is that doable for pads tho? trying to empathize with the situation of feeling some leakage and having to rush to the bathroom to handwash and then put the probably still cold and not fully dry back down my pants, and really not loving how that would feel for vagina-havers in general lol. even aside from the sensory nightmare that sounds like, it just seems really disruptive to anybody trying to study/work/whatever in a way that i at least have the impression pads were meant to avoid, no? really appreciate the answer to my question tho, even if it raised a bunch more 😂

Sorry for my ignorance (gay cis dude, I don’t do a lot of interacting with menstruation), but would you expect these to stain? Like is this the type of thing you’d buy/make once and then use forever, or is it more reusable in the short term then replace? My understanding was that blood is a pain to get out of clothes, but I assume the people making these are a lot more educated than I am on the topic lol.

These seem really exciting if people who can use them are happy with them and they’re reusable tbh, cuz I’ve personally always thought tax dollars should pay for or at least subsidize the cost of pads/tampons/etc for those who need them but am uncomfortable with the idea of the state sponsoring wasteful (like literally in that they create a lot of waste) industries in general. Again this is very much not a subject I have stakes in and my uneducated opinion is of the absolute least concern here lmao, but I’d really appreciate if anyone wants to tell me if this is as great as it sounds
