Goods 4 Girls-- sanitary supplies....
After having spent a goodly amount of time thinking about sanitary supplies for menstruation in pre-modern cultures, I feel obliged to talk about the movement to donate new, unused, reusable sanitary pads for young women in developing countries. Crunchy Chicken came up with this idea:

Great idea. However, I've never tried to make/use something of this sort, so the instructions she points to are driving me batty. I want something that tells me what kind of fabric and where I can likely get it, as well as patterns. I think this is a great idea, but I really am not in a position to research the entire reusable hygiene supplies movement before doing this.
If someone who is familar with these has clearer instructions or comments on a particular pattern that make them easier to figure out, maybe we can get a group together to make a bunch of these and ship 'em out. (P.S. what keeps them from twisting around, by the way?)
