These Plastic Free July posts were from a series featured on the Santosha Instagram profile and Facebook page. They are short and sharp posts intended to share how I have minimised the usage of plastic in my life.
Men (while you only make up 37% of my instagram audience) you can take today off. Today I am speaking to the ladies.
We’re all unhappy about the fact that we pay GST on sanitary products aren’t we? So why not save money, while saving plastic packaging, while saving toxins going into your hoo-haa 
and into the environment and make your life simpler.
The reaction to menstrual cups is often mixed, but I have NEVER heard from someone who has made the conversion that they regretted it.
What is a menstrual cup you say? Well it’s kind of wine glassed shaped without the bottom, just the stem 
About an inch in diameter, a mini wine glass. And it’s a cup to catch the 
It generally only gets changed twice a day, depending on your flow. And you’ll initially fork out around $50…and that will last you YEARS!!! Think of the savings.
Tampons are so full of toxic ingredients. Pads have all sorts of plastic happening in them.
There are a few brands of menstrual cups, so you’ll need to suss out what suits you. But trust me… you won’t regret it!
Nourished Life and Biome both stock the Diva Cup, the Lunette and the Juju.
