I stumbled across this gem on the internet, and had to share. If this image is in my head, it’s going to be in yours too. That’s fair, I think.
Ladies, have you ever been in the middle of your period, laying in a fetal position on your floor, making your cookies soggy with tears as you cry at your horrible cramps but then put aside your rage for a moment and thought “Hmm. I wish there was an eco-friendly way I could get through this time of the month.”?
I know I certainly haven’t, but to each their own, I guess (you hippie).
If you answered yes, now you’re in luck.
According to their website, the Lunette menstrual cup is a reusable menstrual protection product made in Finland. It is an easy-to-use, safe, and hygienic alternative to pads and tampons. By using the cup, you will help protect the environment, save money, and get peace of mind. Just fold, insert like a tampon and it collects blood rather than absorbs it. You empty it rather than change it — a little bit different.
They go on to pitch their product by saying that the average woman spends between $48 – 84 per year on disposable tampons and pads. The Lunette is a one-time cost that will last for years. That saves you a chunk of money!
There are five different styles to choose from. There is also a step by step instruction guide here, but you can go ahead and read that on your own.

I use a lunette cup, and it is amazing! Way easier than you might think it is, and I found that it also seems to help ease cramps! Give one a try! They are earth and body friendly.

Hello Heather – Thank you so much for spreading the word about Lunette! The best way for women to learn about healthier, better options in menstrual care is to talk about it and learn from each other. It is no longer a taboo subject. Rock on, Heather!
