Boots menstrual pad (towel in the U.K.) belt for a tabbed pad. Boots medicine bottle. Yet more underpants Pad (towel) directory Tampon directory. I thank the U.K. donor! Below: Front of the briefs. The sylvan setting is my back yard. I had to shoot the photos as fast as I could before the neighbors could say, "NOW what is he doing??!!" The mannequin comes from the former museum in my house, which caused whispering around the neighborhood as well as around the world (see media coverage). Below: Side view, I need not tell you. A feral kitten awaiting spaying watched the session. I think I detected her shaking her head in disbelief. I hope she doesn't meow to the neighbors! (Many cats have already shaken their heads in disbelief and wagged their paws at me.) Below: Back view. Either the mannequinas should gain weight or the briefs lose it to make a better fit. Below: The reinforced crotch.
