Just wanted to shout out all the spouses and partners of those suffering with sciatica. It’s not easy watching the one you love in pain nor is the extra work that comes with your partner being down mentally, physically, or emotionally.You guys save lives just as much as the doctors do.
Hands down the best sustainable swap I ever made are my period products. I use a cup as my primary form of blood management and underwear as a back up/ for the last few days.
If you’re considering either of these I HIGHLY recommend them. The panties are exponentially more comfortable than pads and the cup is pretty much leakproof.I used to not sleep well during my period because I was so worried I would get blood on my sheets but the cup alone gives me enough confidence to sleep through the night.
I went to buy a box of tampons recently to have in the bathroom for guests and for my car/ purse and I couldn’t believe how expensive they’ve gotten (last box I bought was at Costco like 4-5years ago).
The swaps are pricey up front but I would say start with the cup, mine was like $40 at Target. There is a learning curve but once you get the hang of it you’ll never go back I STG.
This little bag I’ve had for over 10 years. Was an event swag bag that has been used countless times.I added an old overstretched hair tie to it so I can fold it into a little bundle. It Love that it’s bright green so I can always find it in my backpack!
