DivaCup Brand Reusable Menstrual Cups

Menstrual cups offer a sustainable solution to the way women’s monthly flow had most commonly been handled, which was either by using disposable tampons or disposable pads. With the common and repetitive use of disposables, countless disposable tampons, pads, and their packaging are flushed and put into landfills. Most people don’t think about it and advertisers of the products even boast an “out of sight and out of mind” mentality. But the reality is these products are far from “out of sight”. They can be seen everywhere – in our landfills, washing up in our coast lines, our bathroom garbage cans, and traces of it may even be on or in your body! Not only that, but did you know menstrual cups and reusable tampons and pads:

• Are free of the additives in most disposable tampons & pads which can be harmful to the body.
• Don’t contain the polyethylene plastic in disposable pads, production of which is a pollutant.
• Are free of the by-product of the tampon bleaching process which contains a known carcinogen.
• Don’t use synthetic fiber rayon which may leave a residue on women that can lead to infection.
• Unlike disposables, reusables don’t contribute to pollution leaching into groundwater, streams, & lakes.
