So it was bad enough, that last week Green Space reported on
birth control and shite. This week we're going to an even more uncomfortable place -- at least for 48 percent of you. (Ie. That would be the men folks of you)
Yeah, we're talking feminine hygiene here.
There's tampons and sanitary napkins, for the most part.
From my, err, seat, I've gotta vote O.B. -- yeah, they are still wrapped in plastic, but there is no ginormous -- sorry, ladies, and unnecessary -- applicators.
But the more I read about other, less disposable options, the more I am inclined to try other, less wasteful options.
There's the latex
Keeper and the silicone
Moon Cup and
Diva Cup. These are holders rather than absorbers...But after reading multiple message boards and blogs, this is pretty much the message I hear: "It took me a few months to get used to," she says. "Now it's been ten years, and I'm very satisfied."
So, perhaps worth giving a shot? After all, these are reusable products that last years. I can't argue with that.
