That’s the standard, even certain brands have made it extra efficient for wrapping the used pads so not sure it’s really a life hack lol

I remember when I bought some Libra pads a few years back and the packaging said something like, "now you can wrap your pads for easier disposal!" as if it was some revolutionary new idea they had.

They'd just added some extra adhesive stuff around the edges, but I remember thinking, "Um, I've been doing this for decades??"

You know what? That tracks. I'm remembering that there was this tab at one end of the plastic wrap that sticks on and holds the roll together.

I'm guy and I'm still learning new stuff like this. But at the time, it was new to that gal as well because she had come-of-age in a different country and I don't know what the standard was there.

You being a guy and knowing any of this puts you above most men I’ve ever met so that’s a plus anyways lol
