Feminine Hygiene
Although tampons have improved over the years, some studies indicate that tampon use can put women at disproportionate risk for endometriosis, breast and reproductive cancers because of toxins. Choose cotton and organic, or better yet, use a reusable cup or cloth pad.
Features: Reusable
The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one. In 2004, Mooncup Ltd. was awarded Ethical Company status for its commitment to people and animal friendly practices, making it the first sanitary protection manufacturer in the world to be a certified ethical business. Order online from UK.
