For a short time for about a year maybe two I free bled. Because at the time i was still young (13) and was embarrassed that my brother would know it was that time of the month. Then when he left for college I started using what I need for that time. And now that he’s back I really don’t care anymore because I realized that ruined so many of my clothes.... never again! I’ve been using what I need to for 6 years now and honestly I don’t know why I even did it in the first place I feel so much more comfortable now. Sure I still try and hid the trash in the trash can.
