Make Your Own Menstrual Pads

Thur, Mar 3, 6pm; Women’s Center

Tired of stuffy “sanitary napkins”? Consider homemade menstrual pads! They are comfortably customized to your use and preference, and are a healthy alternative to the variety of chemicals found in synthetic products.

Patterns and materials will be provided. Sponsored by the Women’s Center.
