US EditionWhy more women are switching to reusable menstrual products
UNITED STATES, AUG 11 – Reusable menstrual products reduce waste and health risks while saving money, with users breaking even after a few months, experts say.
- Half a year ago, Selin Celikoyar decided to stop using tampons and began managing her periods with a washable menstrual disc.
- She made the change due to concerns about the environmental waste and high cost of continuously buying single-use pads and tampons.
- Menstrual products like discs, silicone cups, and special underwear designed for multiple uses can last for several years, helping to prevent billions of disposable pads and tampons from ending up in landfills each year.
- Dr. Luwam Semere noted that these products are beneficial since many individuals experience discomfort from using pads, and the National Institute of Health reports that disposable menstrual items can remain in landfills for up to 800 years before decomposing.
- The switch to reusable products implies cost savings over time and offers longer changing windows, though convenience and product choice depend on individual flow and preference.
