For The Environment ? ?
Alternative menstrual products are, and have always been, available, though they've
unfortunately been buried under mass marketing of disposables. There are entire generations of
women out there who have no idea there even are alternatives!
Disposables create tons of waste every day. Millions of women throw away millions of disposable
pads and tampons along with their packaging. It's a huge strain on landfills and sewage plants.
For You ? ?
Disposable pads and tampons are bleached, perfumed, and chemically treated. They're full of irritants
and common allergens, and women everywhere are putting these products up against, or inside of, one of the
most sensitive regions of the body!
Although the environmental impact alone is enormous, think of what these products are doing to your
body, to your health! Tampons are so associated with TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrom) that there needs to be
warnings on the package! Is this the risk you want to put yourself through every month?
So What's The Alternative ? ?
Menstrual Cups and Cloth Pads.
Cloth pads can be made from leftover scraps of cotton fabric used to make other things. With a wide variety of fun prints and colours available, cloth pads can be personalized, and may be even enjoyed!
