Anyway, looking into the issue (not that I expect to be troubled much longer by our regular friend) I’ve come across something called a Mooncup – see www.mooncup.co.uk . Ladies could you see yourself using a reusable silicon pot and a washable panty liner?

Also (as no doubt there will only be a short interlude before I’m adding to landfill with incontinence pads) does anyone know of an eco-friendly solution to this issue? It might be something worthwhile remembering.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=28571#Comment_28571 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=28571#Comment_28571 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:41:27 +0100 ludite ]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=28652#Comment_28652 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=28652#Comment_28652 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:45:45 +0100 mrswhitecat
Added to which, when looking at friend's 9 year old running around in her vest recently, I couldn't help but observe it might be about time she had that conversation with her daughter.

Mine has been a real plus - not just on the eco front (no pads/tampons being shipped around) but for general summer comfort. And as this is a building site I should probably shut up now, or lots of hairy, hunky builders will be going greener than usual... ;-)]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31175#Comment_31175 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31175#Comment_31175 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:09:03 +0100 ted https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31178#Comment_31178 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31178#Comment_31178 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:29:39 +0100 JackyR https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31201#Comment_31201 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31201#Comment_31201 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:23:52 +0100 TheDoctor https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31302#Comment_31302 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31302#Comment_31302 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:08:57 +0100 mrswhitecat
After much soul-searching we admitted mother in law to a retirement home on Monday. First criteria in the selection procedure was the sniff test.

We moved her in with about half a cubic metre of Tena ladies, but since she has Alzheimer's type dementia I can imagine that night time incontinence is just the beginning.

I'd also be interested in a view about comfort. I must admit I've never been able to get mum to wear the Tena ladies properly but I can't bear the thought of a soggy washable working its way down her tights leg.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31303#Comment_31303 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31303#Comment_31303 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:23:41 +0100 StuartB ]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31307#Comment_31307 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2240&Focus=31307#Comment_31307 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:37:57 +0100 mrswhitecat

She's not too bad at the minute (night time only) - but I imagine it only gets worse.
