to use a piece of folded loo roll in place of a panty liner when I don't have one to hand?

[Weirdypants]

Just wondered if I'm alone in doing this, or if it's weird?

Well it seems perfectly reasonable, if a little dainty.

In my case it'd be like trying to mop up the Red Sea with 'Juan Sheet'

Been there done that

Done it too.

What else are you ment to do just leave it to flow

Done it myself, but changed as soon as possible for correct item.

Needs must. It's not very effective but it's better than nothing.

Done it...and being in the menopause and losing half my blood supply from minute one of the period,I have been known to wrap the toilet roll around a folded clean odd sock in order to walk to the shop to buy some pads.

Kirsty's homemade programmes are of use sometimes

Just be careful it doesn't 'slip' and end up falling out your trouser leg in front of all your work colleagues.
This happen to......a friend

Is this an appropriate place to say 'thank you for sharing'?

I suppose needs must and all that...

Done it too...in the short-term it's better than wet legs!

Been there, done that, worried about it falling out.

We've all been there, needs must and all that. I rarely go anywhere without something in my bag though.

Of course everyone's done this. What else are you supposed to do?

Umm apparently my 'friend' denied it was hers and everyone walked over the blood-soaked toilet paper for ages until someone got some gloves and took it to the toilet.

crazy A SOCK? A SOCK??? this is genius. up to now we only everhad puppets. Loving your work.
(Kirsty Allsop? Honestly?)

Maybe I should send in the idea to Kirsty? Would actually be something useful she could make with her fat fingers fair hands

crazy don't tell Osborne, he'll make it compulsory, possibly for a whole street to share a pair of tights < big society>

If I have to do this, I wind the toilet paper round my gusset a few times, which prevents it falling out

I could supply my whole street with my tights

yy spreading I did this before any of this newfangled wings business
Should have marketed the concept

I fashioned sanitary towels out of cotton wool and toilet roll and sellotape when I started my period while staying at my Grandma's and was too embarrassed to say so.

Yes I did that once.

It feel out in my living room in front of my dad.

I was 15.

I was mortified.

I've done that as well. You need to wear black knickers though.

Wind, ladies, wind!

In desperation you can use bog roll in place of a tampon.
