Some poor girl over at cloth_pads lost her entire stash.

Just had it stolen out of the washing machine. (Well, I suppose she could be lying, I certainly don't know, but it harms me not to assume it's the truth.)

Well, I commented offering to send her a pad when I got paid (and I got FIRST POST too, which is always nifty), and then umpetyumpteen people commented after saying the same thing - and she never replied to any of us, which was just great. I mean, here I am with the karma and gold stars of having offered, and I didn't even have to do anything! That just rocked!

Of course, just when I started feeling great about that, she did reply to everybody with her address in a locked post. She got more than enough pads (at least one person sent her a dozen or so!), but I *had* offered, so I went over to daybreaksadness's etsy shop and bought a "pay it forward" pad for $.20.

So I still got to do an actual good deed, instead of wallowing in intentions, and it didn't cost me much. That's good :)

Obviously washing machines work and get the pads clean, but I just wouldn't feel RIGHT wearing someone else's used cloth pads... (not to mention, I'd feel guilty if I stole them from someone).

On the other hand, it just might be a fetishist...

I hear you.

$10 says that the twit whole stole them didn't even know what s/he was getting.

That was my first thought. How many people even KNOW about cloth pads? But then, if you open the machine and there are a bunch of THINGS in there and you have no idea what they are, do you still steal them?

The answer may well be yes.
