Plastic Free Alternatives

Today reminds us of the importance of protecting and advocating for our planet.

Let us know in the comments below what you do everyday to reduce your impact on the environment!

One way to reduce your plastic waste is to use a menstrual cup.

Here are a few more reasons to convert❤️

🩸They are reusable, lasting for years with proper care. This means less disposable period products ending up in landfills.

⁠🩸You only need one cup unlike reusable pads or period underwear where you need to build a collection.

🩸They are budget friendly as you make a once-off purchase versus buying pads and tampons monthly.

🩸You’re not at risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a rare infection associated with tampon use. Despite this, be sure to wash your hands (and your cup) well to avoid risk of infection.

🩸They hold a surprising amount of blood. This means you don’t have to change them as often.

🩸Good protection against leaks when inserted correctly.

🩸Good for you & the planet!
