6 Eco Friendly Period Products
200, 000 tonnes of single use menstrual products are generated every year in the UK and an average women will use over 11,000 disposable pads and tampons in their lifetime. These sanitary products don’t biodegrade and end up in landfills and the microplastics and chemicals pollute our oceans. In this post, I want to share 6 different eco-friendly and clean products that work the same but help the do our bit to save the planet. Although some of these products may seem more expensive, you probably will save more money as you won’t be needing to buy more products every month!

Moon cups are medical grade silicon cups which offer 8 hours of protection, which hold three times more than tampons! After use all you have to do is wash it out and then it’s ready to use again.

Very similar to a menstrual cup these ‘Ziggy cups’ have an extra thin, flat-fit design which means it can last up to 12 hours, only needing to empty twice every 24 hours.
Period pants are the perfect product if you don’t like using tampons. There are different types of pants, depending on the heaviness of your period, they can hold twice as much as tampons can, and there are lots of designs and colours to choose from! At the end of the day just place in your washing machine and they will be ready as new.

You can either purchase a mixture of the tampons and pads or subscribe to ‘period box’ which you will receive every month with the perfect amount of products depending on the heaviness of your flow.
