[@ilovemypumas]

*Helpful tip especially for menstrual cup users* when you rinse the cup, use *cold water* first for removing the blood to avoid staining of the cup. Same goes for removing blood from clothes. The reason for that is that *warm or hot water* activates/ speeds up the coagulation of the proteins in the blood which makes it much harder to remove stains without using bleach .

[@meganlampa3293]

Ah, that explains it

Hannah, I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you've made this video. I have been flirting with the idea of reusable pads for a few months now, and after this video, I went straight to TheFancyPads on etsy and bought 3 to try, with a wash bag, and will see how that goes. Hoping to purchase one a month of I like them, and slowly come off disposables all together. Although period knickers are more expensive, they seem so comfy for heavy days - think a pair of those will be my next purchase! Thanks for a great video, and encouraging us to make positive changes if we're able 🙌💜

[@hellapainyo]

nosaferplace I love my cloth pads!! The couple of pairs of period panties I have are so nice for reassurance! I’ve been going on a ton of work trips lately where I’m driving for 3-9 hours to get to my conferences and they seem to be landing on my cycle and the period panties as a back up is so nice and comfy!!

[@comeseeaboutme]

as a resuable pad user i feel inclined to tell you: the soft fuzzy side is where the blood goes. So a used pad folded together should show the design or else youll cause a bit of a mess. They truly are great

Here is my experience with all three reusable products. Menstrual Cup: I love the idea of the menstrual cup. I purchased the diva cup years ago, but due to my vulvodynia, I was unable to insert it without extreme pain. When I started to get the pain under control thanks to physical therapy, I tried the softest version of the Lena cup. I was able to insert it successfully, but especially since getting the copper coil, I get really awful cramps when using a cup. Unfortunately this product has not worked out for my body. Period Underwear: I have a set of period underwear from Thinx which I absolutely love. I found that they are not absorbent enough for me to wear all day but they work super well at night. When using pads, I ALWAYS had leaks at night but I haven't had a single one since using period underwear, and they are so comfy to sleep in. Cloth Pads: I bought pads from Luna Pads and Tree Hugger Pads, but I didn't really like either of them. Luna pads are not absorbent enough for me, and the tree hugger pads caused leaks because they don't have an exposed core. So... I decided to sew my own cloth pads. This is so much more affordable! I was able to buy everything I needed for a whole set of cloth pads for about 50 dollars. I am currently still working out the kinks, but it is such a fun craft to do, and I get to pick out the fabrics and design my own shapes that work for my body. Additionally, learning to sew cloth pads has given me the confidence to start sewing clothes for myself! I hope every person can find products that make them feel comfy and confident on their period!

I started using a cup last year for environmental reasons and it has changed my life, periods are so much easier for me now! More recently I've tried Thinxx but I was not a fan

I'm a cup user as well. I'm interested in trying period underwear and was just wondering why didn't you like them?

[@quinnwilder6990]

@@becca92900 Can't imagine anyone having a problem with them as they've changed my life but everybody is different. I did get the ones with the heaviest absorbtion just for the extra peace of mind though.

[@fryingpan552]

Personally I found Thinxx worked best for me on light days or as backup in case of leaks

[@LinneaSmash]

@@becca92900 I've almost entirely switched over to THINX for my whole period after saving up for enough pairs. It takes some getting used to (you have to figure out when the best time to change pairs for you is and you need to figure out a washing schedule that works for you) but I've yet to have a single leak and I've NEVER had that peace of mind. They sell them for heavy flow days now with a higher absorbency but I wear the normal flow ones with an organic tampon on heavy days and that works well too. I plan to buy the heavy duty ones soon to cut out plastic completely but going down to like 3 tampons a period has drastically reduced my period-related waste. Every bit counts. Highly recommend giving them a try! There are a few THINX influencers who have discount codes so I'd suggest trying to find one of them.

[@sakura9400]

@@becca92900 After a couple of hours (like less than 4) they felt a little uncomfortable, and I only wore them on my lightest day. So unless you're at home and can change them easily they weren't very useful. Having spare thinxx in your bag takes up a lot more room than pads or probably reusable pads. Of course everyone has different experiences, but the cup is so ideal for me so I'm going to stick with that but have kept the thinxx for those "I might start my period today?" days

[@chloeslater7231]

Where I live there are classes teaching you how to make your own cloth pads so I am sure that online you can find out how to make them yourself if you are good with a sewing machine which would lower the costs hugely!

Info: MeLuna is a brand of menstural cup which do loads of different sizes and variations including extra small/extra large. They are also much cheaper than other brands at about £15!

[@tess6536]

I really like theirs, partially because the don't just have different sizes but different firmness!

[@ShirinRose]

I needed a small cup, and the MeLuna one I got fits perfectly. I highly recommend them!

[@Rexelrat]

I really like my MeLuna cup as well! I did get a bigger size after a few years since I've grown since getting the first one and the old one was a bit too small, and I'm really happy with the new one. I got the sports version and I like the firmer cup a lot. I love not having to use tampons anymore, a cup is so much nicer!

[@tess6536]

@@Rexelrat I had a similar experience; I had the classic for a couple of years and it was good but sometimes wouldn't unfold as it should so when I recently got a new one I could get a firmer one that was also a bit shorter because I also found out I have a low-sitting cervix . MeLuna absolutely must be the brand that has the most options, which makes sense because vaginas are really very varied! An added perk is the different colours and the microwaveable cleaning cups!

I just bought my first menstrual cup and now I'm weirdly looking forward to my next period :D

[@Imylie_]

Been using the cup since 2016 and switched to reusable pads when I got my IUD (almost 2 years ago). I gotta say that I love the cloth pads. It is so comfortable compared to disposables ones. It doesn't irritates my skin like the disposables ones do. Some of my friends finds it digusting to have to wash out blood instead of just throwing away the pads or tampons. I would take hand washing pads (I rince them at the end of the day) everytime over disposable.

[@ginaquinn2]

Excellent job Hannah. I just found out about the Diva cup about a year or so before menopause. It was life changing. It's like where was this my entire life. It really was convenient felt healthy and saved money. I highly encourage people to try it if they can. It's really not messy as one might think. I'm 56 I'd never heard of period panties except as a joke for old panties you don't mind getting stained. Seriously! I was nearly always light to mediun those would of worked great for me as well as the reusable pads. If I only knew. If only others could know so they would at least have the knowledge to make better informed choices on this Hannah you are a remarkable young woman. I learn so much from you as a sex educator. Cheers!

[@fennebastiaansen4844]

I've been using reusable cloth pads for more than a year now and I love them so much! I have never been able to get on well with tampons and I tried to use the menstrual cup so many times but had the same problems, so then I decided to try out some cloth pads and I honestly never want to go back! They feel so much nicer and softer on your body and I find they absorb wayyyyy beter than disposable pads 💜 Sometimes they do tend to move around a bit in your underwear so I usually just wear another pair to stop the pad from moving 😂 like some people do when they wear tights and that works great!

[@julianamagg3177]

I had to use a disposable pad recently because my period started suddenly and for some reason I didn't have my little period purse in my bag. I was so shocked when I had to change the disposable one because it was so much sooner than I had gotten used to with the reusable ones. If I hadn't known before I started using them ( I sell them) I would have assumed my periods had gotten lighter but it was just that the reusable pads absorb more or that the disposable make you thank you need to constantly change, I don't know. And I have a heavy flow usually.

I'm so glad there is even a conversation about sustainable period products. All I remember hearing as a young person was 'pads or tampons,' and I'm thrilled that's shifted. I haven't had periods for years, and I think a lot of this innovation and conversation has happened since I stopped menstruating, but I've learned so much that I will definitely keep in mind for when I start having periods again. Thanks, Hannah!

[@Beaverthing]

My experience with reusable pads are that they slide around A LOT. I really like the idea but it was a constant struggle to try to keep them in place. So I'd recommend just buying a single one and trying that out, before investing in a buch of them.

[@MoonlitMallows]

Loved this video and have been consistently using a moon cup for a while now. Side note, I agree with your point about how the real difference that will be made to the environment should and needs to be through governments and large corporations. However, we have a responsibility too! Every day we are supporting these large cooperations by buying and promoting their products, it's all about supply and demand. I think people almost use the fact that personal impact can't make that much difference as an excuse to do nothing at all. I also accepts that it's impossible to be perfect, I just think some people reject all responsibility.

[@nvmindem]

Thank you for the video, Hannah! I've been using a menstrual cup in combination with period underwear for more that a year and it truly changed my relationship with my period cycle and my period blood. I understand it's not for everyone but for me personally it's so comfortable and it really is money saving on the long run. I bought my cup from Organicup because I like how they make sure to be sustainable in every aspect, for example the packaging is minimal and cardboard only. For period pants I've heard that Thinx are the best and most popular, but I bought mine from Your Moon Time because they're more affordable - a set of three pairs is $30 with free shipping worldwide and you can choose from different colours. So now I use the cup most of the time, either with normal underwear or the period underwear as backup protection, but sometimes I guess my vagina gets tired of the cup so I take it out and only wear the period underwear, switching between the three pairs. It's great and it made me really passionate about the topic of sustainable period products. I might join the facebook group tbh. Also, I'll make sure to make a little donation and share your video to help #TeamTrees!

[@belle7806]

thankyou so much for this video!! i’ve been thinking about trying menstrual cups for a few months now and this has given me the push i needed to properly research them ❤️❤️

[@lauracook8040]

Been thinking about trying all of these products for a while now, think this video is a sign I try something new!!!

[@SarahJones-tn2cl]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! I’m saving up for some Thinx myself!

I’m so happy you made this video! I just switched my contraceptive so i’m expecting a return of the crimson wave, i’ll definitely do more research into reusable products.

I love how excited she is about the snaps on the pads.

Thank you for sharing and donating trees!

Larger cups are a life-changer for people with heavy flow. No more leaking or gushing onto the bed, clothes... I started with a small cup to learn to use them, but the larger holding volume is definitely life saving

[@claresmithies5027]

I'd been wondering about swapping to something more sustainable for a while now but I'm 100% going to look into all of these and find one I like!

I just bought my first cup after spending years of being terrified about it. I needed this video today!

[@Tigrez1310]

I've been using the Diva cup for more than two and a half years now and I absolutely love the simplicity of it. I can highly recommend it!

[@sash4752]

I had just been thinking about this topic! Great video, Hannah :-)

Commenting for the trees! I think you are brilliant Hannah, thank you for posting!

[@lochnessmonster6862]

Thanks for the informative video and the provided links - it's super helpful

[@EyeHeartThePanda]

I have been on the implant for 7...8 years now. And with this latest one, I have had more periods than in all the previous years. Been thinking about the cup -- ironically -- the day this went up I was researching it. So thanks for the extra info

[@lucysummer512]

Thank you! I'm already using the cup but was wondering how the pads/ underwear work. Will definitely try both some time!

[@tROCKxBitE]

Sorry if I come across as some weird random internet guy, I don't know how I stumbled onto your channel, but I thoughr I would say that you are amazing! It takes a lot of courage to share personal stuff like you do and I hope that you help others in similar situations!

[@abbygray1465]

this video is so important and i’m glad you made it!

I LOVE my menstrual cup, and have always wondered about cloth pads/panty liners since I constantly use panty liners (my uterus hates me - it's fine). I'm very glad you made this video to help get the word out that there's other options besides single-use plastic and harsh chemicals
