Vagabond VirginsIt was perhaps unheard of in 1964 for two young blonde Mormon girls from Salt Lake City to hitchhike though the Middle East. My sister and I were driven by a desire for adventure to see the world beyond Utah. But we wanted to remain Mormons, to be able to return to our family, our culture, the world we belonged to.

It was perhaps unheard of in 1964 for two young blonde Mormon girls from Salt Lake City to hitchhike though the Middle East. My sister and I were driven by a desire for adventure to see the world beyond Utah. But we wanted to remain Mormons, to be able to return to our family, our culture, the world we belonged to. In order to do this, we had to keep our virginity. The Mormon religion requires a temple marriage to enter the Celestial Kingdom in the next life. You cannot be married in the Mormon temple if you are not a virgin. You not only lose your chance of going to the Celestial Kingdom, you risk becoming an outcast from your family as well as your church.

Staying pure proved to be very difficult because we traveled only with boys. And as we formed romantic attachments to some of those boys, our struggle to stay chaste became harder and harder, even as we became more and more determined not to lose our virginity. We traveled through Egypt, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey, and then to Greece, Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Germany, and finally to Spain and Morocco. We had adventures in cultures very different from Mormon America, but we did not want to become exiles from our own roots. We thought we would return to Salt Lake City to marry good Mormon men and become mothers.

This memoir is about our realization, like that of other young women in the early Sixties, that our lives were not our own; they had been determined by the patriarchal culture weÕd grown up in. As our horizons broadened, we saw that we no longer had to be bound by the narrow confines of Mormonism. We could strike into territory that was perhaps dangerous, certainly unknown, but was of our own choosing.

Absorbent and Dependable!
Size: Size 5 (31 Count)
I absolutely LOVE these diapers! My son is a heavy wetter, and I was very skeptical about these diapers when I read some reviews saying they leaked. For reference, he is 16 months old and 22 is lbs. On one of the hottest days we've had so far, he drank so much that he peed and it just waterfalled out of his diaper onto my lap - while our taxes were being done. That diaper had been changed about an hour prior! He was wearing a Huggies that day, which we've used pretty religiously without issue - though we had started experiencing overnight leaks. I remembered really liking the Mama Bear wipes when he was a NB, he needs something sturdier now with big baby boy poops - but definitely remembered loving the wipes, and that they were gentle on his sensitive eczema skin. After many reviews, I decided to order these, oh my gosh what an amazing diaper! I will say, the only flaw I have noticed is if you pull the leg liner too hard it tears a tad, but out of a whole pack - that happened once. Otherwise, PHENOMENAL! Our first try was at night, and my son slept for about 8 hours, we had a brief reprieve from erupting molars - so it was a full night's sleep it was tested on. There were no leaks, the diaper was squishy and heavy, but not the way the diapers we would normally use were. I'd had Huggies' diapers elastics snap in the morning due to the amount in his diaper, these held shape pretty well I was so impressed. I've ordered another pack, as well as the regular Gentle Touch diapers to compare their functionality. Overall though, very happy!

Good Quality and extremely Affordable!
Size: Size 6 (100 Count), Size: Size 6 (100 Count)
I was tired of paying $60+ for a pack of diapers and we have used Mama Bear Water Wipes for years with our kids, so decided to give these a try. Soft, super lightweight, and holds very similar capacity as the Pampers we’ve used for years. No smell, no rashes, and no rips or tears in diapers. Great quality at a low cost — I would absolutely recommend trying if you’re looking for affordable option without sacrificing quality. We’ve had a subscription for about 3 months now and really like these!
