Too bad about the comments below such as this idiotic one:

"Posted by: Angell on August 16, 2003 04:21 AM
whoa!!!!!!!thats utterly disgusting!!!!! its bad enough we have to see that shit already let alone make footwear accessories out of them! i believe this is a strategy used by lesbians to gross out guys when their straight chicks make these things thinking its cute and o.k., when in fact the lesbians know that the reaction from the man will be negative and hurtful creating a problem in the relationship resulting in a need for comforting that can only be given by a women. its evil, its disgusting, but most of all its wrong!!!!!"

wtf? >:(

ummmmmm, right. i wasn't expecting that!! so now i have to ask--how in the world did you run across those??!! btw, that's a really interesting comment that angell left! creative in a different sort of way.

Well, I found it via a blog I follow: http://www.reecie.com/

She often has links to the wacky and wierd.

The responses to the craft are almost as funny as the craft itself.

I've seen these before. My sister actually made a pair for a friend's bridal shower. They're hilarious!

I remember seeing those on Not Martha a while ago. what a crazy idea! how funny! >>what a pity... my feet are bigger than your average maxi, oh darn! that's one craft idea i won't be trying.<< :^)

oh for christ's sake. (the lesbian comment) I think they are funny and great!

ha!

but you know, they make the xtra-long overnights, i wonder if they'd fit up to a size 10!
teehee teehee!

bwa hah hah!

that is awesome. i love it.

oh and the whole comment by this angell fellow/chica is seriously f***ed. if they think thay guys are going to be seriously, emotionally distraught over slippers made from maxi pads, they shouldnt date. guys can handle more than *seeing* a clean pad.

oh and i thought this reply to the crazies was pretty funny:

"All the pplz who think its sick can go suck my ballz. its not yuck or anythink so take some mother fuckin chill pillz!
If u dont like it then dont go all pussy and shit, its not like U HAVE TO WEAR THEM!!!!
Hey, ur on the fuckin net mate! u could b in American, England, or like me, in Australia, and u find this page and u think its disgusting and part of a "Lesbian Revolution?" THERE IS A WHOLE LOT MORE DISCUSTING SHIT ON THE NET THAN SLIPPERS MAD OF MAXI PADS!"

<applaudes>

What a riot. The craft itself slays me, but the absolutely ignorant, humorless, and troll-ish posts are priceless.

omg too funny! : )

i love the #3 feature of the pad slippers:

3. Built in deodorant feature; keeps feet smelling fresh

LOL
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )?!

Someone posted that they'd add them for the PMS kit -- that is a GREAT idea!

TEEE - HEEEEE!
Oh-wow-oh-wow-oh-wow!!!!!! oh this has made my day!!! I just can't get my head round the fact that people find these disgusting!!!! Do they buy their loo roll by mail order in a plain brown package or what??

How do these people cope with *anything*

Ooh I've got to send this link to everyone i know now...
hehehehehe

these would be a fantastically hilarious gift for lots of reasons:

congratulations on your pregnancy (no more pads)

new baby (you can see your feet again)

any hospital stays in the women's area (laughter, the best medicine)

ending relationships (soak up your tears)


and the people who find these disgusting would die around me-

if my nursing pads overloaded, at times I did use pieces of thin maxis in my bra

I have used pantyliners for everything a normal mom would only use baby wipes for. (head to toe)


don't even get me started on breast milk as a skin balm.....

Y'know, I think the deodorizing factor makes them a GREAT gift for the bf. Let's see, how could I dood them up... I could paint flames on them with nail polish, glue action figures across the top, or... he would really love this, as he's both macho and a geek, draw 1s and 0s all over them.

I like it! Xmas is right around the corner!

Here's a maxi pad bag that I ran across today... I had to find this thread again & post the link!>http://annlivyoung.com/maxipadbag.html

I have a stupid question. What about the sticky tape of the bottom. I figure that I'd stick to everything or if I leave the strip on the sticky it would be slick. Am I dumb or just missing something.

favorgrl

PS they would make a great gag gift.

those are pretty fxcking sick!

well, i still think they are very clever and funny! they'd make a great gag gift for a party. i love crafts that make fun of crafts.

EEK! Someone has to much time on there hands....BUT...It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo clever....I have to admit
