Geesh!!!  you are so right!!  How dare they squander your hard-earned money
with such abandon!  besides, anybody who bleeds like that deserves the most
severe of punishments.  I say: "cut their uteruses out!!!!"  Ah, women are
so spoiled these days!  we should really go back to the good old days when
they'd get buried in the sand to their neck during "those days"!  It saved
a lot of money on toilet paper AND sanitary napkins too.  Kept them out of
trouble too!

But, hey, you have a real problem on your hands, so here are some constructive
solutions that should solve your problem:
a/ set up  a separate budget for toilet paper
b/ suggest that they go back to using cloth sanitary napkins that you
will wash for them.

If the problem is not about money, but about waste, then I suggest you either
a/ recycle your newspapers or
b/ eat their sanitary napkins.

Yes, a psychologist would have fun analysing you.

> I also imagine that I will get flamed for this.

Flamed?  nah....   the topic's not even worth it.  Besides, you were too 
obviously asking for it.  It does take the fun out of it, you know....
