reusable
If there is such thing as reusable pads and they are suppposed to be so comfortable, why don't that many people use them, or at least I dont hear of very many. I want to know because I was thinking of buying them, but I want to know why most people don't use them.

Well basically its because you have to change them more and sometimes it will get on your underwear or thong or whatever it is you wear , but its up to you on which one you wanna use! good luck! (:

I can't be certain, but I think it mostly has to do with people thinking of menstrual blood as somehow 'dirty'
Basically with the reusable pads once you change the pad, the old one is wrung-out, rinsed, and then washed in the washing machine on high-heat. So your hands do briefly come into contact with the blood.
Reusable pads are a LOT cheaper in the long-run since you only have to buy them once instead of once a month, and they are a lot better for the environment. Some people think it's gross to rinse menstrual blood out of reusable pads, well I think it's a lot less gross than the prospect of used disposable pads and tampons washing-up on a beach after having been dumped in the ocean!
To be honest, I don't know why more people don't use them! Menstrual blood is not dirty, and that's how women did things before the advent of disposables.
I vote for buying them ;)
