Ladies, ditch the nasty pads and tampons that fill up landfills, put chemicals in your
body (unless they’re organic), and get yourself a menstrual cup!
Tampons with plastic applicators are the worst! If you’re going to go for tampons, at least go for cardboard or those without applicators.
I was hesitant to try this, and it definitely took some getting used to (just putting it in properly), but now, I love it! I’ve had mine for over 5 years.
You can keep it in for up to 12 hours, and just need to dump out the blood and rinse/clean when you change it. At the end of your cycle, you just need to boil it in some water, and that sanitizes it.
There are many brands out there, and many that are cheaper than this brand, so I encourage you to try one out!
