Minimalism Day 4 - Menstruation is Awesome

Day 4. Menstruation is Awesome!!! April 16 2011


I was reading something the other day to the effect of "women should really celebrate menstruating, instead of being ashamed of it." I wholeheartedly agree. I can make a person.


So, I purchased the Diva cup a few weeks ago

When I got my first period again on my birthday. (The New Moon! Ask Tom Robbins about cycling with the moon.)
Now I never have to buy tampons again.

When my mom and I were sewing infant cloth diapers out of the flannelet trimmings saved from pajamas/boxers she has made for me and Collin over the years, we noticed that the little bitty ones looked just like pantyliners. so now that Zoraya has mostly outgrown them, that is exactly what they will function as..

So today I Freecycle the package of disposable pads my Mom gave me to use postpartum.
Ill have to admit - I "Always" find those things horrid but yeah, they did came in handy after giving birth.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almost full 48 Package of Always Ultra Thin pads.
were given to me for use after giving birth.
I only took about 3 from this pack.
Also 10 Kotex Pantyliners (currently in a Tampax box)
that were in my stash under the bathroom counter.

I have switched to cloth & Diva Cup so I no longer need them.

They are nicely packaged in a Hudson's Bay Co. Striped Cloth Bag
(that I also happen to be getting rid of)
because it Got Jammed in the front wheel of my bicycle
when I was riding to Tim's House when I was 14
It has a scuff mark and a small hole in it now.

Porch Pickup - East End
Please state desired day & approximate Time in response
