Menstrual pads/tampons
Try a menstrual cup or reusable cloth pads, they can last 5–10 years and save money. Prefer disposables? Go for organic cotton to avoid toxins and irritation.
Use a menstrual cup or reusable cloth pads. It takes some trial and error, but finding the right cup can prevent thousands of disposable products from going into the landfills & can save you money since these products can last 5-10 years! If using a cup seems too daunting and intimate (although I prefer to think of it as empowering), then use pads/tampons made with organic cotton which take less energy and water to produce, and avoid chlorine, bleaching, pesticides, fragrances or dyes which can otherwise cause allergy and irritation!
