kitten if I tell them to be.

yall ever read a fact that just fucks up your whole world? let me tell you about mine. fact: you can very easily slip a lightbulb in your mouth, but it is impossible to remove it without breaking either the lightbulb or your jaw. this has ruined my life. i can not fucking see an old style lightbuble without thinking about how i could shove that baby right in my maw easy as pie. the inclination to do so is fucking insatiable. i feel like rapunzel’s mom and the rampion garden. a quest i know will result in terrible fate but my mind wants to do it so badly just to play out the awful scenario that would undoubtedly unfold before me. this is the true symbol of temptation. a lightbulb.

Apparently the current proposed name of the hypothetical ninth planet is Persephone which is such a good name I’m mad I didn’t think of it.

I’m into this

I can’t believe none of the reasons were “It’s what Pluto would want.”
