Tampons!

Ok so my family is on a mission....save more waste less....reuse,recycle,upcycle whatever it takes to get the job done. This has been a crazy journey but fun!! Ok so about my tampons. I totally get the idea of the mama cloth. I just dont like pads...I am a tampon user always have been. I only use pads as a last resort and after having babies. I knew there had to be other mamas who were tampon die hard fans. I googled it and found the diva cup thingy...it just seems to me that all of woman kind could use that thing and all get it on the first try.I would be the one in millions to screw it up! So then I found something that said use baby socks..."buy a pack of %100 cotton white baby socks roll one up and stick it in...use 2 if you need it. That was just to much crunch even for me. That is saying alot cuz I am sooo getting into being a crunchy kinda girl. I have made my own laundry soap and replaced anything sposie I could think of. Still use toilet paper though....my hunny refuses to be that crunchy...guess he is just a little lumpy. So the baby socks were a bit extreme for me so I made a tampon. Just wanted to see if I could do it...I could here it is.....whatcha think?

I am looking for testers to try these out. I heard another chick made some tampons that she knit....I wouldnt even begin to know how to do that. Keep in mind this was just a proto type. This is one of the moments I warned about when reading my blog...the ooooohs and ahhhhhhs.....or lord shes crazy moments...How crappy is it that today I get the bright Idea to create tampons on the last day of my first post partum period...took 3 months to get it this time and its never regular so who knows how long till I can test this myself!.......Ok there goes my creativeness for one day....if I can just convince him to "try" wipes instead of toilet paper!
