Why You Should Make the Change to Reusable Period Products
Take a Stand This Environmenstrual Week: Switch to Reusable Period Products and Save the Planet
From hushed whispers in school corridors to bold, empowering conversations, we've come a long way in talking about periods. But there's one area we need to chat about more - the environmental impact of disposable period products. This Environmenstrual Week, let's talk rubbish (literally!) and explore how switching to reusable period products can create ripples of positive change for our lovely planet and our health.
Did you know that every year, our planet gets a whopping 45 billion period products heavier? And guess what? Most of them end up in landfills or waterways, taking about 500 years to degrade. That’s longer than your grandma’s, grandma’s, grandma’s lifetime! We have an eco-solution right at our fingertips - reusable period products!
And it's not just Mother Earth who'll thank you, your body will too! Those disposable pads and tampons are often packed with synthetic materials that can cause irritation, allergies, and other health hiccups. But with reusable period products, you're using natural, non-toxic materials that allow your body to breathe easy.
Did you know people can use up to 11,000 pads or tampons in their lifetime? That's a mountain of money! On the other hand, reusable products like period pants, cups and cloth pads can last for years with proper care, making them your wallet’s new BFF.
Let's not forget about the convenience factor. Imagine a day without worrying about leakages or running out of pads or tampons. With reusable period products, that dream becomes a reality. No more midnight runs to the store, no more panic during trips. Just wash, wear, repeat!
Ready to make the switch? Start by doing a little homework and find what suits your lifestyle and comfort. You might start with a cup or pads and then gradually transition to period pants. It might take a bit of getting used to, but trust us, the benefits are well worth the initial effort.
Plastic periods are so last season! It's time we shake things up and make a change for our planet, our health, and our wallets. Environmenstrual Week is all about raising awareness of the benefits of reusable period products, and we're thrilled to be a part of this movement. So, are you ready to join the real period revolution and make a sustainable switch? Let's do this together, one reusable period product at a time!
