Why is it that when you try to find information on sanitary items, you can't find the ingredients to any of it?


Perhaps it's because if you actually knew what was in these products, you wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole much less let them come in contact with your sensitive systems.

If something is going to be against my baby's hinder for 2-3 years, don't you think I'd like to know exactly what that is?

So after doing some investigating...  :detective:

I've decided to...

 :whistleblower:

on all of this hullabaloo.

Go ahead and try to find out what is in your baby's diapers. Good luck. Usually, you have to get a doctor to write in the company, and list the things your baby is allergic to and they'll either confirm or deny it.

Doesn't this alarm anyone else?

I got an idea.  :idea:

I thought I would help you investigate some of this stuff yourself.

The only company I could find that would show what their ingredients are were the Seventh Generation company, which makes "chlorine free" diapers.

Well, I've decided to go cloth. There's a local company here that sells plain cloth diapers, and I'm buying them from there. The ones I've found online are insanely expensive (for this time of year for us anyway) and perhaps this winter I'll be able to buy some of them. But for a dozen, they want upwards of $200.

Now, about the feminine hygiene products.

You ever tried to find out what's in them? Good luck. They're secretive too.

So...

There's an alternative that's been out for twenty-two years. And I couldn't believe the whole thing. I'd never heard of this.

The Keeper is made of natural rubber latex, and the Moon Cup is made out of silicone. I prefer natural stuff, and I think it's nice that we have a choice not to throw stuff in the garbage, or down the toilet if there's another way. Plus, you're not putting yourself at risk for TSS (by the way, has anyone ever found out what causes this? Um... no, because we don't know what's in the products that causes this! It's a secret.)

And you only have to buy one, and you never have to have your husband make an embarrassing trip to the store ever again!

Anyway, discuss, but please keep it as discreet as possible.

Talk about this as you would in front of your grandmother.

And don't make her
