Is it a smart economy?
However, this method is really uncomfortable.
When walking, toilet paper will slowly move backwards because of friction. I don't know how many times I unwillingly put my hand into my pants and pulled the toilet paper back onto the sanitary napkin. Besides, the toilet paper is so thick that it's like sandpaper when I sit down or ride a bike. The most important thing is that the toilet paper is full of blood, and it won't stop the blood from flowing back like a sanitary towel. I don't know how many times I used a little effort to squeeze the blood out of the toilet paper and stick it on my pants.
Once I secretly used only sanitary napkins instead of toilet paper. My mother came back and found that there were sanitary napkins full of blood in the garbage basket but no toilet paper, so she scolded me and called me wasteful and extravagant. At that time, my family was really poor, but not too poor to use sanitary napkins.
Later, when I went to college, my mother left me alone. I use sanitary napkins directly in every physiological period, and there are many sanitary napkins of different sizes and brands in the dormitory. I can use what I want or change it at any time. I will never put thick folded toilet paper on sanitary napkins again. It's really comfortable
In fact, I don't object to pad paper, because some people do get the benefits of comfort, no side leakage and no allergies. But I am so disgusted with pad paper because the pad paper I grew up with is very rough and makes me uncomfortable. I remember once going to a friend's house to play in primary school, and that was the first time I saw pad paper. I pretended to wipe my mouth and smoked a cigarette. I was surprised to find that the paper was so soft. When I got home, I found my home in a mess.
As for my mother herself, she also put on paper. I know she wasn't very rich since she was a child. My grandparents didn't give her any wealth, but taught her to be frugal. Of course, she also passed this virtue on to me. But times are different. The previous frugality can be different from the present frugality. When I was very young, my grandfather picked up a piece of dry loess to wipe my ass, and my grandmother blew my nose with a big red cloth. Everyone blew their noses with that red cloth and waited a while. Similarly, sanitary napkins were rare in the past, and people used cloth strips or toilet paper. Now sanitary napkins are not very expensive. I bought a cheap brand for about ten yuan a month, which was affordable for my family at that time, but poverty was engraved in my mother's genes.
Because I answered anonymously, I didn't know my answer would have so many friends' comments. Today, I drove around Zhihu with nothing to do, and I accidentally saw so many favorite comments. Thank you very much for reading the story I shared.
In the comment area, many friends expressed their opinions, some hugged me, some shared their experiences, some accused my mother of "abuse", some asked me if I knew where the money I had saved went, and some asked my mother if it was college tuition, guessing my mother and my character. . . I am well aware of the goodwill and malice in the comments. I can't say anything about everyone's freedom of speech, but some words really make me feel helpless and angry, so I want to make some supplements to the original answer.

No one is perfect. My mother looks like a villain in this matter, but she can be said to be a good mother in life. Once I went to make up lessons. It rained heavily after school. I didn't bring my umbrella. At that time, my family had not bought a car. My father didn't come home until the evening of work. My mother has a bad cold, so I can't say it clearly. I was going to walk home in the rain, but my mother gave me a poncho with a bad cold. I studied neuroendocrine disorders in high school. I haven't had my period for two years. In order to take care of me, my mother cooks for me at noon almost every day and takes me to school. I'm afraid I can't eat well after sitting on the bus for half an hour.
In my life, my mother sometimes moved people to tears, and did some things that made me feel that I was not my own daughter, but on the whole, she was still very good, because the question was "revenge compensation for childhood" and it involved my mother's bad side, so I wrote an answer casually. I didn't expect so many people to read it, so I simply wrote it, which made it difficult for some friends to guess. This is my negligence.

I wrote a lot of words to refute some friends' bad comments on me, such as I am not a baiwenhang, I am not vain, I am not extravagant, I know my family is not rich, I want to share some for adults, I know that all the money saved is spent on me, and I also know that my college tuition is paid by my parents. Give up snacks now, and you can't eat a few bags a year. I earned at least 13 thousand in winter and summer vacations, and I lost it all. But it said I was really tired, so I deleted it all, leaving only these words. It's boring, really boring.
My expressive ability is limited, and my brain is not very smart. Why did I write so much and delete it? I don't know. It's boring anyway. It doesn't matter. Scold it. I won't argue.
