I actually use rewashable pads; they're kind of awesome.

No belts though, thank goodness.

I was grateful for tampons until I finally gathered the courage to get a menstrual cup. The Menstrual Cup group is the only other CLJ group I belong to. I would love to find a vintage menstrual cup ad. The oldest MC ad I can recall is for Instead cups in 1997.
