It’s much better for the environment
When you think of the plastic in tampon applicators, and both tampon and pad wrappers, there are a lot of fossil fuel emissions happening to get these products to market. Then there’s the fact that they are single-use products, so they wind up in landfills. Considering that you might use around a dozen a month, these things are filling up landfills fast. Meanwhile, menstrual cups can be used over and over again. With proper care, Kind Cup reports a cup can be used for up to 10 years! That drastically reduces waste, so you can not only feel more comfortable with a cup, but you can also feel better about your carbon footprint.
