Did you know that the tampons and pads you buy in the store contain potentially dangerous chemicals and are usually made from cotton that contains pesticides? Not only that, you will waste thousands of dollars on these products over the course of your menstruating years. Reusable menstrual products will help you keep hundreds of pounds of paper and plastic products out of our landfills and sewage processing plants - you can save a bundle and be more comfortable too!

Cloth pads may seem weird at first, but once you try them you will wonder how you ever survived with those paper and plastic kind! When I first heard about reusable menstrual pads, I was sure they would be too hard to take care of. I was so surprised to learn how simple they are to clean. I have not bought throw away menstrual pads in 7 years! The cloth pads are just so comfortable and easy to use. I just toss them in the washer every few days and run a cold rinse cycle, then a wash cycle. Voila, clean, fresh pads ready to use again.

Reusable sea sponge tampons or menstrual cups are the perfect solution for those who prefer tampons. With these reusable options, you can be sure that there are no dioxins or other potential carcinogens in the products that touch your most sensitive tissues for 1/4 of your childbearing years (one week per month).
