Have you used a sanitary napkin or maxipad other ways besides its intended purpose?

I haven't - but I know a girl that was dying her hair and she had to go to the corner store for something, so she put a plastic bag around her head (to keep the hair dye from dripping everywhere) and she couldn't find anything to make the bag stay on her head, so she used a maxi pad to seal the bag! \nThe funniest thing was that she put it on her forehead and it was absolutely hilarious.\n\nThis is a true story - really!

I use the product "Instead" which is used instead of tampons or pads.  I like it very much because it is comfortable, easily inserted, and I can keep it in longer during heavier times of the cycle.  Last, but not least, I can have sex with it in and remain clean.\n\nHere is additional data about it here:\n\nhttp://www.softcup.com/\n\nThe last time I went on the site, it had an option of getting free samples of it.\n\nIt IS awkward at first to get used to, even tampons take a little to get used to at first (my first use of a tampon is a horror story that no 13 year old would want to live through ever).  But keep practicing and use light pads at first just to be sure placement is good, and you will be fine.\n___________________________________________\n\nTake a look at this link.  It is inserted back and fits up under your cervix (which is like a classic donut with a hole in the middle) like a bowl.\n\nhttp://www.softcup.com/images/image_how.gif \n\nThe cup is a ring with a clear plastic (or soft clear flexible membrane)that is a flexible cup. \nSee pic here: http://www.softcup.com/images/image_home.gif

I would give it a go.  I'm don't think I'm ashamed to pee in front of strangers, though pooping or changing a maxi pad would be a different matter.  And when you consider that urinals usually have dividers between them, you get enough privacy, anyway.

Why stop with sharing a toothbrush?  \n\nDid you ever stop to think that toilet paper has two sides?  One side for you and one side for Cousin Leo...

Yes, and that's why I want a bidet.  God, why aren't they more popular in North America.  So practical, especially for women on their periods. So easy to get squeaky clean.

You know, you bring up an interesting point.\n\nWhen you are at home, you can just turn on the sink next to you and clean off your hand.\n\nHowever, this scenario is especially inconvenient when you are in a stall somewhere else. What do you do then? You can pseudo-clean up by getting most of it off with another sheet of toilet paper, but your hand still has crap and germs on it. Then you have to pull up your pants with your clean hand and try to button and zipper up. This is not easy, and most people probably give up and use both hands to get their pants up. So then you've gotten crap on your pants and shirt and have to go back to the office.\n\nIn this world of computers and fancy cars that give you directions, why are we still rolling toilet paper in a ball to wipe our @$$es, and we can't even see what we're doing?\nI don't get that. Don't the Japanese have robot toilets that scrub and clean your @$$? Why can't we get that here in the US?

A bidet has a pair of water sprays in there to help cleanse the pubic and anal areas.\n\nNot as problemantic as toilet paper and some of the bidet toilets have a lot of incredible functions.

yea... i'd squidge my way to the kitchen for a paper towel or a napkin (or perhaps use one of the non-glossy magazines or a newspaper from the bathroom)...\n\nor you could just make a habit of checking the roll before you sit down and never have a problem... (but that makes too much sense for most people)

Is that toilet paper?

A lot of cultures don't use tolit paper, but instead use water to wash off instead.  This is common in Europe and Asia, where they have bedets and other specially designed tolits.  A friend from Jordan explained it to me this way, "Why would you wipe your excrement into your skin, when you can just wash it away?"  It seems a lot more hygenic, but still out of the norm for me growing up here in the States!

Yes,I use them.\n\nThe words I would use to describe them are:\nTerrific, Awesome - best protection I've used.\n\nNot a tampon user, but they fit snuggly, don't droop in your panties, don't get stuck to your 'you know what', are easy to reposition... ummm, what else... no wings, no ripping and tearing, less leaks. Just lots of the security a girl wants at that time o-the-month. They work with these really cool pads that have little tails on each end that connect to the belt - like a stocking to a garter... hard to explain - but GREAT to use.\n\nI'd recommend em. Oh, and BTW: my mom freaked when she found out I and some of my GF's were using them. She couldn't believe it since her generation (read: older), hated them I guess. But they were using some super oldy version. These belts come in colors, lace, and the pads are just as thin as the stick kind. I used the stick until about 3 years ago (I'm 23) and I would NEVER go back.

i like to use both at the same time. if i'm going somewhere and i might be gone for a while i just remove the tampon and use the pad.

with a ... dry cloth ?

Yeah, that happens to me.  I usually just wipe as much as I can get, then wear a panti liner.  Not a big deal. It doesn't mean it's leaking or anything like that.

Question is how many wash their hands after using toilet???\n\nDryer is cost less per use while paper towel does better job.

Hmm...I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with wiping backwards.\nA gross question, but still interesting.
