Wemoon reusable menstrual products
"What," my John inquired dubiously, "is this?" Holding up a well-used (but clean!) reusable menstrual pad from the laundry. It's one of those conversations you hope not to have too soon in the engagement, but there comes a time when even the most dyed-in-the-organic-cotton bachelor has to deal with wimmen's issues (no pun intended). Since I work from home, I find reusables a surprisingly comfortable and pleasant way to go green, while adding minimal extra overhead to the laundry. You European gals can experiment with the same idea, with washable cotton pads from Wemoon, starting at €4.75 for liners to €6.50 for double-absorbent core maxis.
Sue Johanssen of the Sunday Night Sex Show expressed some dubiousness about resuable cloth pads, but honestly, if you've got a good set, the knowledge that you're not contributing more landfill waste is worth the minor (and I do mean minor) inconvenience. Wemoon pads in particular are available in a variety of flashy, fun colours, from plaid to animal print, and they have a couple of great, inexpensive bags for stashing them discreetly if you're on the move.
