Before my first birthday after we met I had told my now husband that I wanted to switch to reusable pads. I showed him a brand I had in mind, but they cost 20€ per pad. So, that birthday I got a 200€ gift certificate for the pads so I could buy myself a starter pack. I don’t know what I loved more, the fact that he was so thoughtful or how he proved that he wasn’t one of those guys who get weird when the topic of periods comes up.
