**Inigo Montoya** - Well, I can’t feel it at all, there are no strings, you can wear it 2x as long as a tampon, there’s no TSS worry, and you can have sex with it in. All that outweighs having to handle my own blood. **Fairblue** - After I got done being miffed at the cats, I tok a moment to be thankful that I had no company. That would’ve been HORRIBLE. ---

Please explain what ‘Instead’ is - I have never seen them here, but I’m interested (especially if you can have sex without getting blood everywhere - me horny when menstruating!) ---

Gotta go with the lidded trash basket, yep. As the youngest of four daughters too spiteful to ever actually sync our cycles up together, our dogs were forever chewing up used product in the middle of the living room floor. (You’d think we coulda simply learned to leave the damned door shut!) I’d always make my school buddies walk in behind me, just in case. There isn’t enough toilet paper in the world to stop them from smelling out the blood. You have got to physically block the pet access somehow. Sorta on topic, MSG does wonders helping to get bloodstains out of carpet. Good luck! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-must-taste-blood-tmfi-yo/243263.md?page=1)
