If you use re-usable/washable sanitary pads, do or would you line dry them after washing assuming four or five neighbours can easily see them?

I don’t use them but if I did I absolutely would hang them out, women menstruate and it’s not something to to be ashamed of or hide.

Yes

KurtCobainLover · 28/05/2026 12:41

Yes, I doubt my neighbours are looking that closely at my washing.

Why use reusable sanitary pads really… very unhygienic

Yes - they're much smaller than all the other laundry anyway so you'd have to be really looking for them to notice.

Maybe.
