Choose a period product that works for you and the environment! Did you know that menstruators use up to 17,000 tampons or pads in their lifetime and plastic menstrual products generate more than 200,000 tons of waste per year? Unfortunately, most menstrual products are made up of plastic and are non-biodegradable, taking 500-800 years to decompose and products usually contain dangerous chemicals, like pesticide residues, bleach, and phthalates that cause harm to the body.
Alternative Products:
- Reusable Pads: they are safe and economical, lasting for 3-5 years. Try products from Rael, Glad Rags, or Knix.
- Menstrual Cup: they are safe, economical, and can last up to 10 years with proper care. Try products like the Diva Cup, Flex Cup, or Honey Pot.
- Sustainable Tampons: these are organic, biodegradable options that use little-to-no plastic. Try brands like DeoDoc, Natracare, or DAME.
