If you are not of the female persuasion you probably shouldn't continue to read. Any women I encourage you to continue to read.
After a lot of research into toxic chemicals that effect our everyday routines I went on a mission to remove as much as I could. I stopped using antiperspirant and went to an all natural deodorant, I changed my shampoo and conditioner. Even my makeup went through a drastic change of lineup. When I stumbled onto some articles regarding feminine hygiene, and how tampons not only contain may of the toxic chemicals I have been avoiding but they actually also soak up the good stuff created naturally by your body. I also learnt that pads are just as bad containing many chemicals. I really became appalled by what I had learnt.
I was on a mission to find something else something better. I came across a site called glad rags http://gladrags.com where they sell reusable panty liners and also menstrual cups. I know what you are thinking and I was thinking the same thing (this sounds gross). I decided to try the moon cup. I had also purchased a few panty liners incase there were leaks etc.
I am not even sure that I can put into words how amazing this actually is. I thought I was going to feel this, because tampons really make me feel uncomfortable. Unlike with tampons you can't feel it. There were no leaks at all. You should probably be comfortable with what is going on with your body, and be fine at the sight of blood, because unlike tampons this just catches it so you do need to empty the cup. You can wear it for up to 12hrs and because there are no chemicals you never have to worry about toxic shock syndrome. This contraption is not only great for your health but for the environment, and you won't have to spend all that money on feminine hygiene because this will last 5-10 years and only cost $30. It takes does take some getting used to but well worth it.
