It's notes like yours that make us feel validated about working at GladRags. Both my grandmothers sound a lot like yours, with quilting being their craft of choice instead of knitting. They cooked, canned, gardened and told stories. But neither of them ever shared any menstrual lore with me and that makes me a bit sad. I wish I had taken the time to ask about their experiences because even when she was in her 90s, my Granny B. would say everytime she saw me, "are you still selling those "kotex"?
