Thanks for making me lol
how great to hear that i’m not alone in thinking about the pantie/monthly visitor problem. I mostly have dark underwear, and the few white ones that i have, are never used when it’s that time at hte month.

I love that you posted about periods! I do the black underwear trick as well and it makes my life so much easier. Easier to shop easier to wash…
I used to refer to all underwear as “panties” which my husband found demeaning, (an entirely separate topic!), so I call his “manties.”

When referring to my period with my husband I say I have a a visit from cousin vinnie….but any and all mention of such topics is fair game because this is as natural as breathing. I’m raising two boys and I swore I would tell them all about life just as real as I can to make it like science so they are not scared or biased. When we go to the Dr.’s office I let them watch when I get my blood drawn or theirs so they can see how cool science works. So far…I’m in the clear. When certain things pop up….I tell them it is cool body science.

Smiles,
Kelly

Just a few nights ago, I read a tip on the One Green Generation blog about using hydrogen peroxide to remove menstrual stains from undies — just pour it straight on the areas containing blood, let it soak for several hours, then wash as usual. She said it works on white fabrics and color fabrics.

I know the stains aren’t an issue for black undies, but since black shows through lighter-colored clothing and there are times when lighter-colored undies might be needed, it’s nice to have an option for removing stains.

what an interesting blog post – learn something new everyday and not just about quilting!

I’ll have to invest in a weeks worth of black undies… as when my step mom visits us or when we visit them – she ends up washing our laundry and I’m always so embarrassed for her to see any of my stains.

Not anymore – at least not after I go buy some blackies

Thanks for sharing this tip!
Love from Texas! ~bonnie

That is soooo cheating, I love it! Rather like red hankies called “lipstick hankies”. If you can’t beat them, camoflauge them!
