In case you're interested, Dear Kate's are high tech panties for reusable wear. Its kind of the opposite of the organic cotton pad! I like them better than reusable pads because I'm a bike commuter and the reusable pads I've tried bunch up and have snaps that chafe in a sensitive place when I ride. The absorbent fabric in Dear Kate's were invented by a female chemist and are she owns the small business that makes them, which is the type of business i try to support. They aren't cheap, but I've found them really comfortable and reliable. If you're interested, be aware that they only come in an absorbency equal to a mini pad or liner, so not for you if you need more absorbency. I used to use disposable liners as cup or tampon backup and find the full lining a perfect replacement for the day.
I'm so happy I found menstrusl cups that I want everyone to know about them. Anything that increases visibility is good in my mind. Just the other day I was daydreaming about sending email to one of my favorite sports clothing merchants to try to get them to carry one. Maybe I'll go off and do that now...
