So today has been one of those "Blue" days, you know what I mean? Just kind of irritable for no good reason (ok, it probably is because of the time of the month, but I hate to blame it on that).
Usually when I feel this way I do one of two things. I write in my journal. Or, I tell Calvin I need a late night Target trip after the boys go to bed. Well I must be getting my writing out, because I just did not feel like writing in my journal. And I've sworn off Target. And I really don't miss it much. Salvation Army's not open late enough to go do therapy shopping. So what did I do? I read the Crunchy Chicken blog and links to alternative menstrual products for about an hour. Was it really an hour?! It gave me some good laughs and I think by next cycle I'll try something new. The extent of my green-ness in this department so far is the Seventh Generation panty liners, I too was disappointed that they were individually wrapped. I noticed quite a selection at Olivers, I bet there's another brand that's not.
Here's the website I've been checking out that has me very intrigued to try something new...

I love that they sell chocolates, too! They know us gals...
I like the festive hot pink. Ooooh. I think this line would make me feel less country hippy... A little pizzaz, not so "kitchen towel".
Thanks for passing it on.
Oh man, I know those days. I call them my "blah" days. I had a few last week although I attribute them to stress over the preschool :)
I too love the patterns! Cracks me up...
I get those days to.
I checked out that site.
I don't really want to wear a diaper between my legs. When I wore pads, that is what it felt like. I did see the other blog about the divacup. I'm not sure if that is for me.
Right now I use Always pantiliners. They don't have individual wrapping. And I use Tampax - Says they are bio-degrade-able(sp?) and made of cotton. Doesn't say anything about bleach.
My friend Kelly told me at one point that she was using sea-sponges as a tampon...Please ladies, learn from her past and DON'T use them. There is nothing 'sanitary' about them! The sponge breaks apart...(I think that's all I need to say)

Although they have a bunch of other really cool stuff.
I love my DivaCup!! Should have been using this years ago. The best price I found is at South Coast Shopping for only $17.99 and arrived in only 2 days! Model 1 and Model 2
