It’s that time of the month again, but before you reach for that one time use of a stick you call a tampon take a minute to think. How much money have you spent on menstrual hygiene products that just end up in the trash? There are many women in this world like yourself who have a period once a month for an average of 5 to 7 days, thats a lot of tampons/pads just heading for the landfills. I am no math genius, but lets say the average women uses 300-420 tampons/pads per year = $100-$225 a year thats a total of $11,000 give or take over their lifespan. I don’t know about you, $11,000 down the garbage shot is just not ok!
Tampons/pads have been used for menstrual hygiene for many years. Is their even another choice? It’s not like woman can afford to stay at home every time they have their period sitting on a rag in the corner of a room. There is an alternative product that not only helps save your wallet, the environment, but also is a healthier product for your body.
