Hi Laurel,

Thanks for the words of confidence. And I know you're right, if it's what I'm comfortable with then way should I care what anyone thinks. Why should we feel as though we have to use what the main stream market provides us. I'm forty-three years old and by now you would think I should be able to wear or use whatever I want without being harassed for it .

Anyway, I'm done with my rant. You asked where belts and tabbed pads can be found. Well it's not as easy as walking to the corner store anymore. Tabbed pads can sometimes be found in pharmacies, but the belt is a whole other matter. I've bought them from stores on line but I've had the best luck on ebay... of course. A little bit expensive but worth the name brand. Just do a search for "sanitary belt" or "tabbed napkins" or even "kotex". For example here are a couple of links:

Hope that helped.

Thanks again Laurel,
Kate
