Those of us who menstruate are likely to use and throw away thousands of single use sanitary products while on our periods over our lifetimes. Not only are single use sanitary products damaging to the planet but they're not that great for our bodies either. We at be green. period. are asking you to pledge to use a multiple use menstrual cup to do your bit in the fight against climate change. It wont harm your body either!!!
Three Reasons Why You Should Switch to Menstrual Cups
Health
It is well known that single-use sanitary products averagely contain high amounts of chemicals and plastics. Menstrual cups absorb 35% less moisture then tamponsand are latex and BPA free aand hypoallergenic
.
Environment
During a person's lifetime, they are expected to throw away around 30,000Kg of single-use sanitary products. This is contributing towards climate change by adding to the already mounting piles of unrecyclable waste.
Money
Menstrual cups cost around £20, and last up to 10 years, making them considerably cheaper than single use sanitary products over the course of a persons lifetime. After 6-8 months of use, a menstrual cup pays for its self.
