Have just read it in Spiritual Midwifery.
Never heard it before and a cursory web search comes up negative.
Anyone heard that? Would it be an American thing?

Just cotton AFAIK !!

Shock never heard that Pruni and, while we're at it, do spiders make gravy?

Do tigers play banjos?

Sorry - don't know either [can you tell emoticon]

Eh??
Mind you,it's not just cotton either unless they're lentil weaver types.
Rayon too.

frivolity appropriate on such an intrinsically dull thread. Grin

I got carried away by the shock.

Those natracare ones make me itch, btw.

I sense it will not be long before I get a mooncup.

and ladybirds make marmalade

It's the weird plastic and absorbent stuff in sanitary towels that gives me the willies.
Exactly like those funny little mats they put under supermarket meat to soak up the blood.
Yuck.

Pruni · 15/04/2006 22:59

no, lemon curd.

DS is convinced that ladybirds have eyebrows and asks me to confirm this fact about 29 times a day.

Spiders will probably make gravy if you boil them long enough with red wine and onions.

Pruni · 15/04/2006 23:00

I think - and I'm not squeamish or chippy about it - that all sanitary protection is a bit gross.
