Today, I was reminded what poverty is like when I had to choose between buying food and buying pads. Now, I have to take constant bathroom breaks and wipe off my pad. I don't get paid until after my period ends. FML

Invest in a menstrual cup. The cups are reusable and pay for themselves over just a few months.

You could always use toilet tissue as a pad or a cloth. Not the best option, but better than not eating

You can get infections like that, use toilet paper. Roll it a couple of times and stick in in your panties. Even if you are wiping the blood off it still dries!

This is why pads and tampons should be free. We didn't choose to have periods!

You seriously can't find a dollar to buy some pads from the dollar store? You're gonna get an infection.

I still can't get over the fact that despite having a job, some people in the US have to choose between such essentials if they want to survive. So so sad :/

Cloth pads. Make them yourself and never have to worry again.
