Environmentally friendly solutions for THAT time of the month

We know the pain and inconvenience that can come with getting your period. So annoying! Although it has its important factors, that doesn’t make it any less of a pain (sometimes literally!). But luckily there are some alternatives that can definitely make your life easier! Let’s dive into this topic! 

Have you heard of menstrual cups? The small, flexible cup is made of silicone or latex rubber. Instead of absorbing your flow, like a tampon or pad, it catches and collects it. Menstrual cups are considered better than pads for several reasons. They are more eco-friendly, as they are reusable and don’t contribute to landfill waste. And also more cost-effective in the long run and can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time. Many people also find them more comfortable and reliable than pads.

On the other hand, how about reusable pads? Using reusable menstrual products like Hannahpad will help you become healthier and at the same time, help the environment by reducing landfill waste. On average, a woman uses up to 16,800 disposable pads and tampons during her lifetime; that’s a lot of waste especially if you multiply that by half of the entire population on Earth. Also, most reusable menstrual products are chemical-free and fragrance-free, decreasing the possibility of side effects like allergic reactions and hormone disruptions.

It’s mostly a matter of choice as both options are environmentally friendly, conscious and harmless to your body. Let’s talk about each so you can make the best choice for YOU!

The Menstrual Cup 

Pelvi Cups are a game changer in period care; they are easy to use, and healthier for your body! A comfortable design with a secure fit, offering complete protection from leaks. Unlike tampons, Pelvi menstrual cups don’t take breaks and have you covered for 8 consecutive hours. No cramps or dryness or irritation. Reuse one cup for 6 years!

The Reusable Pad 

Conventional disposable pads and tampons contain irritating chemicals and additives that interfere with how our body works naturally. And you don’t want these near you, especially at one of the most sensitive areas of your body! With hannahpads, you are safe from these unwanted substances. The top & absorption layers are unbleached and non-dyed. It’s organic cotton too! And speaking of natural bleeding, your period shouldn’t be thought of something gross or troublesome. It’s a perfectly normal, natural, and healthy thing! Many people get the perception that it’s gross especially because of the smell of a used disposable pad. But, did you know that your menstrual blood doesn’t stink like that? The odor comes from the chemical reactions and bacteria that grows when blood is absorbed into the chemical-full pad. With hannahpads, it shouldn’t smell like anything but your normal discharge & blood.  Get to know your body. Embrace what it’s doing.
