Everyone who can, should switch to a cup and reusable pads. I used to fill our bathroom trashcan overflowing during that time, and I don’t anymore. The cup takes a bit of a learning curve, but becomes second nature. It’s far less wasteful, more sanitary, and doesn’t contain… apparently… Arsenic or lead. Plus, unlike tampons, you can leave it in all day or night and then forget about it. I’ll never look back!!!
Sorry if it’s a stupid question, can you swim with a cup? It’s the only reason I use tampons for.
Yes you can.
Not a stupid question. You absolutely can!
Wonder what the cup contains in terms of PFAS.
but the scientists have not revealed which brands they tested, or which ones yielded the troubling results. […] Concentrations of the metals varied by country of purchase, whether a product was store-brand or name-brand, and whether the product was labelled organic or non-organic. Non-organic tampons contained higher concentrations of arsenic and lower levels of lead, while organic tampons had more lead and less arsenic.

Is this from the cotton in the tampons? I wonder if other cotton stuff has the same issue.
