[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 311658, member: 1963"] When I lived in Germany back in the early/late eighties and early 90s, there was a thriving 'green' movement. People got away from using disposable diapers and the like. Along with that, quite a few younger women didn't just go back to the old 'belt and napkin' method, they went all the way back to using "toweletten'(rags) for that purpose as well. You just pin them into your panties and off you go. I suppose they had the right idea. Ready-made "supplies" are awfully expensive and cause problems in both drainage systems and in landfills. With the sanitary towels, they could wash them and soak them in bleach, and then reuse them. The problem is that leakage is a constant risk, odor and infections can be a problem, and quite frankly, you feel like you are wearing a DIAPER! [/QUOTE]
