We all get review inquiries quite often as a blogger. Its one thing that can be fun, especially if its a product you have been wanting to try. Every now and then Ill get a product of something that falls in the “Things that make you go Hmm” category.
When I first got this product opp, I did a double take.
No.
Cant be.
Really?
Women do this?
*immature giggles*
But then the girls on the MomDot forum completely assured me that not only do women do this, and use these, but that even a few use them themselves..and have written pretty convincing articles about them.
Where the hell have I been?
So………here it is.
The reusable Menstrual Pad. (Simultaneously the men that are visiting momdot are now packing up and leaving right now.)
Trust me, it wierded me out just as much as you.
Now…here are my thoughts. Arn’t you the slightest bit even CURIOUS about it? I have to admit I am after hearing some of the reasons why you would use this. Its not like tampons like to stay in place after that whole childbirth scenario (i know, tmi, tmi).
What do you think…….would you be totally FREAKED OUT if I did a review on this? It would require me talking about, dum dum dum dummmmmmm, AF. Would anyone want to read a review or have a giveaway on this on our site if I set it up?

Trisha,
I have seen a review for this and participated in a giveaway for one too (I didn’t win) and I too thought these products were odd but are pretty economical and ecological.
Other than that…
?????????
Hehe…

i have been wanting to try those. regular pads irritate me and i don’t like tampons but i’m just to cheap to spend the money. I’d love to hear a review.

I think you should do a review and even a giveaway if possible. I haven’t had AF in 20+ years but if I did I would so try these.
Why would this pad have anymore of the eewww factor than a disposable pad? You still have to “handle” each one.
I think your review would be awesome because you will treat the product with the respect you have shown to all of your other products and reviews.
I think you should do it. I’ve been wondering about these myself.
Do it, do it, do it. You know, there are probably more than a couple “crunchy” moms who love your blog and they would want to know your opinion. And besides, those pads are some of the cutest ones I’ve seen.
I tried to make some pads myself and it was a dismal failure. A couple of them were okay, but I don’t have a serging machine to do the edges and can’t afford to buy one so it limited what I could do. I am planning on giving it another go, but it’s no rush because I’m pregnant right now and won’t be needing pads again for over a year.
You should try a Diva Cup too. It may seem weird at first, but it is ten times better than a tampon for numerous reasons.
Jenny’s last blog post..Is this how the American Dream dies?
Do it – they’ve been around for awhile – sounds good in theory. You know green and healthy.

Never know you might be a cloth pad kinda girl. I used to be freaked out by OB cuz you had to use your finger as the aplicator, but now I don’t use anything else
Just don’t do the 50’s motif one – I don’t want a mom doing her ironing on my crotch.
Sure, review it! It might even convince you to switch to cloth, which is SO much better for the environment! My cramps are almost completely gone & I don’t have any irritation from cloth! I’ve been using cloth for about a year now, have NO stains what-so-ever and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I have never leaked & I get my cloth from a super sweet Georgia stay-at-home-mom. (Mine are minkee with fleece on the back, so soft & yummy. They are also pretty patterns/colors os they make me SMILE when I use them!)
