Hello Beautiful Ladies! I’m sure you have not failed to notice the change in the variety and materials of menstrual products available to deal with that dreaded time of the month; our menstrual cycles.
The world is changing. It is becoming more eco aware and environmentally responsible. It has come to the attention of many globally over this past couple of years just how much plastic waste is produced from feminine hygiene products such and tampons and sanitary pads per woman per year not to mention the cost to each individual! https://dollarsandsense.sg/

Changing Times
While some countries like Scotland have passed laws to make sanitary products free for all women https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-
Now for any woman both of these situations have a massive impact. That impact can also be on your health! Many sanitary products contain harmful chemicals! https://slate.com/technology/
The impact is also felt on the environment with over 200,000 tons of waste per year and all containing up to 90% plastic! https://www.walesonline.co.uk/
One thing we can not simply ignore is the fact that there are reusable alternatives. I can hear some of you say ewwww but lets have a look shall we at some of the alternative options than disposable menstrual products.
Menstrual Cups
DivaCup is the original leak-free, BPA-free, medical-grade silicon cup available in 3 different sizes. Now all women are built and shaped differently so it goes without saying that some women love this and will never ever return to regular disposable sanitary products and others just can’t get along with them. The only way to really know is to give one a try. There are many different brands of Menstrual Cup. I have friends that can’t use the DivaCup but love the Lena or OrganiCup.
