Don\u2019t feel bad, many women are not familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/menstrual-cups\">menstrual cups<\/a>. Like a tampon, it is worn inside the vagina, but rather than absorbing menstrual fluid and causing vaginal dryness it collects it. Check out our menstrual cup reviews.[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;3. Try using Cloth Pads.&#8221; content_max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.11&#8243; header_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;15px||||false|false&#8221;]Another great reusable option, cloth pads make a great choice for women that prefer to use external products.

Try using a stain remover such as Ruby\u2019s Red Wash to remove menstrual stains. Being made from a mixture of live bacterial cultures makes it biodegradable (a much better alternative than using harsh chemicals such as bleach).[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;5.

So it only makes sense that we\u2019re turning our focus to new ways to reduce our footprint and green our period routine. Read on for quick tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/detox-your-period-final-conclusion\/\">how to make the green switch for your period<\/a>.\n<!--more-->[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\"][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=\"2_3\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][et_pb_blurb title=\"1. Switch to an Organic\/Natural Pad or Tampon.\" content_max_width=\"100%\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" header_level=\"h3\" header_text_align=\"center\" text_orientation=\"center\"]\n\nThese options still provide the convenience of disposable products but are much more eco friendly. They are made from chlorine-free and plastic free biodegradable materials. They are also a safer option for your personal health. Not sure where to start? Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/detox-your-period-final-conclusion\/\">Product Quest<\/a> blog series takes you through all of your options, and even shares a real world perspective on making the switch!\n\n[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=\"2. Consider trying a Menstrual Cup.\" content_max_width=\"100%\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" header_level=\"h3\" header_text_align=\"center\" text_orientation=\"center\" custom_padding=\"15px||||false|false\"]\n\nA what? Don\u2019t feel bad, many women are not familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/menstrual-cups\">menstrual cups<\/a>. Like a tampon, it is worn inside the vagina, but rather than absorbing menstrual fluid and causing vaginal dryness it collects it. Check out our menstrual cup reviews.\n\n[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=\"3. Try using Cloth Pads.\" content_max_width=\"100%\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" header_level=\"h3\" header_text_align=\"center\" text_orientation=\"center\" custom_padding=\"15px||||false|false\"]Another great reusable option, cloth pads make a great choice for women that prefer to use external products. These are especially great for those with allergies or sensitivities. Not only are they comfy, but they come in many different sizes from mini to long.[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=\"4. SAVE your panties! (and sheets).\" content_max_width=\"100%\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" header_level=\"h3\" header_text_align=\"center\" text_orientation=\"center\" custom_padding=\"15px||||false|false\"]Don\u2019t toss those panties and sheets as soon as they get stained. Try using a stain remover such as Ruby\u2019s Red Wash to remove menstrual stains. Being made from a mixture of live bacterial cultures makes it biodegradable (a much better alternative than using harsh chemicals such as bleach).[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=\"5. Dispose of your products in an earth-friendly way.\" content_max_width=\"100%\" module_class=\"italic-text-hover\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" header_level=\"h3\" header_text_align=\"center\" text_orientation=\"center\" custom_padding=\"15px||||false|false\"]\n\nAfter you remove your product \u2013 what\u2019s the first thing you do? You reach for the roll of toilet paper, wrap the tampon or pad up, and toss it out. Simple enough, right? What if we told you that this seemingly harmless ritual cost us 141,666 trees per year \u2013 and that\u2019s just in the United States alone?\n<i>Yowza.<\/i>\nBe Prepared Period is thrilled to announce our new partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/other-products\/maskit\">MaskIT Feminine Disposal Pouches<\/a>. This fantastic product makes removing and disposing of your products easy, clean, discreet, and best of all \u2013 earth-friendly! It\u2019s made of an alternative to regular plastic, which is compostable and a whole lot nicer to the earth than our tried-and-true TP habit. A product that makes your life easier, and helps to reduce your footprint? Yes, please!\n\n[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/We_Believe_April.jpg\" align=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" custom_padding=\"10px||||false|false\"]\n\nRemember \u2013 small acts can change the world.
