since i'm enjoying the cloth diapering with lumi and trying different kinds and feeling generally smug about not producing so much trash, i thought i would try reusable sanitary napkins. i bought a few from a UK diaper site that a friend raved about. i haven't used them for full out menstruation, but i have used them instead of disposable panty liners.
i'm not a fan. maybe i use the wrong kind of underwear or something, but they bunch up and move around and (maybe this is the most important thing) they feel like the drops of pee/discharge/end of cycle/whatever post-birth stuff i'm using a panty liner to absorb are staying wettish and closer to my body than they would if i just let my underwear take the brunt of it. i don't like it! fortunately at this point i don't need to wear one every day since the post-birth shrapnel and continency issues seem to have subsided, but i was sad to find that i don't like the hippie route in this circumstance.
