Ondoy has terrorized Metro Manila with its strong wind and rain, a lot are stranded without food and water. These are basic necessities in order to survive, but I would like to add one more thing to the list and it is feminine napkins

Just because a calamity came does not entail that women's period would stop, right?
What's better is to use pasador or the reusable cloth that our grandmothers used before the dawn of disposable napkins came. If I would get the chance to grab this I will as it is very eco-friendly and maybe it will help reduce the floods happening as there would be less garbage clogging our drainage systems.
