Warning to guys, I'm speaking very candidly about a woman's MONTHLY PERIOD so if that grosses you out, you might want to hit the "back" button right now...
I'm surprised I haven't seen this anywhere but I figure it's safe to ask here (even if most posters seem to be guys!). We just moved into our offgrid house and we're using a bucket/sawdust toilet.
This morning it occurred to me that I'm not sure if there's any special protocol regarding my monthly which will be here next week. I am using a diva cup, and I'd rather not go back to tampons if I can help it. In case you don't know, the diva cup protocol is basically the cup stays inside and collects the flow, then you just dump it into the toilet and then wash it out, reuse, etc.
I can't imagine BLOOD being any more gross or bacteria-fying than
poop when it comes to decomposition/compost but for those of you who have been there, done that, is there an issue with continuing to do the same? I know blood can be considered a contaminant or pathogen, but so does poop and so I can't imagine it would be a problem BUT I'm so new to this I want to make sure
