True story...I just started this morning..I am premenopausal so I have learned to keep a stash of Kotex in my home. Last period I went thru 3 boxes of the stuff. I didn't want to be caught short again, so I started to stockpile. I have , presently , about 6 boxes of Kotex and Always pads in a stockpile.

ok, so today, I opened up one of the bags..Kotex cotton cover or whatever..and sitting right there on top of the pads was a freaking BUG! Looked like a rolly polly sorta thing..curled up..EEEWWWW!!!!! What is this thing ? A bollweevil ? (because the kotex is cotton covered..I dunno )...I believe I've had this bag for maybe about, hhhmmm 6 months or so ? I really only have a period now about 3 times a year.

I store the bags in a huge Longaberger basket in my bedroom, dry, no food nearby...no dust, etc..I have hardwood floors too, if that helps..but again, EEEWWWW!!!!!

btw, the kotex are individually wrapped..so I do not see a problem in using them..do you think ?
