Reply #167: You aren't going to get an infection from using cloth pads

any more than you are from wearing underpants. Think about it. :eyes:

This attitude about how "disgusting" women's bodies are is really annoying.

And women can't avoid dealing with menstrual blood in one way or another. You have to do SOMETHING. It's just what specifically you do. I like the menstrual cup, for one reason because there's no work involved. But I used cloth diapers on my daughter and that was just as easy as disposable (I used disposables for a while first). I'd think this would be the same.

Disposable sanitary pads were developed because people are lazy and don't care about waste. It had nothing to do wtih infection.
