In the face of misconception

I wrote this to post on someones blog, who didn't understand reusable menstrual pads, and was slamming them with insults. I almost posted this on their blog, but didn't feel comfortable, since I am a bit paranoid, and she did agree with a certain someone who was running for v.p. that if the new leaders south of the boarder didn't drill for oil they were risking high energy costs. Get with the times folks, stop driving so much! Here's my rant:
Washing reusable menstrual pads wastes a lot less water than the process of making disposables, or flushing tampons that end up on coast lines. Contrary to assumptions it doesn't take much energy to wash a pad. Soak it in some cold water to loosen the endometrium, and then you can either hand wash it, and hang to dry, or throw it in the laundry with your other coloured wash. Reusable pads have many positive attributes. They are not bleached like disposables (bleach in my cunt, no thanks - bleach contributes to the production of dioxin, a known carcinogen), by the way, cunt translates to anatomical jewel, in case there are any common misconceptions judging that. They last for years, saving women tons of money. Anyone can make them. You can make them out of whatever you choose. Recycled flannel bed sheets, hemp, bamboo. There are tons of resources out there, feel free to do some research. (I've even come accross a figure that assesses water and energy use from washing).
