Reply #216: There was a firm in Missouri that sold nursing supplies

And incontinence supplies and they had the old fashioned huge Kotex maxi pads, scent free and quite nice. No adhesive on them - I think that is one of the rthings that makes a woman allergic to the product. Also no plastic barrier on the bottom. Just cotton.

Then one day it was no longer possible to use those either. (Four years aggo??)

I started to buy adult diapers and cut them apart and then hand-shaped into pads - as adult diapers seemed to be free of the stinky substances that caused my allergies to the regular pads.

I would poke open the adult diaper bags at the store to determine which were not scented - etc.
Once I found a brand and type that was unscented I stuck with those.

Don't let a stroe manager find you doing that - they consider it as bad as theft. But I was tired of buying a product, driving it home, finding that it reeked, and then having to drive it back, locate the manager etc. And never compensated for my time in doing this.
