That time of the month is something that most ladies don't look forward to. There are some scary stats out there that suggest the average person uses over 10,000 in their life time! The commercial tampon (or the one you can buy at most chemists and supermarkets) come in a plastic wrap, or with a plastic applicator or some of them even contain plastic inside them to help absorb. The same with pads - it's crazy to think the amount of single-use plastic that is created by these types of products, products that are necessary for almost every woman. 

One of the best solutions is the menstrual cup. It is a zero waste product that can last 10 years made of medical silicone. It comes in two sizes depending on whether you have given birth vaginally or not. It might be a little 'weird' at first, but it's very quick to get used to.

Another option we stock is the organic cotton range by Grace and Green. That covers tampons, liners and day and night pads. It's a more environmentally friendly way to have a period, better for your health as they're made from just organic cotton and no hidden chemicals and also much for eco friendly. 

Everyone is different, and it's about finding out what works best for you.
