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?

Yes

i wouldn’t negatively judge anyone who did that. Sunshine bleachers, after all. Credit for using reusable ones

Well, you have to clean poo up from a baby’s bum anyway, when they’re older you just drop it in the toilet!

I would not have the stomach to do either.

Good job you don’t have kids then!

One of my many reasons not to have them.

I hang my reusable sanitary pads on the washing line. Periods are not something to be ashamed of why hide them.

@ILoveDarkCloudsAndStorms

im not ashamed of them. I just wouldn’t wanna look at them in my garden 🤷‍♀️ doesn’t fit the vibe

They're not much different to the reusable liners I used in reusable nappies both of which got hung up for all to see

I've repurposed DS's nappy boosters (cut down a little) as pant liners. The microfibre ones are so soft

It wouldn't bother me. The sun is good for them anyway.

When my dd lived and home, she hung hers out on one of those round circular peg things. It has one hook and then you can just unhook it to bring them all indoors once dry.

We call this thing a pants chandelier 😄😄
