The clearly ‘young enough to need them’ females without those important female items was...well...it will be a learning experience for them. They won’t forget those again.
I bought quite a stock of them when my daughters were living at home and still have quite a bit.
Never know when they might come in handy.
And its not like they are going to go bad. I never saw them come with expiration dates.
They may be great items to barter with.....
back to the old timey days of using rags.
