Wow that sanitary pad story is fascinating.
That is a sentence I never thought I’d say.
I know! I few years ago a feminine hygiene company was raising money for pads and to build washrooms in developing countries. I really wanted to raise money for it, but I was kind of disorganized, so I didn’t.
Relatedly, World Toilet Day is on Nov. 19, I think. I don’t know what I would do without a functioning toilet during that time of the month.
