Re: MM Would Judge Me For....
Cuteness overload. In this vain, MM would judge me for buying this:
http://www.amazon.com/Lippmann-Collection-Nail-Lacquer-Romance/dp/B0040ZU9AW
I haven't bought it yet, but Im on the verge of pressing the button.
Somehow I can justify $15 dog collars with bowties (a regular dog collar isn't that much less), but I could never buy an $18 bottle of nail polish. That's crazy.
but its soooooo puuurty.
(although, your point is exactly why I haven't pressed the button yet, but I have tried to get if for cheaper on ebay.)
You just keep coming back for more, don't you?
In an attempt to torture you, I google image searched family cloth.
This came up:
Please please please tell me that's not what I think it is....
& FYI, the vests a fuucking adorable.
That is what you think it is. They call that mama cloth. Never ever trying it. I will whore myself out to pay for tampons, if I am that desperate.
*ignoring anything in this post with the words family or cloth in it.
I'm sure MM would judge me for LOTS of things. The absolute biggest though is the one I kick myself for every day, buying a house in a location we knew was a temporary for us for purely emotional reasons.
If you watch sales for paper products and coupon, I bet it would completely end more or less in a wash (pun not intended but welcomed) with the water bill you'd have from using family cloth and cloth in the kitchen. If not, you wouldn't be saving THAT much.
I have an iPhone that I expense 50% for work, so I guess they'd judge the other 50%.
We don't always stick to the budget. If we want something and agree on it, we get it.
I didn't save for retirement while I paid off the debt.
We don't DIY much. Half the time it ends up costing the same between money and time.
HAHA! I had to jump in, because I actually have a few of those. And use them, occasionally (mostly rely on the Diva Cup). I just don't typically flaunt the info because, understandably, people have the
reaction. They actually are a lot comfier than disposables.
Judge away. I'm totally ok with it.
I do too, but I didn't want to admit it since everyone was
ing over it. lol
I haven't had a problem with staining, but mine are also a pretty dark color, which could have a lot to do with it. As for absorbency, I would guess that no, they are not as absorbent, simply because of the gels disposables use to make them insanely absorbent, but I can't say for sure because I only have a few pantyliners and I don't use them as my main system. (ETA: wow. holy run-on sentence)
LB - Yea, I'm not a huge fan of pads in general either. I HATED using them when I used disposables. I still don't use my cloth ones if I can avoid it, but they're (surprisingly) not nearly as gross-feeling as disposables are. Definitely the lesser of two evils, but not my first pick.
ITA. I can get on board with the Diva Cup but only because it doesn't have that "oh God, I'm bleeding all over myself" feeling.
Wait until you have a child and are told use pads until cleared at your PP visit.
My friend Becky calls this 'stewing in your own juices.'
I use that phrase for taking a bath. haha
I was thinking the same thing. Postpartum bleeding is obnoxious.
This almost exactly for me. Im usually really light, so I just use reusable panty liners when Im tired of the Diva Cup. I haven't had any problems with staining either.
