A menstrual cup is just one of many options, trust us
ICYMI, periods are having quite the moment. Period. End of Sentence, the film about women in India who are creating a business around pads, won the best documentary short at this year’s Academy Awards. The British Columbia government announced in April that public schools must provide free menstruation products for students, the first province to do so in Canada.
At last glance, there are myriad articles online that dig into what menstruation really means to us as a species, and people all over the world are taking to social media to dispel myths and spout the truth on what our “time of the month” really looks like. Did you know that until 2015, feminine hygiene products were not considered essential and were taxed by the Canadian government? We have the Canadian Menstruators foundation, and a few key leaders in Ottawa, to thank for that taxation change.
Another big challenge of the period revolution is how to deal with Aunt Flo sustainably. After giving birth to my daughter in 2016, I felt an ever-growing desire to have healthier periods while lessening my environmental impact. Perhaps it was because I didn’t actually get my period for about 365 days due to being pregnant—it didn’t come back until three months postpartum—that I finally noticed how wasteful the whole endeavour actually is.
The good news is these reusable innovations just keep getting better and better. Here are some of the latest ways to have a more sustainable period, each and every month.DivaCup recently launched their size 0 cup, designed for people 18 and younger to help them manage their periods without all the superfluous stuff. So if you know someone on the cusp of getting their period, here’s some sage advice youcan pass along.
