It’s amazing how being in a personal financial crisis makes someone (at least) a bit more creative in cutting expenses.

I’m talking about myself, actually. If you don’t know, I’ve been formally unemployed for about half a year and for the first few months I depended only from a little amount I possessed in my savings accounts. And it’s amazing how God is so kind for letting me still survive.

For the past two or three months, I’ve been no longer able to afford to buy monthly feminine napkins (sad, I know, but I’m fine). As I’ve told you initially, this state made me more creative (and grateful, for sure). I took several sheets of old cloths from my closet, shredded them into a few pieces, and folded them to be a bit thick and voila… my usable, DIY feminine napkins

At the first try, I got blotches throughout my sensitive area, but now not anymore (I suspected it was caused by the thickness of the folded cloths, I don’t know).

Anyway, I’m not yet satisfied with my creation—I mean it’s still so primitive, so lots of times it feels a little uncomfortable. Do you guys happen to have some ideas in making comfortable and earth-friendly usable, DIY feminine napkins?
