My cycle is erratic so I like to wear a cup or cloth pad every day. The cloth pad also has the benefit of catching light bladder leaks due to coughing, when I was sick this winter. So today I had a light cloth pad.
I went to the bathroom every couple of hours no problem. Then I went and my pad was gone. What? Oh God please tell me it did not fall out of my pants leg as I was walking around the store. I finished and stood up, the pad was in the toilet.
This is a pad I had an issue losing it before, it fell on the floor in my bathroom. I think it just has a bad snap. I have never had an issue with any of my other pads.
Our toilet is on auto flush so I had about 10 seconds to decide: but I knew if it flushed the pad would clog the toilet and one of our very nice maintenance people would have to deal with the mess.
I had urinated. So I reached into the toilet and grabbed the pad right as it flushed. The pad had a surprising amount of water which is one reason I am fond of these things. Also it is a softer, squishier, experience for my privates than a disposable pad. I threw it in the little tampon trash can which happily has a lid. So no one could see my poor bedraggled, brightly colored, pad.
Then I washed my hands VERY well at the sink!
That's it for now.
