This One Is For The Girls
Happy Hump Day!
Today is my first written post and well, it's a good one. All those women out there looking for a green, healthy and eco-friendly way to deal with your monthly visitor I have some ideas. I want to be up front and honest that I have NOT tested these products but I do plan on testing them once I get my period again. I discovered these products while doing research while pregnant and while doing May's Great Cloth Diaper Hunt.
First up is the replacement for you're feminine pads.
Above is cloth feminine pads by Lunapads available at www.lunapads.com
Cloth feminine pads and liners are a great cost efficient way to deal with your period. I know what most of you are thinking, how do you deal with these? For those of you who use cloth diaper you'll be familiar with these bags we love called Wet Bags. You simply use your pad and when you go to change it put the dirty pad in your bag. Next is the fun part, cleaning your pads. The lovely ladies over at lunapads have made a video to help you along with your laundry. For those pregnant women out there, they have a postpartum set so you don't have to use the throwaways at the hospital and at home. These pads come in various absorbances, sizes, styles and fun prints!
You can purchase these from your favorite cloth diaper site, etsy and straight from the companies.
Now for the women that like the their tampons. Lunapads has their own green tampon called a DivaCup. Another brand would be Lunette Cup.
So a lunette cup comes in two sizes, as does the divacup. Size 1 is suggested for women who have a light to moderate period and/or those that haven't had sex and size 2 is for moderate to heavy periods for the Lunette Cup. For the Diva Cup; size 1 is suggested for those under the age of 30 who have not had a baby and size 2 is for those older than 30 or those who have had a baby. It's simple to use; wash, insert, wash and use again. The cup is healthier for your body, instead of using a tampon which has chemicals that your body absorbs as your blood is absorbed, you're using a cup which does not release any chemicals into your system. Bonus on the lunette is it comes in various colors.
Bonuses of using eco-friendly feminine products:
Using No Chemicals
Lighter Periods
No risk of TSS
Saving Money
Less chance of developing a Yeast Infection
Saving the Planet (Less Waste)
**Again I have not tested these products myself due to the fact I'm breastfeeding and don't have a period.**
