They've come along way and I appreciate the choices though daunting as it may be trying to find the right one.

How times have changed... I was at my grandmothers for a visit and my cycle came really early. I wasn't prepared. It was really late at night and was about to head to the store when my grandmother pleaded w/ me to please not to go out out so late, large city and not safe to be alone at night. They would never go out. In my mind, I have to. From the bathroom, she pulls out a hand towel and says we can make strips. I was mortified and chuckled but this is what they did. In the end we agreed to go together. She was then curious about the pads when we got home and was amazed saying no wonder you wanted to go out; I would too. Some advances in technology can only be appreciated by looking back.
