Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Actually....Women do have choices....
Aside from getting pregnant or having it all whipped out for good, or even getting injected every few months to ensure no further bleeding ensues.
Women can use tampons - flush them or burn them either way isn't terribly environmentally friendly...increase greenhouse gases or find them on a beach near you soon!
Or sanitary towels - with wings of course! And the same as tampons applies...not environmentally friendly.
Go back to rags or washable towels - the drawbacks - potentially smelly and they still need to be washed which means they're yet again not terribly environmentally friendly, but at least they are reusable so your VAT is only paid out once.
Or go with a Mooncup

Environmentally friendly, cheap, hygienic, blah, blah, blah.
But the downside is that you become a hippy.
My personal choice?
Not telling...but I have taken up wearing flowers in my hair.
