Choose a large jar, container, bucket etc for your pads to be soaked in. Jars are particularly good as they have a lid and therefore won't spill. Large jars available cheaply from discount stores are a great option. You can hide it in your cupboard or under your bed if you don't want others to see it, or you can put it in a decorative cloth bag. Options when you are travelling include leak-proof plastic containers or leak-proof Ziploc style bags. Alternatively, if you are just out for the day or at work, most pads can be folded so the soiled part is in the middle. You may wish to rinse the pad in the sink, or simply place the pad in dry in a protective bag such as a Ziploc bag. You can also purchase reusable cloth "wet bags" similar to diaper bags from many cloth pad sellers. Ensure you soak the pad when you get home so as to prevent stains setting in. Soaking or rinsing soon after use is essential to prevent stains from blood, urine or discharge setting in. Hot water sets in stains. When you remove your used pad, place it in the jar and fill with cold water. If the pad is heavily soiled, rinse it in the sink before putting it in the water. Optionally, you can add one of the following to the soaking water: a dash of lemon juice, a dash of white or apple cider vinegar, or 2-3 drops of lavender, tea-tree or eucalyptus oil (use good-quality essential oils, not cheap poor-quality versions). These all prevent musty bad smells, and are gentle but effective antibacterials/ antimicrobials. This is particularly important if you have a thrush (candida) infection. once you cure the infection, you must disinfect the pads by soaking as mentioned above. The sun is also very effective at killing germs- hang your pads out in the sunlight for the day if you're worried about germs. It is not recommended to use hospital grade disinfectant soaps such as Dettol as these can encourage "antibiotic resistant bacteria" to flourish. Changing the water too often can be a waste of water if you are environmentally conscious. By rinsing a heavily soiled pad before you put it in the tub, you can prevent the need to change the water before wash day. Don't pour it on the garden as the water contains blood and body fluids as is therefore unsafe.) Usually, the pads can be safely added to your general laundry, and don't need to be on a separate load (that can use up extra water/ energy). Try to wash with dark colours, just in case. Washing does an excellent job of washing away stains and germs, so there is no real need to be concerned over germs going onto other clothes. If you are concerned, you can a dash of white vinegar to the Rinse compartment/ cycle of your machine- it is a natural and safe disinfectant. If there are stubborn stains on your pads, you can use anything from baking soda pastes, to sunlight, to commercial stain removal products to remove them. Dry hanging straight on the line so they'll sit nicely in your underwear and won't crinkle and be uncomfortable. If you don't want other people to see them drying, you can purchase a small clothes horse or clothes hanger and hide it in an unused corner of the house or your bedroom. You can iron pads that are completely made of natural materials such as cotton/ flannel, but never iron pads that contain synthetic (eg microfibre) or waterproofing (eg PUL) materials as they will melt. Never iron over buttons or press studs as they will melt.

Summary: Select a tub. Use cold water. Change the cold water if it appears dirty, soiled, begins to smell, or every couple of days. Add the rinsed pads to the laundry on wash day (don't add the soaking water- pour that down the sink safely.

Thanks to the passive gene we chose before starting the game, Neurax is evolving Symptoms without the need of DNA points. Now that we have spread to other countries, it is best to strengthen Neurax by evolving the Drug Resistance 1. Your worm will become resistant to class 1 and class 2 drugs, increasing the ineffectiveness of the drugs in wealthy countries. If you have enough DNA points, evolve Cold Resistance 1 and Cold Resistance 2. Since our Neurax is already used to hot climate, it's ideal to focus on Cold Resistance instead of Heat Resistance. This evolves the Neurax to withstand cold temperatures and climates, increasing its infectivity in northern countries. Go back to your game and have Neurax spread. Pop all the red bubbles. As the Neurax spreads, the world will start focusing on creating a cure. Evolve your Air 2 and Water 2. This will unlock a new gene, Air 3. Evolve it. If you still have enough DNA at this point, go back to Abilities and evolve the Drug Resistance 2 and then return to your game and watch the Neurax spread across the country. Pop any bubbles, including the blue. Trojan Planes will appear more. Use those planes to spread Neurax in countries that aren't affected by the worm yet, especially Greenland, Iceland, Sweden, the Caribbean, and Madagascar. If your Cure reaches 25%, open your Disease window, click Abilities tab, and then choose Genetic Reshuffle 1. World Cure is now in progress, and every country in the world is now infected with Neurax. You will now focus on infecting all the people and leave no one healthy. First you need to evolve the Genetic Swap. Evolve Mutative Regeneration 1 and Mutative Regeneration 2. Since there are only few or no dead people yet, Corpse Feeder 1 is useless. Mutative Regeneration, however, increases the chance of mutation.

Summary: Evolve Drug Resistance. Evolve Air 2 and Water 2. Evolve Genetic Swap.

If you set your tomatoes on a sunny windowsill, they may ripen too quickly and spoil before you can eat them. Keep them out of direct sunlight by placing them in a cupboard or in a shady spot on the counter instead. Try putting your tomatoes on a pretty plate to enjoy their bright color until you use them. Fresh tomatoes will last for about a week on the counter. If you picked your tomatoes before they were ripe, you can help them ripen faster by placing them in a brown paper bag. Add a banana or a sliced apple to the bag. These fruits produce ethylene gas, which is a chemical that tomatoes produce during the ripening process. Refrigeration will prolong the life of your tomatoes, but it also alters their fresh flavor and texture. Try to use as many of your tomatoes as you can without refrigerating them. If you do refrigerate your tomatoes, put them in the crisper to preserve their taste longer. Tomatoes should last for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator. If you want to preserve your tomatoes for use later in sauces or soups, try freezing them whole. Just take the core out, then place the tomatoes in a freezer-safe bag or container. There's no need to remove the skins, as these will slip off easily when you defrost the tomatoes. Frozen tomatoes will keep for up to 6 months in the freezer. To defrost the tomatoes, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Summary: Store your tomatoes in a cabinet or on a shaded countertop. Place tomatoes in a paper bag with a banana to ripen them faster. Don't refrigerate ripe tomatoes unless you have to. Freeze tomatoes whole to use later.
