Before the 1930s, one-time-use menstrual products, like pads and tampons, did not exist. Women used cloth rags, which could be rewashed and lasted for years. There's no reason not to do something similar now; a range of reusable products is available to suit a wide variety of preferences. It might seem a little weird at first, but picture a lifetime of used menstrual products polluting landfills, sewer systems and even oceans - now that's really disgusting. Accept your body, respect the earth, and buy some reusable products. You'll save money while reducing your environmental impact.
