How long have you used reusable menstrual products?: Haven't started yet but I am looking forward to it!
Reason for making the switch to reusables: Well, GladRags makes a pretty clever case for it - I'm concerned about the well-being of the earth, especially in this near-apocalyptic age (2012). I'm also concerned about the well-being of my body and would like to remain toxin free as much as possible.

Funny anecdotes, deep thoughts, or anything else you'd like to share: I used to  try to hide the fact that I was on my period at all costs. (similar to June friend) Now, I think that's a misuse of time that could be spent not only feeling great instead of feeling ashamed, but also talking openly about what alternatives are out there to support us.
