Ladies Only

April 23rd, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Alright, ladies, let’s get on with this intimate subject. Once a month, you probably help support Playtex by going through quite a few tampons. But you live on an acreage now. NO flushing!! Or else you will mess up your septic/lagoon system –this is not a “maybe” but a “sure thing”. And you must relay this house rule to your female children. This rule is not optional!

Now the gross stuff. Unless you take out your bathroom garbage every 2-3 days and have no flies in the house, you will have an issue with maggots. I know, I know, this is not a polite subject. But you should thank me because you now know about this possible problem. No one told me and, well, let’s just say that I learned about maggots the hard way.

A covered garbage can (ummm, in case of curious dogs) and taking out the garbage every couple of days will keep your waste system working and help you avoid the creepy crawly issue.  ♥

    Ok, since we’re on the topic, I always like to promote a solution I found a while back to this whole feminine products issue. A few years back I got brave and started using a menstrual cup (The Keeper), and I found that it’s AWESOME. A little yucky at first and takes a while to get used to, but you don’t have to worry about nasty waste products ever again, and over the long haul it saves you a ton of money since they last about 10 years! For me, this is the ultimate solution to living on an acreage.

    Wow, I’d never heard of this. I looked up The Keeper and it seems like a viable solution to more than one problem. Thanks for the tip! ~Suzi
