Dealing with the "Red lady"

Tissues, clothes, cotton wool or pads?

As a lady, our monthly flow is inevitable except we have certain health issues or decide to go on the nine month journey 😉.

Some days ago, I was discussing with my brother's wife about periods and why she doesn't like pads and she mentioned her fear, "disposing of the used pads".

Over the years I've heard stories of people who look for used pads in waste sites and make use of the blood for rituals (in Nigeria, this is very possible) and that's why some girls are scared of using pads. Some even go as far as Washing the blood off from the used pads before disposing them, some prefer to use tissues that can be flushed while others use piece of clothes so they can wash it, dispose the water properly and reuse the clothes. Some say it is cost effective, considering the price of pads recently.

Menstrual cups?
Some local Nigerians (me particularly 😅) have refused to make use of them cause of the risks.
