I am NOT a professional in this subject at all. BUT I thought with some dads on the site, who have younger girls (just in case) should know If a woman isn't around. My daughter recently went through her her first menstuel cycle (actually she just went through her second, two days ago). I'm a single parent, been that way for 6 years now. I didn't really understand the whole feminine maxi-pad/tampon thing. I still don't,really. I went on Wikipedia and learned some stuff. Apparently, the commercial feminine products haven't been around very long. I think the 1950s is where it got commercial. Before that, "ladies" made thier own at home using various ingredients/supplies. In a post-Z environment, It might be cause for concern.If industry shuts down, and goblins grab all things, It might be a good idea to learn how to ,.....I dunno,......mask the smell of blood,and keep loved ones,.....clean?
There's alot of talk about weapons and food procurement, defending homes, and killing brains, ..... I thought this might be important.
On Wikipedia, there's sites where you can go to find out how to make re-usable pads for this.
Just wanted to share.

You know, that's a helluva an important idea. Feminine napkins can also be used for traumatic injuries as pressure bandages, along with a little tape.
Now on the humerous side of this issue, my wife likes to try NEW versions or styles of Feminine hygiene produscts when she sees them. Unfortunately, she seems to rarely like the new items.
So our bathroom cabinets looks like an elephant grave yard for tampons. I bet my wife has enough of the ones she didn't like to survive about 2 years worth of "activity".
We call them "Doo-Dads" or "Kotons." My wife and I have been married for 21 years, and I am so P-Whipped that if I am going to Walmart my wife just says "I need Do-Dads and or Kotons." or she writes it on the Walmart list. I know exactly where they are, and I can swoop through that section of Walmart like a ninja, swift, silent and unseen. But a mild panic can set in if the shelf is empty...
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
LMAO! "Only a real man can buy maxipads or tampons for his wimmenfolk" as told by my ex-wifes dad (Marine-Korean war). He told me, " Just look the f**cker in the eye, and if he smirks, DECK 'EM".
Seriously, commercial pads are fantastic big wound bandages, is what I'm told.I'm no medic. Maybe somebody could elaborate?

Actually, I was outfitted with tampons, for stopping up gunshot wounds. Thankfully, I never used them, but whatever's clever.

I hope to God you didn't have to use them.

Nope, no extra holes in me, but I pity the Iraqis...
I have thought about this you know and its actually a little tricky.

tampons are probably best in masking the smell of blood as they dont allow blood flow, BUT it isnt very good hygienically speaking for the woman (I wont get into details..just not healthy in my opinion..and could cause a lot of other mishups that I wont get into either
pads are definitely good for wounds, my brother coped a cricket bat in school that cracked his head open once..then he walked around to the hospital with his teachers pad on his head...embarrassing but nevertheless a smart move.
There's a lot of different products out there that are concentrating around eliminating odours including pads...but at the end of the day if you dont change regularly or shower..you will smell...same for the ladies...id suggest to stay inside and barricade yourself until its all over lol

My daughter uses pads, right now. I worry about TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) with tampax, but not right now. It's her choice.Either way,...in the long run?

why thank you, But Im a married man and I make a point of trying to understand what possible problems my wife could face and try to help whenever I can.
As far as buying kotex pads or other female products I could care less about picking them up for my wife, mostly because that sense of shame that most people feel I could care less about. Got to get a job done then get it done.
