So what alternatives are there for you to choose?
Reusable products are becoming more popular meaning the choice is now much greater than it was even five years ago!
One choice is a menstrual cup.
Cups have been around for a long time but were traditionally made in a none sustainable way.
Now there are companies such as Saalt which is producing ethical and sustainable cups.
Saalt believe reusable is the future and they have created cutting-edge period care products that are toxin-free.
Not only that, but Saalt are a certified B Corporation, and commit 2% of their revenue to donate period care in regions with the most need.
Another choice is reusable leak-proof apparel from Modibodi.
Designed to completely replace disposable pads, liners and tampons, it’s a better choice for the planet.
Their products have a purpose, are made from fabrics that feel good (and do good), and are an eco-friendly way to manage periods.
