Saturday was a sad day for an alternative menstrual product user.  I found myself unexpectedly bleeding... shows you how "in tune" I've been with my body as of late... and had to resort to using the two pathetic little OB tampons I had hanging out in my bag from years past... shows you how often I clean out my bag. When those quickly ran out, I resorted to the plastic pads my grandmother had sitting in her bathroom drawer.  I don't enjoy pads much... apologies to the 'rags... and so bemoaned the fact that I didn't keep my Keeper with me when traveling.  duh.  I eventually made my way to the local grocery store to get something that I wouldn't have to adhere to my underwear.  Alas, more OB tampons it was.  I look forward to the day when alternative menstrual products are not so alternative and I can find a Keeper in a Chicago suburbian Jewel.
