Interesting. When I was a kid, my Mom put cloth diapers on my little sisters. Cleaning dirty cloth diapers -- now that raises an "ick" response in me. But were I female, and had to deal with such things, I don't think I would be grossed out by cleaning cloth tampons.
Yes, be thankful. It's not so much "gross" as inconvenient and sometimes painful.
The thing that really freaks me out about the Sea Sponges is that aren't sea sponges a living thing, or the shell of a living creature, or something like that? The thought of someone sticking a live thing up their vagina to control menstrual flow is disgusting but hilarious.
