    Can't imagine reusable towels :eek: It's hard enough to imagine using disposable towels after 29 years of alternatives.

    That seems a bit more achievable (not that I know your spending/saving habits). :rotfl:

    Preferable is to use a disabled/accessible toilet as they usually have a sink for rinsing (after you've emptied it) and immediate hand washing without waving them around in public.

    At a push a regular loo is fine if you can handle rinsing from the flush water and not get grossed out by that. They have to be particularly clean before I'll consider that though. :eek:

    No risk of toxic shock syndrome, can leave in for longer on lighter days, no horrible dryness.

    There's a bit of a knack to getting it to sit right in the beginning, and if it's not right, leaks are guaranteed and messy, but once you get he hang of it, you'll barely notice every month.

    Haha. Whoops - just spotted that you said PM. Oh well, it's out there now :o

    *****


    And now back to your regularly scheduled money saving :rotfl:

    (I would never discuss this with friends, let alone strangers :o The anonymity here seems to cover all bases)
