Not to
disappoint the ladies, I have something special for them as well. When you
first got your period you were told you need to choose between tampons and
pads, but it was all a lie. There are multiple other options to use during that
time, and one of the best, most ecologically friendly, most convenient, and
cheapest options is a menstrual cup.
What is a
menstrual cup? A small cup made form medical grade silicone which you insert in
your vagina until it creates a vacuum, and it collects, rather than absorb, all
fluids. Several times a day you empty it, wash it, and reinsert it. It can hold
a lot more liquid than a tampon or pad so it doesn’t need to be emptied that
often, you can move freely and because of the vacuum there is zero chance of
leakage, and it is a lot safer than tampons, which put you at risk of toxic
shock syndrome. It has no chemicals and
leftover bleaching products, it does not create waste, and it does not waste
resources. Here is a rather amusing video made by one particular brand showing
some of its benefits.
