Did you know the average woman uses around 11,000 single-use period products in her lifetime? Shocking, right? Enter the game-changing world of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/sanitary-pad-sustainable-reusable-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">period alternatives<\/a>. Say hello to period cups and underwear, which are not only better for your wallet but also kinder to our planet. Let&#8217;s dive into why these reusable options are the future of menstruation care and how you can make the switch.<\/p>\n<h3>Yes, I use a period cup and I love it<\/h3>\n<p>When I mention that I use a menstrual cup, I often get looks of shock and confusion. After the initial gasp, people ask me: &#8220;But&#8230; how does it work!?&#8221; Well, these silicone reusable cups fold and open in your vagina, creating a safe space for blood to collect.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2018, I braved using a period cup for the first time \u2013 and I\u2019ve never looked back. Now it\u2019s routine. When I\u2019m on my period, I boil the cup to sterilise it, pop it in, remove it 12 hours later, and rinse and repeat. The silicone moves with your body, and you can\u2019t feel it once it&#8217;s up there. Sometimes I genuinely forget I\u2019m on my period.<\/p>\n<h3>Period cup myths debunked<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_262993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-262993\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-262993 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/period-pain-sanitary-products-900x643.png\" alt=\"period pain | sanitary products\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/period-pain-sanitary-products-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/period-pain-sanitary-products-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/period-pain-sanitary-products.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-262993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Vanessa Ramirez via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even after I expressed its convenience, people still worry about some issues, which is understandable. Let me answer some commonly asked questions and concerns\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does it smell?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Not at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s expensive!\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Let&#8217;s do the math: I bought my cup for around $50 in 2018, and I can use it for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s calculate 10 years&#8217; worth of single-use products based on my average numbers. You can calculate your costs, using the same formula, depending on your flow. My period lasts about five days, so that\u2019s four tampons a day and 20 for my entire period. A box of tampons averages about $12. That\u2019s around $1,400 for 10 years. $50 versus $1,400 for 10 years of periods is a steal.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, a cup is a great investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if it gets lost up there?<br \/>\n<\/strong>That&#8217;s physically impossible. The vaginal canal is only about three to four inches long, ending at the cervix, which acts as a barrier. The cup sits below the cervix and can be easily removed by gently pulling on the stem or base of the cup. So, rest assured, the cup can&#8217;t get lost inside you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does it leak?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Not if you insert it correctly and empty it after a maximum of 12 hours or when it\u2019s full (this depends on your flow).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I wash it?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Boil it for 15 minutes before each period. After that, you can simply wash it with a menstrual cup cleanser or a mild, unscented soap after each 12-hour usage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which cup should I get?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I bought the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegreencollective.sg\/products\/lunette-cup-model-2-large?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwouexBhAuEiwAtW_Zx600O8x9NnArjUy_hJKwPYLnp6xYkAABWxm0L1DynB3oaP3xNrKnBRoC0vYQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Lunette Menstrual cup, model 2.<\/a> This is the only one I&#8217;ve tried and tested &#8211; and I bloody love it.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, when we first start our periods, it\u2019s weird. Similarly, the first time you use a cup, it\u2019s weird. But now, my mindset has changed. I feel it&#8217;s weird that people use disposable products and leave them in public toilets, right at the perfect height for my toddler to try and grab them. (Yes this has happened before, gross!) And to whoever needs to hear this: menstrual cups are safe for virgins and teens. We need to educate, normalise and dismantle stereotypes surrounding menstruation and female sexuality.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026 if this is too intimidating for you, a second option is to invest in reusable period underpants.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the deal about period underwear?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_295617\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-295617\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-295617 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/period-underwear-900x643.png\" alt=\"period-underwear\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/period-underwear-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/period-underwear-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/period-underwear.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-295617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Bamboo Straw Girl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Period panties are designed to absorb blood and be leak-free, with the ability to be used over and over again. These amazing pants can be worn as a full replacement for pads.<\/p>\n<p>My advice? Just buy one pair. Try it when you\u2019re at home to build up your confidence. Even start at the end of your period, on those days when you\u2019re like, \u2018Am I still bleeding? This is a great way to get used to them. For all mamas-to-be, I also used these pants after birth. These are <em>so much<\/em> better than the large adult diapers they give you in the hospital. They&#8217;re a great option for teens too, as they&#8217;re comfortable and more discreet than sticking on a big white pad.<\/p>\n<p>Period underwear usually comes in black, but now companies are making fun colours, cute designs and even sports-specific ones! After you get started, these panties will eventually become part of your wardrobe and you&#8217;ll never have to worry about buying single-use products again. To wash, simply rinse them out in the shower or sink, then throw them in the washer. Let them dry naturally and keep reusing them.<\/p>\n<h3>Other reusable options to try<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cloth pads:<\/strong> Similar to period underwear, cloth pads absorb blood. However, you strap these over your usual underwear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Menstrual discs:<\/strong> This works like the period cup, but it comes in a different shape and fit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to buy them: <\/strong>Head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegreencollective.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The Green Collective<\/a> \u2013 they have a full range of eco-friendly period products which you can see in person. It&#8217;s a great way to touch and feel the products; they&#8217;re not as scary as you might think! Otherwise, shop them online at <a href=\"https:\/\/mooncheeks.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Mooncheeks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bamboostrawgirl.com\/collections\/allmatters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">AllMatters<\/a>, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>Switching to reusable period products like menstrual cups and period underwear can be a game-changer for your health and the environment. They offer comfort, cost savings, and sustainability, making periods less of a hassle and more of an empowering experience. Whether you\u2019re a newbie or a seasoned user, embracing these eco-friendly options is a step toward a greener future. So, why not take the plunge and join the reusable revolution?
