Menstrual Hygiene Day: 6 Menstrual Products That Are Safe For You And The Environment
Let’s agree that in recent times, people around the world have become quite environmentally conscious. Despite big pushes toward greener living, I still think most things are wrapped in plastic these days – and our menstrual products are honestly no different. But going for eco-friendly, organic, sustainable, and biodegradable menstrual products is an option that we all women can consciously choose. And with Menstrual Hygiene Day nearing, talking about eco-friendly menstrual products is even more important.
Now, if you’re unsure where to start, I’ve rounded up 7 of the best eco-friendly menstrual products on the market:
