Ariel of Cephaloblog is giving away five copies of Cathy Leamy’s “totally cute, funny and informative comic on eco-friendly solutions for that time of the month“. To win, you just need to add a comment to her blog post (first link above) explaining why you’re making the switch (or have already switched) to reusable menstrual products. She’ll select and post the winners on January 24.
You’ll also be helping with science: Ariel intends to post the top ten reasons given by age range, so we can see why women of all ages support reusable options during their periods.
I don’t want to horn in on re:Cycling readers’ chance to win, so I just zipped over to Metrokitty’s site and shelled out $2 for a copy.

I just used cloth pads for the first time a few days ago. I usually use a diva cup, but earlier in the day must have inserted it incorrectly and my body wanted to expel it with horrible cramps. I didn’t want to put it back in right away.
Of course I don’t have any disposable pads any more. So, I went through the rag bag my mom has and picked out some squares that used to be parts of t-shirts. folded one up stuffed it in my underwear and it worked!
I even wore one over night, I was surprised I didn’t leak at all.
