- I disagree. Being a woman I use something very similar to a plastic diaper
- for (how do they say...) feminine hygiene for a few days every month.
- Now, don't get me wrong I love to wear cotton blouses and even cotton
- underware, but I would not like to exchange the absorbent plastic lined pad
- for a piece of cotton cloth. The new technology of today makes things a
- lot more comfortable than what used to be available.
