There are other feminine hygiene practices for women wanting to do their part for the environment (and are uncomfortable with cups).
1. Look for disposable products that are made out of 100% cotton which can be composted or will biodegrade in municipal landfills.
2. Do not use the toilet as a wastebasket. Never flush tampons-even if the package says they are flushable- down the toilet! They do not disperse or disintegrate in the wastewater stream.
3. Properly wrap disposable products when disposing in public restrooms to protect other restroom users and the cleaning staff who have to empty the stall waste receptacles.
4. Check out handcrafted reusable pads.
5. Look for new single-use biodegradable plastic bags with tie handle closure designed specially for the hygienic disposal of feminine care products. They are clean, easy and discreet.
