When I got back to the land of milk and honey and falafel, I realized what I'd left at home. Cotton balls. Not a big deal. Certainly they're available here.
But buying more required a trip to the store, and we all know how I love to procrastinate.
Faced with the prospect of stubborn yet chipped nail polish and no cotton, I searched for something else that would be durable and absorbent. What, I thought, would a self-respecting girl scout do in this situation?
Adult diapers.
Cut into strips, I used them for two days. Everything from nail polish remover to clinique clarifying lotion went on those strips. And it totally worked.
The adhesive backing was slightly problematic, but you should definitely try them in a pinch. Unless you're not the menstruating type. In which case, I suppose you're just SOL.
Tampons would, of course, be more logical, but I can't bear to reenact those commercials that demonstrate leakage-stopping lateral expansion.

Hey Stephanie, it's Heather. I'm glad to see you are doing well. Newt mentioned you were back this way but I didn't know it was just for a brief visit. I'm very impressed with your ingenuity at cotton ball substitution, but I am curious though...why were adult diapers the option most readily available where you are?
