What an amazing post! Thank you for sharing all this information about menstrual hygiene. Not only for the data and statistics that you present us regarding the environmental impact of many products indicated for menstruation, but also for sharing so openly your menstrual experience. We should definitely talk more about it.
I get curious... What happens afterwards? How does it change your life to stop menstruating? I would love to read more about your experience.
20 years your menstrual cup lasted!!! A lifetime. Personally, I have been using my cup for about a year now and I'm not very sure about it. Since constant use can cause me discomfort, I decided to experiment with cloth pads - because because disposable pads and tampons are no longer an option for me. I got to work on this project and managed to sew my first pad with recycled fabric! So we take advantage of cotton fabric that we already have to give it a new use. The results: IS FANTASTIC I LOVE IT!
And I also loved this post. I believe that living on this planet is a responsibility, maybe not all alternatives will suit everyone's needs but, if we try and understand the commitment to live more consciously, surely we will find - or create, an ideal alternative for us. You just have to do your research, open your senses and get down to work.
Kisses and good wishes in this next cyclical/menstrual stage.
