GladRags Laundry
While looking around the internet, we found a mention of GladRags in a someone's flickr photo stream. She takes pictures of a number of images in her life. This one happened to be of her laundry, including a number of GladRags pads. As she states in a comment, for a second she wasn't sure if she should post it, because people might be grossed out, but decided that people should not be grossed out by periods. What a novel concept! Certainly many people are grossed out by menstruation and menstrual blood. The origins of this disgust are complicated and sometimes deeply rooted. In a delightful follow up to our recent naysaying post, flickr's BlindTurtle challenges these assumptions and feelings. See her photo, thread, and discussion here. But we think pictures of GladRags in the laundry basket is a great image - quite a contrast to the image of a pile previously used disposable menstrual pads. That's a sight even the non-squeamish of us don't want to visualize for long. We would love to see your GladRags laundry too, so please share!
