We are guests here. Our time on this Earth is brief in relation to its’ general existence. It’s time to start asking ourselves what can we do? I’m just one person how will what I do affect the world? Sometimes that’s all we need is one person. But if we could get a lot of people to do just one thing imagine the impact that would have. Reusable straws have started taking off and becoming quite trendy. We are all happy to discuss our reusable bags. However, there are some other items causing so much landfill and ocean pollution that many find awkward to talk about. The average woman gets it every month for anywhere from 30-40 years of their life and it’s completely natural. That’s right ladies (and any gents who are suddenly regretting starting to read this) periods. Yes, that’s right I said the P word.
Every month the average woman will go through 25-30 sanitary items – that’s on average 300 a year. Not only do we need to consider the waste after the product has been used, but the production resources that are used to create such a mass of single-use products. In Cyprus alone based on our current population and averaging half being female and 70% of that being within menstruating age – if that amount of women are using the average 300 a year, that is almost 90 million sanitary items that went into our lands and our oceans last year.
Imagine what the rest of the world is putting out there. Not only is the sheer amount of products going into waste a problem, but they become toxic as well leeching out into the soil and potentially destroying the ability to plant in nearby areas. The production of LDPE (low-density polyethylene) alone, which is found in most applicators and the backs of pads have an enormous amount of CO2 emissions. To cut to the chase, single-use menstrual products have a major impact on the environment.
There has finally been a rise in products to help combat this. While there are a few options, menstrual cups are turning out to be the main choice of women making an eco-choice.
Menstrual cups are eliminating ongoing waste of disposable menstrual products, preventing unnecessary waste from ending up in landfills and oceans.
What people say
If you’re not using one already, Aphrodite’s Secret is definitely the next essential item to add to your repertoire of eco products.
Each box comes with two sized cups, small & large, made of high-quality medical grade silicone. The cups collects your monthly menstrual flow with leak-free protection, and collect 3 times more liquid compared to ordinary pads & tampons. Inserted just as you would a tampon, the cup can be worn up to 12 hours day/night and emptied a minimum of 2 times per day depending on your flow.
When positioned correctly, you will not feel any sensation from the cup. Unlike tampons that dry out your vagina, the unique innovative cup design allows for comfort while maintaining your vaginas natural moisture.
You’re also saving money on disposable products by not having to purchase tampons and pads month after month.
Wearing the cup is safe and effective to use during intensive physical workouts and water-related activities including swimming, saunas, and even public showers. It will give you the freedom to live your life and engage in all of your favorite activities without your period getting in the way.
Remember not to be afraid to talk about it to your friends. We pretty much all get them. More people are turning towards eco friendly and more financially viable items, so help your friends out and let them know there is another option.
