Advantages: Cheapest washable pad on the market Disadvantages: not so good for heavy flow
We are all becoming more eco-friendly and disposable pads & tampons are an issue for landfill and beaches. Care for your body and the planet with washable pads.
I really like these Popolini Menstrual Pads, as they are completely natural (no PUL waterproof layer), just unbleached or organic unbleached soft cotton terry. They come with 2 removable pads, so you can adjust the absorbency as required. They're slim fitting & really comfortable too, but the best bit is that they are definately the CHEAPEST on the market - such good value.
Tip for Washing - Soak in cold water to prevent staining, tumble dyable! Get a pad purse with 2 compartments for your handbag, one for used and one for clean and using pads is easy peasy away from home too. Mine have lasted for years, think of all the money you will save!!

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient
The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered.
The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too.
The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed.
There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used ...
Having been stuck with a busted camcorder on the morning on an important family visit, I dashed to a major electrical store to source a replacement, stumbled across this camera, researched the others on display and chose the S26 for ease of use, merit for the make (I bought Lumix TZ5 and have been really pleased with it, quality, capabilities etc, great lens) and general feel for the camera. in my opinion, X70 zoom works very well, resolution excellent for an "older" user and their "junior" assistants. I think that Transfer speed is not rapid, but "so what" in a camera at this price point. Very happy to recommend for general everyday trouble free use. BUT buy it on line for £60 less than the big stores and be even more satisfied that I am
