Looking for a school bag?

Emily

I need a bag for school and I can't find any I like in the shops by me, so I was hoping you guys could help me out :D

I'm not really fussy about the colour, but I would really like a white one, and it has to be a handbag/ shoulder bag and can't be too small because I need to fit some books in it! I hate having really small handles too. I'm not too bothered about the style as long as it looks nice :)
Also would be good if it wasn't too expensive! & I live in the UK so Uk sites would be good also! Sorry If I'm being too fussy! :P Best answer for my favourite bag =D thank you!

Everyone at our school has Primark bags!
They are quite cheap, look very nice, come in lots of different styles, and are big enough to hold lots of books!
They look like New Look bags but they are a lot cheaper.

Sometimes New Look can be expensive, but I got my new School Bag for £6 there, and it fits all my books!

Top Shop can be expensive, but I think they have a Sale on right now.

Not many people know about this shop, but you should check our your nearest store, because they sell lovely bags, and they're not too expensive especially if you go to an Outlet store!

Monsoon can also be expensive sometimes, but their bags are really nice quality, and there are a lot of nice white ones there.

This shop is called Octopus, I don't know where your nearest shop is, but if you can get to one, they sell really cool and quirky hand bags, purses, accesories, etc.
I love their bags, because no one else has one. :)

I love their White Panda handbags!!

Well, I hope this helped, and don't worry ~ You're not being too fussy, I'm like this with bags too!! :)

good place to buy messenger bags or hand bags for teen girl?

school bags uk sale image

Natasha

For school please. I am 14 btw. websites are fine i would prefer shops to be in uk but websites can be anywhere

Answer
I'm also a teen girl and I'm going through the same search. Places just don't have those classic messenger bags we're looking for anymore, do they? However, I have spotted a few I've liked. At Target, they have a great selection of messenger bags, like they have hundreds. I saw a bag a totally fell in love with at my local Target the other day, so it's definitely worth checking out. I also have seen a few good ones at JCP.com, but the selection isn't as great and I didn't find the exact style I was looking for. However here's my favortie from all their choices: http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1bf9307&Nao=0&Ne=4+840+877+878+5+961+6+968+29+3+598+11+15+12+

&N=4294959029&SO=0&PSO=0&CmCatId=searchresults
I also looked at Kohls, and I found my favorite bag yet; it's a little pricier than I wanted, so I'm going to wait for a sale: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/luggagebackpacks/messenger_bags/PRD~877426/Mudd+Messeng

I hope that you'll find what you're looking for in one of these sites!

Is this handbag too grown up for a 13 year old?

school bags uk sale image

http://www.lipsy.co.uk/store/sale-accessories/lipsy-princess-chain-bag-/product-is-AX01362_041

My daughter bought it with her birthday money, when she got it home I noticed it had written in pink "YOU'RE GORGEOUS" and "CALL ME XX" along with bright pink lips.

Am I being too overprotective and old fashioned here? Why did the makers decide this was needed?

Answer
the "YOU'RE GORGEOUS" caption is ok i guess but "CALL ME XX"!!!! That's a little too much. I'm 13 as well and i know my parents would rip me to shreds once they saw the "CALL ME XX" thing. No ur not being old fashioned, ur being a good parent. Now a days teens go over board with being provocative and they think they could do whatever they want and walk around with clothes making them look way more mature. I am not a dork, im actually considered one of the popular kids in my school but i even think "CALL ME XX" is unnecessary and too much. Try to see if u could cover up the print or take it off or bleach it off or erase it or something. I mean you could leave the lip stain but the call me thing is too much.

How to make reusable tampons?

ColleenNin

I know, alot of you out there will think this is gross but i dont and im not making you use them so leave it be.
So, im only a teen and ive only just started using tampons but i dont like the whole idea about TSS and every thing else about disposable tampons. Plus if i make my own i can make them to fit my body(yeah!). Becuase im a teen, i have to go to school so any body have any ideas to carry them before and after i use them. I have a hand sew pencil pouch with pockets on the inside that i use to carry pads in. Is there someway to make it waterproof to put my used product in.
What materials should i use
Do i need a filler (i want to be able to roll these up and unroll so their like a little blanket)
How to i sew them( not a fan of crocheting, i can but i dont think id work good for this)
What about the string
Can i make an applicator or do i use my finger

Thanks the more info the better.
Oh i forgot
How do i wash them( i cant use laundry detergent right)
can i use a regular plastic tamplon applicator and put my reusable tampon in there or what
Forgot some more stuff
I have a lower risk for tss becuase im not useing rayon right
how do i sew the string so that it'll be strong
When i do sew it, do i need organic thread
Out to charlie
Im kinda confused on your lingo
Whats surgical white spitis
Whats a non bio tablet
Thanks for your answer

Answer
You can use clean cotton either sewn or just rolled-up - what you use depends on you, and it's going to require trial and error both in making and figuring out absorbency.

You're probably going to want to use organic cotton or bamboo cloth, also consider how you're going to wash as it's no good using organic materials if you're going to wash in harsh chemicals that will increase health risks, but then don't wash well enough it's unhygienic. I'd suggest you soak with water and hydrogen peroxide, warm wash with soap nuts, and then maybe boil.

There are a few resources that talk about making tampons, for example this page has a few links to instructions on making your own tampons - http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~obsidian/clothpads/reusabletampon The cloth pads database doesn't have instructions on tampons, but does have information on different types of cloth used in homemade sanitary products and washing - http://clothpads.wikidot.com

It may also be worth looking at pre-existing cloth tampons to see how they're made, such as those on sale here - http://www.femininewear.co.uk/tampons-8-c.asp and on Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/search?q=cloth%20tampons&view_type=gallery&ship_to=GB

For school a wet-bag like women use for cloth pads should work - as cloth tampons are more hygienic than disposables they shouldn't smell as bad, but menstrual flow still has an odour so it would perhaps be best to include individual bags to put the tampons in prior to putting them into the larger bag, or if you're feeling brave you could rinse-out the tampons prior to carrying with you. You can't really carry your used products in your pocket, you'd have to put into a wet bag like this first, it's not very pleasant to walk round school with used tampons in pockets.

You don't need a filler, the cloth alone is enough.
You don't need a string, but if you want one just sew into the tampon.

You don't need an applicator - although I've seen women use sticks to insert cloth tampons, this shows the ridiculousness of applicators. Your vagina is yours and is clean, your flow isn't gross, and you wash your hands after tampon use - why use applicators? The sole purpose of applicators is to avoid touching your own genitals, it doesn't make insertion easier...it makes it harder as it's more complicated and doesn't allow you to feel resistance to guide tampon into place.

You don't seem to know anything about cloth tampons so you need to do a lot more research, but honestly I just think you're making things too complicated. If using tampons then why not just use organic tampons, sponge tampons, or pre-made cloth tampons instead of the fuss of making your own? Rather than tampons why not use safer options like softcups or menstrual cups instead??

Remember; although TSS has only ever been linked to commercial tampons (e.g. Tampax, Playtex, Kotex), reusable tampons may still pose risk of TSS and vaginal infections because at the end of the day they are still tampons which thus still have a negative effect on vaginal health and hygiene.

Consider menstrual cups or softcups.
Cups are far safer and more hygienic than tampons so no risk at all of TSS, vaginal infections, increased cramps, or exposure to chemicals and dioxin. As cups are safer and more hygienic they can be worn for 12 hours, with any flow, overnight, before your period, and no alternating with pads. Menstrual cups also don't leak like tampons, are easier to use, and more comfortable. Menstrual cups are reusable for up to 10 years, where as softcups are disposable (but still more environmentally friendly than disposable tampons/pads, plus can be reused a few times before disposal) or you can get softcups that are reusable for your entire period rather than just individual use.
