Thanks for the info she-ra, my girlfriend is vegan and ill pass on the info. Just one thing, do they test normal sanitary stuff on animals?

Post collapse sanitation should be something everyone has given some thought to. No matter how rich you are or how much access you have to storage, you will run out one day.

Without getting too icky - how was this done say in the days before mass capital intensive farming?

There is lots of lore, stories, methods. Rolled up fabric, which is rinsed. (Make yer own pads, sun dry.) In the old days, pregnancy lol, long term (up to 2 years) breastfeeding inhibits menses for a lot of women, ...

I heard a really nice one, aboriginal. The women in the group tended to menstruate at the same time, lunar earth kind of togetherness. So, at menses time, they all take off, sit on moss stones for a week, catch up with each other, sewing, the grandparents look after the kids

Then at ovulation time, the women get all (especially!!) amorous again, and the men have missed them too. There were known herbs for inducing abortions, just as others for encouraging fetal growth or labour etc.

I have two mooncups! One I use every month and the second for "emergencies" - i.e. economic or social collapse and I am in the middle of nowhere.

Wow

Informative, thanks for posting this.

Yes I am a man, but I had know idea about this shocking issue.

[Clarityofawareness]

What if you place the infected cloths, Q-tips and what ever else that's infected, into your freezer over night? Will that kill these pesky little critters?

You know, as a custodian, I've had to clean out feminine product boxes. Gross part of the job and I just can't get over the fact that women put this stuff inside of themselves. Of course, some are just plain ignorant.

It's sad that the things we buy have to be full of nasty chemicals, etc.

Hiya, yes they do test pretty much every chemical/ingredient in everything on animals - feminine hygiene products to condoms, make up to nail varnish/polish, household cleaning products, deoderants to body wipes, toothpastes to mouth wash etc. Proctor and Gamble own a lot of the companies that supply a lot of these products for example including sanitary wear such as the major brand 'Always' - hence I find avoiding them helps avoid of unethical products in general.

Hope that helps

Anchor - I'm not too au fait with the process but it's similar to nappies/diapers (another one people worried about gmo cotton will need to remember) before disposables - re-useable/washable fabrics were used, there were probably recommended methods and perhaps herbal additions too.
