The recent news reports surrounding the war on plastic is changing the way we consume and dispose of products. Images shown on wildlife programs have also highlighted the devastating effects plastic is having on sea life.
Plastic Consumption
Every year, more than 45bn feminine hygiene products are disposed of globally and in just one day, Ocean Conservancy volunteers collected nearly 30,000 used tampons and applicators on the world’s beaches (International Coastal Cleanup, 2013). This is especially worrying as this waste is now finding its way into the food chain as marine life are being found containing plastic bags, tampons, pads and panty-liners. In recent years, menstrual cups have revolutionised the way women use sanitary products and are not only good for your body, but also the planet. If you’ve not already heard of them, they’re essentially bellshaped cups that are inserted internally in the vaginal canal and collect, rather than absorb, menstrual flow. If you’ve never used a menstrual cup before, the Enna Cycle is ideal; it comes in a twin pack, complete with a storage device, which allows you to sterilise the cup and store it hygienically, and it is also available with an applicator to make insertion easier.
