And it works!<br />At night i keep them in place with a black elastic sports short. At day time they just stay in place because of the fleece.Jokenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665352966222414054.post-42724708335855429382011-03-18T15:45:26.158-04:002011-03-18T15:45:26.158-04:00I'm glad several people were impressed.

The arms/legs from old baby sleepers work well, I think, because the shape sits comfortably (at least for me) and they can be easily stuffed, emptied, washed and dried. Best of all, though, they require absolutely no skill to make, as long as you can wield a pair of scissors. :P The only they DO require is a strong sense of humour. :DCanadian Doomerhttps://doomerincanada.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665352966222414054.post-39916813769178318632011-03-18T14:02:13.099-04:002011-03-18T14:02:13.099-04:00Some of us in my household use family cloth.

The term "on the rag" came from literally being on a "rag" or sleeper, or left over towels whatever! The time is coming to use what we have, not what is affordable. Great post, great re-usable item.

I would have thought that I've written MUCH more graphic posts (like detailed family cloth posts!) but this one - I lost TWENTY feed subscribers because of this.<br /><br />Seriously, people, if you hate a post, at least tell me why. "Ladies' Stuff", though, is going to be about menstruation in some manner.<br /><br />Anyway, I finally found a store that sells the Diva Cup and they're $42 plus tax.

Maybe I'll see if my SIL still has any onesies that my younger nephew has recently outgrown...<br /><br />You might submit your idea to the website recyclethis.co.uk It's got nice ideas for re-using many items and seems to cheerfully accept suggestions.Kate@LivingTheFrugalLifehttps://livingthefrugallife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665352966222414054.post-26718509720035846082011-03-14T08:16:02.014-04:002011-03-14T08:16:02.014-04:00Yea, I was feeling rather pleased with myself.

It might be that I can only do the cloth in the daytime, since there's nothing to hold them in place at night.Canadian Doomerhttps://doomerincanada.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665352966222414054.post-27146120412854417272011-03-13T22:25:22.757-04:002011-03-13T22:25:22.757-04:00Great idea! but I will admit that I am praying to ...Great idea! but I will admit that I am praying to God that I hid meopause before the SHTF...Lake Lilinoreply@blogger.com
