Ways to Have an Eco-Friendly Period
It’s estimated that the average woman throws away 250-300 pounds of pads and tampons in their life! And what’s super startling is that up to 90% of those products are made out of plastic (namely polyethene, polypropylene and polyester), which are non recyclable and non biodegradable.
A sweet way to help alleviate the problem—buy reusable and eco-friendly period products instead!
Peep may latest segment on KATU’s “Afternoon Live” where I talk about some great alternatives to conventional menstrual products that are not only kind to Mama Earth but are also easy on the wallet.
Products Mentioned:
- Menstrual Cups – brands like Diva Cup, Pixie Cup, Glad Rags Cup
- Reusable Cloth Pads – My fave are by Glad Rags
- PMS relief supplements
- Organic Cotton or Bamboo Tampons – Natracare used to be my go-to before #cuplyfe
- DAME reusable tampon applicator
- THINX – period underwear
