first, i had to stop wearing most women's underwear (natural rubber latex--NRL--in some elastics and some fabrics)...


then i decided to start wearing more earthy things next to tender parts... glad rags, natracare organic disposable stuff... no more plastic stuff.

now it seems i'm allergic to organic cotton. i'd blamed my monthly irritation/rash on my habit of donning an old pair of undies once or twice during my moonweek. i know the elastic on those irritates my skin, so i've blamed it on that for a couples years...

well, i wore boy's boxer briefs during the two most recent bleeding cycles. if they contain rubber anywhere, it's the waistband (one brand DOES irritate my waist)... the rest is mostly cotton. these are my everyday undies when i bother wearing any at all.

and i'm broken out.

damn damn damn damn damn

i know that organic cotton is less processed and has more of the natural oils in it than regular cotton.

so now i need to find all cotton, non-organic tampons. i can use glad rags for pad time... and i can revert to Always in a pinch (NRL-free)... if i have to.

blah
