bleeding beauty

There is just far too much waste in this world and I cannot bear to contribute when I know that there are alternatives.  That's where this little guy came along.

Here is the tutorial for this menstrual pad.  It's a quick and easy project, and as it happens, is 100% useful! The only thing that I did differently was use cotton batting instead of terry cloth, and I only used two layers of the batting instead of the four layers.  Oh, and I also put a layer of waterproof nylon on the bottom of the two layers of batting for extra protection.

Weird enough as it is to say this, I look forward to the full moon next month so I can use my new pads!
