hey monashee, thanks for the info on chems in fabric sheets, i think the stuff has additives for that "april fresh smell addiciton". thought it was a big improvement over mothballs. being chinese, i grew up for years with my mother putting mothballs into my clothing dressers, because many orientals, esp. from the far east, considered mothballs a neccessity and has that "april fresh laundry smell", because there were moths, etc. where we immigrated from. go figure, damn, can't win at all
as for tampax use? our muzzleloader club in saskatoon used to be the highlight of the annual parades, during our "Louis Riel Days" around the exhibition time. they get to load the blackpowder and stuff with wads, then fire off the blanks, quite a crowd pleaser, a friend lost all the patches while walking the route, saw a mom with infant in the crowd, asked and got a disposable diaper (unused), finished the route biting a chunk off, and using it for stuffing on the blank loads, works just great.
another friend did the seneca run, the patches fell out, used leaves to stuff, finished the course, and still won.
always wondered if a few tampons should be kept in the possible bag for emergencies, or stringed onto the belt for parades or hunts, LOL
