I also use a shaker (the kind made for parmesan cheese) filled with baking soda to sprinkle on the pads in the pot. I wait and wash them all at once.

They are very earth friendly, reusable, and easy to use. Just google menstrual cup and you'll find tons of info on the various brands. I have a diva cup and I love it. I haven't used a pad or tampon in years, and at around $20, it's a great investment. You just put it in and forget about it for the next 10 hours or so, take out, wash and repeat.
