Have a look at your calendar…. will Aunt Flow be around shortly? If so, how about stocking up on some lovely pads as a present to yourself? Perhaps a festive themed one!
Found on Cloth Pad Shop – http://au.clothpadshop.com/category/31
Or these on Obsidian Star – http://www.obsidianstar.com.au/category/52
Or, if you’re planning on going away over the holidays, or don’t want to have to worry about changing pads while you’re busy with festivities, why not take this opportunity to try out a menstrual cup!
The Lunette menstrual cup is a fantastic product that allows you to catch your flow internally (like a tampon), but with a much greater capacity than tampons and without the risk of TSS or the horribly drying feeling from tampons. Being reusable, they also don’t contribute to the mountains of feminine hygiene products going into landfill. They are great for events where you’ll be out all day and don’t want to have to worry about changing pads, as for many women, a cup will be able to be worn all day without needing to be emptied. (and if you do need to empty it while out, it’s a simple case of removing it, tipping the contents into the toilet, giving it a rinse/wipe and reinserting it!)
Not to mention of course being able to be worn during swimming or hanging out at the beach!
If you are thinking of making the switch to menstrual cups, I’d recommend buying one now so you can give it a “dry run” (so to speak) before your period comes, so you’ve had time to practice and get comfortable with it. To inspire you, use the code “lunette4xmas” at checkout to receive a 15% discount on the Lunette! This offer will run until Sunday.
