Reply #190: Not unless it were the absolute LAST RESORT.

[Lisa0825]

I'm kind of shocked at how few people will admit thinking this is gross. Maybe because the few who did were met with such strong reactions. This has nothing to do with being taught that I am "unclean." Menstrual blood IS gross. I don't like getting it on me in the same way I don't like getting poop on me, and both are from normal bodily functions. I am not some screwed up, oppressed creature because I find menstrual blood to be yucky. I love the convenience of modern products, and I would not be willing to give them up without it being a last resort. That doesn't make me a villain, or a mental case. It makes me a typical woman, considering the vast preference for these products. In fact, the main reason I am on the pill is because it makes periods so much less to deal with. Does that make me bad too?
