Indeed, pads and tampons are often an unaffordable luxury for families living in poverty<[> OK. I'm going to relay a story that could be gross that was passed down from my family. Before pads and tampons were even invented women, like my grandmother and great grandmother used clean towels. My mother told me they would 'wring' out their cloths in to the garden bin which gave the plants an extra boost of iron from the blood. OK, it may sound gross. But that's the way it has been for thousands of years. And think of this... Progs want people to use "reusable diapers" but NOT reusable sanitary protection. Hmmmm.

The clinton foundation needs another $100 million in tax sheltered donations to buy tampons and breast pumps for Haitians ?

Why is that OK to create a laugh (say on America's Funniest Videos etc) with a baseball bat in to the nuts, but violence against a woman’s breast or vagina is not “funny” or “humorous”?

Good question. That stuff makes me cringe; I cannot watch it at all. In fact, I can't watch any of those shows where they put up videos of people getting hurt in situations that could easily kill them and call it "comedy."

Tampons and breast pumps for all, courtesy of the American taxpayers!

I wonder if her boobies leaked during this photo shoot. Or if she is still breastfeeding. The good news for Chelsea is that if she is breastfeeding full time and baby is not eating anything other than booby juice, then she is probably not bleeding monthly.

If she wants to pad and tampon the women of the world, then she should start a private campaign to raise pad and tampon awareness. I am afraid that many young women will die as a result of her tampon meddling. But maybe she can educate all the new users about toxic shock syndrome among other things.

As for breast pumps, my daughter just purchased one for $400. My jaw dropped at that price. She informed me that she was given a list of brands and models approved by insurance. She purchased the one that looked best for her. She said two years ago it was cheaper but that due to insurance covering pumps, the price has gone up. Now she has to hope for insurance reimbursement. I never used a pump. I never had anyone complain if I breastfed in public. I never had an issue finding somewhere to breastfeed. I did suffer leakage problems especially with my first child. Once I was being fitted for a bridesmaid gown, and I sprung a leak. It was the funniest yet embarrassing thing! Lol. Better to happen during a fitting rather than during the wedding!

Chelsea: “Please, won’t someone talk about a subject I have at least some passing knowledge of?”

Chelsea Clinton:....” Why we need to talk about menstruation and breastfeeding”....

Why is it everything coming out of Demorats mouths has to do with sex or sexual related body parts in one form or another?
Even their character assassinations revolve around it..... Must be the feminista's are in charge!

“The average woman menstruates for 3,000 days in her lifetime.”

Geez, Bill O’Reilly has had more erections than that in his lifetime, and he’s gets canned for talking about it!

She’s also excluding post-menopausal women.

This poor child.

I guess it is because she is an only child that she thinks she is the only woman in the world who has ever breastfed a baby. I am sure Hillary didn’t. Poor thing. She actually thinks there is a political dimension to this completely natural part of life.

I really really wish she would just go home and have at least five more children for Hillary and Bill to concern themselves with. Maybe then she wouldn’t consider herself so special with her “one of each” children.... but I guess hard times have hit since hubby is unemployed and day drinking.....

Does anyone believe for one second that she actually worried about how to handle breastfeeding when she got back to work at the foundation?

Now to the issue at hand. How long have women been menstrating and breastfeeding? Right. Ever since there have been women. Women have found a way to deal with those in ways appropriate to their time and place. Are there negative cultural taboos associated with menstruation and breastfeeding? Of course. But it’s going to take more than a rich white girl from America to take care of those.
