Menstruation is an almost life-long phenomenon that women have to deal with. This also means that we always need to be stocked up with pads or tampons. Believe it or not, the millions of disposed tampons and pads put pressure on our natural resources €“ something that we might just be able to avoid.
Menstrual cups are a new innovation that seem quite promising in this regard. They're these flexible little things that can be worn for much longer than pads and are way more clean and comfortable -- at least as far as what the initial surveys tell.
They also have the following advantages:
1. Reusable for up to 10 years. Imagine the kind of money they could save. Also imagine the kind of reduction in demand they can bring about if all of us started using those instead of pads
2. If you don't like the idea of reusing a cup, you get disposable ones too, which are still a much better choice than regular pads as they do not cause excessive dryness and can hold way more fluid than pads or tampons can
Looks like being green doesn't always have to be more expensive, right?
