i'm all about reusable items but whoa ... and i quote "That's a great idea!  Personally I don't use tampons (unless I absolutely have to), but I like that you've come up with a reusable product, as this is one aspect of why I don't use them regularly.  I may have to make some for emergencies!"

CleoKitty

Eh, not my thing, but they don't gross me out either.

That's what grosses me out about this stuff, things that are reusable that hold body fluids. EW.

I LOVE this quote:

"I make no guarantee that they won't kill you or make your genitalia unhappy with you."

I figure that they're not really much different than a cloth diaper in that regard.

It's not the reusable that gets me.  It's three things. 

One, that would not be very absorbant. 

B, that would unroll like a mofo when you pulled it out and be a big huge gloppy mess.

Pineapple, then you'd have to make a wet bag to put it in.

Homemade pads, fine, you can wrap 'em up/roll them up in themselves, then stick in a bag.  Can't do that w/that thing.

Exactly.  The reusable part doesn't bother me so much as just the schematics/logistics of the thing. 

Plus, the thought of someone mistakenly using a really cheap acrylic yarn and then putting it in their hoo-hah?  Ouch.

It just looks so uncomfortable. And as Cleo said, there's the unrolling/mess thing.

Ick.

I see what you're saying, but... yet...baby poop/pee doesn't gross me out like this does. LOL I'm weird I guess.
