nora....i think orang dulu2 tak der pads...so dorang pakai kain...then they cuci n reuse....so maybe bila pads dah ade they still cuci...
i heard pple said cuci lebih 'sopan' n lagipun 'frens' tak visit....dunnolah....
cuma in todays context...we normally buang ajer kan....without washing the pads....
