When your period comes back, consider trying out a menstrual cup, reusable pads, or menstrual underwear like @shethinx (I have some of the latter and love them!!) If you've tried any of the above what do you think? Pros and cons? #Repost @flowdownpod (@get_repost) ・・・ For some perspective into the environmental impact that switching to a menstrual cup can have, consider this: 🔴The Huffington Post estimates that an individual uses and throws away more than 10,000 disposable period products in a lifetime. That equates to about 250 to 300 pounds of pads, tampons and applicators! And the UK-based City to Sea campaign has calculated that some pads contain up to four plastic bags worth of plastic. 🔴These products live on for many years: the time it takes for a tampon or pad to degrade in a landfill is centuries longer than the lifespan of the individual who used it. . . .
