Top Ten Ways to be an Extreme Green: #2: An Amendum for Women Only

I really should have included this idea in the post along with cloth diapers and labeled it something like "stop using disposable products." But I decided that this one really deserves its own post. So men, well, you might want to stop reading now.

Ladies, this is one we all have to deal with. I tried this a few years ago and didn't have much luck with it--I think I got the wrong size, and it kept leaking. But when my period came back recently (fifteen months after my baby was born), well, I guess it was the cloth diapers that got me thinking. I've come to feel that disposable diapers are just gross--smelly, strange, funny looking. And suddenly I felt the same way about disposable pads.

Much to my delight, I discovered there's a store in Atlanta where you can actually buy reusable menstrual products, here. So I went there and got the bigger size Diva cup, and a couple of cloth pads for good measure. And wow. This is so much fun. I have never said this in my life, but I'm actually looking forward to my next period. The cup isn't gross at all--it's fun and easy and it only takes a few seconds to deal with. And--completely unlike a tampon--it only has to be changed a couple of times a day. It's like not even having your period. Why did I take so long to switch to this?

Guys, I know you're grossed out right now. But I told you not to read this one.
