In the hut. Early this time ... and now I have learned that a diaphragm does indeed keep back menstrual flow. What a nice post-sex surprise. :)

So, my question: I finally got my act together and ordered some GladRags, then finally put them through the wash, and now I am ready to use them.

I've heard that menstrual fluid (and the water used to soak cloth pads in) can help plants. Is this true, and do I need to do anything special, or just dump it on there?

For equipment, I'm guessing I will get some kind of bucket with a lid, so I can keep the cat out of things and avoid freaking out anyone else who uses my bathroom. Not sure where I will get this, but there's always next month. hee.

Someone makes special pots for this. Maybe you could find them on sites that sell the Glad Rags?

you can just dump the water in there. they really perk up! i put it on my houseplants and compost - alternating each time. my plants love me for it.

a bucket with a lid is a good idea. i use dr. bruner's natural soap when i soak the pads in cloth water, and the soap makes the water white so that you can't see anything that's actually in the water, so it doesn't freak anyone i live with out. but i saw my cat drinking it once. ech! lids are a good idea.
