This is what women in Cuba have to use since the country can’t produce paper goods, and doesn’t have money to import them: Pads made of fabric, that must be washed by hand since no one can afford washing machines,
Michael Moore and all of those touting “Cuban healthcare” probably don’t know about this detail of basic sanitation.

She claims it’s 100% biodegradable, reusable, and prevents you from participating in “savage capitalism.”
No mention of bacteria, stained clothes, or odors.
Meanwhile, someone else didn’t take well to this pre-industrial age idea (what am I saying? Pre-Roman times), and came up with snark,
“We couldn’t leave out [the] biodegradable Bolivarian tampons”
No wonder eastern Bolivia wants to secede…
Beyonce probably used the courtesy one in the hotel to clean her face with. Yes, I do believe that she is that dumb.
I know several friends who return to Cuba for a vacation every year, they stay with the same people and always make a point of bringing boxes of sanitary napkins .various tapes and socks for some reason werthers original toffees are a hit.. a pair of northern weight Blue jeans is a major gift.
Fausta–first prize for savage humor!
“The Bolivarian Revolution: We’ll send you back to the Bronze Age!”
“Bronze Age?” I think you’re giving the Bolvarian “vanguard” far too much credit. Paleolithic is more like it.
I’m sure the men who decided this never had to wash one!
Bleach sales would go up, LG!
