Swelly Belly?
I am very very allergic to latex and have extra sensitive skin to boot, reacting to dyes, perfumes, soap, any additives period. (no pun intended). I can't even wear underwear because of the elastic (100% cotton, my foot!) except when I really need to wear it because need pad.
My vag hyst isn't till the 8th, but I have stocked up on Natracare natural pads nighttime to bring to hosp with me, as I'm sure they won't have anything suitable.. I tried them out last period, and they didn't give me any rashes or irritation.
Natracare is Non-chlorine bleached,Perfume free, Plastic-free, Extra soft cover, natural materials (that from front of package) and apparantly doesn't have any latex that comes into contact with my skin.

Where did you find them at? (The pads, that is?) I'm guessing someplace like Wild Oats (do they have those in Tucson?). I'm not quite that sensitive, but do have latex issues myself, and a ton of allergies, so I'm all about using something that isn't going to make matters any worse! Good luck, you've less than a week to go!

Wild Oats does live here in Tucson, tho it isn't my fav natural store. They do have them, or else they have Seventh Generation pads which are also Chlorine Free but have plastic to deal with.
Tucson's most honestly natural store is the Food Conspiracy Coop on 4th ave which is where I get the best selection of Natracare products.
Sweetie, if you have latex issues, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE, your doc knows it and does your surgery in a latex free operating room. I found this out from a surgeon when I had my sinuses operated on. Latex allergy is cumulative and gets to the point where it is life threatening. I am nearly there, as it goes systemic with body blisters and even asthma (when breath in latex dust like from fast food places that tear gloves on and off)
