Plastic-free periods
Each of us will use more than 11,000 disposable sanitary products in our lifetime – which is a problem for the planet, especially if you’re using plastic applicators. Washing reusable pads is less yuck than it sounds, and wearing a small internal silicone cup even saves on the laundry bill. Or switch to a reusable tampon applicator, which Lil-lets says stops an average of 286 disposables per user ending up in oceans and landfill each year.
