Environmentally friendly bleeding
I've never been great at math, but I recently took a few minutes to calculate how many times women who menstruate get their periods over the course of their lifetimes. The number I came up with? Over 400 times. Consider how many tampons or pads that is to cycle through every month! Most of them probably end up wrapped in toilet paper and thrown away in the trash, which means they eventually end up in landfills and sewers.
Thinx is one of the more well-known brands encouraging women to bleed more responsibly, but there are a lot of other alternatives out there. We might not be able to stop Mother Nature from doing her thing, but we can be conscious of the impact we, in turn, have on Mother Nature.Thinx confused me when it first came on the market.
The one tricky aspect is having to dump it out at the end of the day or once it's full, which is harder to do in public bathrooms and/or at work with your coworkers in the next stall. But you'll have a chance to get real familiar with your flow along with learning the exact shade of your period blood.But also, we see the hesitation if you're not comfortable with the idea of your blood pooling into a funnel that's been placed inside of you.
