I to have found something I really like its called Winalite
. They are a sanitary napkin with no chemicals, synthetic materials, dyes, or perfumes. They are made of cotton and thin silk for ultimate comfort and absorption. They have some great qualities and I recommended for everyone to take a look they are a great alternative to the every day pad and tampon that cause us so many great health risks.

In addition you can use Natural Skincare – Not only do we have to protect our impact on the environment, weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve got to protect our own bodies and reduce the amount of chemicals and toxins we absorb. Skincare is so important and its a topic we think a lot about here in sunny Florida.

I RIP UP OLD CLOTHES AND USE THEM WHEN I’M ON THE RAG. THAT’S WHY THEY CALL IT ON THE RAG! I WONDER IF A CUP WOULD PUSH THE BLOOD BACK UP INSIDE ME AND GET ALL SMELLY LIKE A FISH MARKET.

I agree – I switched to the Diva Cup about 6 months ago, and it’s so much better than tampons and pads!

I LOVE my Diva cup. I’ve been using for almost 2 years now.

I’ve been using the Moon Cup [UK version of Diva Cup] for almost a year now. It’s really awesome, and I’ll never go back to anything disposable. I’m saving money, and like someone already said – you don’t have to carry tampons/pads around, which I always hated. No strings hanging out, no shifting pads, you can almost forget you’re on your period.

I use Natracare Organic cotton tampons, liners and intimate wipes. I used to use mainstream brands until I realized that they contained chemicals I would not want in my body or damaging the planet. I’ve been using Organic feminine items exclusively for about 5 years and am very happy with the results– I never feel like I am getting lesser quality in using natural brands. Being able to buy them online is also really convenient. I particularly like Natracare’s thong liners and intimate wipes.

I’ve been using my Diva Cup for 6 months now and love it. There is definitely a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s fabulous. My periods are shorter and the terrible cramping I had when using tampons is virtually nonexistent!

I got a divacup this summer – and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! It does take a little getting used to using it, but it is actually easier, less messy, and has even seemed to shorten the length of my periods. It’s also nice not to always have to carry around tampons or pads in your purse or pocket or whatever. If you’re at all curious about it, give it a try!

I’ve had a Diva Cup for almost two years now. Absolutely the best thing ever. I told everyone I knew about it when I first got it and converted two of my friends as well. They take a little getting used to, but really are the best.
