They just let it drip all over the floor. I have a stock of tampons but it will only last me 6-9 months. I never knew these existed! Great that you can buy them online! Although I'm wondering how nicely they wash out and if water is a shortage then.....I'd rather a Diva cup I suppose but having it all just in case is worth doing!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08808093709451719206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349198022472650957.post-68659877373410651552014-02-28T14:29:51.383-08:002014-02-28T14:29:51.383-08:00I just got a Diva cup.

My daughter (who says they're coming to our house because she wants to be on my "apocalypse team") is getting one too. Meanwhile, our extra feminine supplies will be good for bartering, I'll bet.

In the PNW we're not continually subject to natural disasters like tornadoes and hurricanes, but whether or not a volcano with erupt is more likely. Or any political fallout.

Many of these women end up dropping out of school because they don't go to school when they are on their periods. Those that drop out of school tend to follow a path of early pregnancy and often contracting HIV. The group we donated them to goes to Ethiopia with these hygiene kits to teach women/girls about their periods and how to deal with them in a more hygienic way. Never thought about it in terms of emergency prepardness but now you got me thinking...stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06994429489363896358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349198022472650957.post-71187612375501629762013-01-22T06:11:13.512-08:002013-01-22T06:11:13.512-08:00I'm impressed!

But having them as a backup and not having to worry when you run out of the other stuff is pretty awesome. On a related note, when London was born, I made some washable breast pads out of flannel, but they didn't work all that great because I didn't have any of that special fabric. That stuff would probably work much better.
