Hey steemazz!
As nappies for our tinies, menstruation bandages & co. contribute immensely to the tons of waste humans generate daily. This caused me to experiment with alternatives throughout my life.
I have gathered some really working alternatives, that feel good in regard to our respect towards nature and feeling comfortable during menstruation - it's a choice you do have. So have fun to check out the following links.
Totally free yourself!
I have just read such an amazing article about menstruation by one of our steemit-sisters, a number one statement for me: https://steemit.com/health/@erh.germany/free-menstruation-without-any-bandages-tampons-and-co-about-what-how-and-why
I would appreciate lots to know more about longterm users experiences of this method. One of the core thoughts:
"The targeted use of the pelvic floor muscles also makes it possible to stop the "threatening" blood flow and delay it a little when at times going to the toilet should not be possible."
Here is the original & more detailed german post: https://steemit.com/deutsch/@claudiapeters/freie-menstruation-ganz-ohne-binden-tampons-and-co-ueber-das-was-das-wie-und-das-warum
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles
Ladies, this will support and benefit you anyway and totally!
TIGER FEELING - this woman's got it: https://www.cantienica.com/benita-cantieni - you will love her!
Another way is YOGA, of course and do you know the YONI EGG? That precious practice will increase tonus and vaginal hygiene just perfectly.
Profound information to start with in german: http://yoniegg.rocks/de/ and in english: https://yoniegg.com
Strong pelvic floor muscles do not only let you walk like a queen, it just feels great to have defined abdominal muscles, to feel supple and strong... yeah, to be in control of your vaginal muscles is benefitting in soooo many ways!
Menstruation cups, sponges or FLO?
To stay with my thoughts about sustainable means to use during menstruation I would love to introduce two highly recommendable methods, the MENSTRUATION CUP and FLO.
https://www.organicup.com - I suggest the organic version of course :-)
To complete choices I want to add this sponge, I do have experienced as well working unless you are aware of your blood flow :-) I was not always as a student with the same results as leaving a tampon or bandage for way too long.... This great description here is in german: https://www.me-luna.eu/Levantiner-Schwamm-Pur-Natur
With FLO I love the whole development process described on the website besides to positive way of handling and improvement of hygienic standards: http://marikoproduct.com/Flo
I'm very interested in your experiences with alternative, sustainable methods.
FUN & HAPPINESS
Yvonne
