I feel like I'm now the org's official menstrual warrior. Ladies - fear not! DOOK is on your side when it comes to your monthly visitor!

I'm most afraid of leaking! But yes, public restrooms would be very awkward. I mean, I'd probably stare if someone washed one out in the sink. I need to work on that.

Thanks for your ongoing support!

He definitely needs to be slapped and for pulling this trifflin foul shit.

Hell to da Naw!!!!

I can't see many women using these,apart from being bulky in your knickers ..you have to wash and re-use them

Nikki23 said:

no, they're not bulky. and it's really no different than washing and reusing your underwear.

SammiJ said:

Second that

That's disgusting

could somebody PLEASE tell me WHY you think it's disgusting, even though you obviously have to wash the darned things in between usage?

Natsume said:

they have a menstration "cup" too ...

Nikki23 said:

Don't take this wrong, but I'm sure lots of "hippie-chicks" like these. They've been around for quite awhile.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

maybe... for some...


in our western modern society menstration is though of as disgusting

ewwww blood bleeding smells sickness icky PERIODS suck

cover it up hide it and so on



for some it's a very honored time
almost sacred

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

im just concerned about how well it absorbs
i would think it wouldnt considering you're supposed to wash them out....or i could be wrong

luv4u said:

OH GROW UP! DAMN IT! We women have to live with this "grossness" every damn month for 40+ years of our lives. What the hell is so sick about talking about it???

Terilicious said:

geeez someone has PMS just kidding

Terilicious said:

I think the sick part is that they decorated these pads with leopard spots. I mean, come on, how are we supposed to take that seriously?

I think it's really up to you ladies if you want to use this stuff, but to me it seems just as weird as washing and reusing a condom, i.e. nothing wrong with it per se, but it just doesn't feel like the kind of product you want to ever see again after it's been used.

Terilicious said:

exactly--it's a pain in the ass, sure, but it really ain't that bad.

retina said:

Yeah its the leopard spots that bother me they look awful,i thought this thread was a joke at first.I had never heard of re-usable pads before today.

Terilicious said:

They better come up with a better product in the future.

heyduckie said:

Well, its true. I know..TMI

Periods suck!!!!!

And the leopard print is justbeing stylish just like underwear. How many women out there have "period underwear"...you know what I mean. We reuse those undies every month...

Terilicious said:

i can see why a lot of women don't get along.

You wash them out in public washrooms?

Can you use them as poop pads? (just asking)

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I'm intrigued by the menstrual cup. I never knew these type of things existed!

Like other people, I'm concerned about how well it absorbs and washing them before I go spending my bucks.

BTW, periods are gross.

SammiJ said:

What is that supposed to mean? Seriously, I'm not being a smart-ass, but what are you talking about?

Why do Men have it sooooo easy. Come on

I much prefer the menstrual bucket.

bkw said:

That's gross!!! Although sometimes a bucket might come in handy...not for ME, but for some other women out there...


I gotta go to the bathroom...

can we please let this thread die.....
