Hello there
Yeah, by stuffing moss and bundles of cotton in their knickers. If it’s a choice of that or stocking up on pads when I’m raiding Tesco, I know which one I’d rather
Cloth works well enough that in extreme survival situation you might forego pads in favour of food or drink.
I can’t speak for all women but I think I’d try to have enough of both food and pads/tampons if I could. Pads are much more efficient at absorbing than a bundle of cloth and are cleaner, so wouldn’t cause thrush and other infections
Pads and tampons are also good first aid supplies - I think tampons were first invented to plug bullet holes
I think tampons are older invention than bullets. I know tampons have been used for battlefield wounds, but I don’t think that’s their original intended use.
Tampons are not good for wound packing, thats a myth.
yeah, using tampons for bullet wounds is like putting a spout in the hole
Yeah, probably an old wives tale, I guess
Pads are relatively light, to the point that if you’re not in a time crunch, they’d probably be worth grabbing
