I’m murdering the next person that tries to convince me that there is nothing wrong with being a woman and that it’s beautiful and I should embrace femininity

Wouldn't it be nice to just pee out all the menstruation and be done

Ready for TMI about blood and hair?

I don't shave down there (don't come for me, it's an already lost battle).

Can we talk about how awful it is when pubic hair gets sticked on the disposable pad because blood got dry?

I was used to that. But it changes a lot with cloth pads.

The blood doesn't dry so fast and gets absorbed at the bottom of the pad (instead of the surfice, like the disposables), so hair doesn't get sticked.

But they are so time consuming...

No, they are not.

Do you do the laundry? Then you just have to soak them and toss them in the washing machine.

You can buy pads that don't stain or you can decide that stains don't bother you.

You decide how much time dedicate to your pads.

But remember: a lot of people like taking care of their pads.

A thing that surprised me the first time I wore a cloth pads was the feeling of wearing it. And that feeling is the reason I always claim them to be more comfortable than disposable pads.

A cloth pad is made of cloth (yeah, surprise!) and that means that they feel very similar to an underwear. So you kinda don't feel them at all.

Obviously you can feel the thickness of some (thickness is often a choice, to have more absorbency), but with the most of cloth pads you just feel cloth on your skin, just as you feel with underwear on.

So they ARE more comfortable, because you don't feel them, you don't feel any sticky or sweaty thing on you. You just feel cloth, often soft cloth, it's like sitting on a cloud

One day, a man asked me: if cloth pads are so better in so many ways, why aren't they more diffused?

I hadn't the right answer straight away. I had to think about it and after few times (obviously when I wasn't still speaking with him) I made this hypothesis:

The first reaction to cloth pads, commonly, is thinking they're gross and unclean and unsafe. Since we are used to dispose every thing around period, we are used to think it's dirty and you don't bother wash it. The next logical step is thinking that it's unsafe to wash it and that period blood it's dangerous to have contact with, and that's the reason why we dispose everything.

That seems logical, in fact we only dispose things that are dangerous.

That is thought by so many people, but it's not true. Period blood it's not unsafe, it's not dirty. It's only blood

It's Christmas and of course I have Christmas pads. I have two and I'm wearing them; no one will know it (except for you, now), but I know it and I like it. And that's enough.

Happy holidays, you all
