Want to have a plastic-free eco-friendly period? Here is the way to do so, WITH the LUNETTE menstrual cup

There was a time when the word “period” had never been spoken on U.S. television. Courtney Cox changed all that with a Tampax commercial in 1985. Fast forward to 2020, and society has moved on a long way since then. Period stigma is slowly starting to become a thing of the past, largely thanks to social media. Influencers, vloggers, and celebrities are openly sharing their period experiences—and the products they use—on platforms like Instagram and YouTube.

As people are becoming louder and prouder about their periods, there are more menstrual products on the shelves than ever before. While this is good for people, it’s not so good for the environment. Tampons and pads come wrapped in single-use plastic and some actually include plastic. The average person with a uterus will have around 480 periods between the ages of 12 and 52. That’s a lot of plastic waste.

But just like the world started to change for people with periods back in 1985, another shift is happening now, too. A number of companies are offering eco-friendly zero-waste or plastic-free period products, so people can experience their periods with ease, without having to worry about impacting the planet at the same time. Here is the way to have a plastic-free, eco-friendly period With LUNETTE Menstrual Cup

Use Lunette’s Menstrual Cup

Lunette is on a mission to change the face of period care. Founded by Heli Kurjanen, the Finnish brand is all about inclusive, education, and continuing to change the conversation around menstruation.

If you’ve tried a menstrual cup before and it hasn’t worked for you, you’re not alone. Kurjanen herself couldn’t get on with them at first — that’s why Lunette exists. The founder decided to go back to the drawing board and make a comfortable bell-shaped odorless menstrual cup that’s easy for everyone to use, regardless of age, size, or shape. The resulting design is now the most widely distributed menstrual cup in the world, recommended by 99 percent of users. To use, you simply fold and insert. That’s all there is to it.

Lunette is all about empowering people to have shame-free, comfortable periods. But it’s also about taking care of the planet, too. Each cup is registered vegan, and free of chemicals, latex, and BPA. It’s completely reusable and will last several years before you have to buy another, which is not only good for the environment but good for your wallet, too.

Lunette’s menstrual cup is available in two different sizes: the Model 1, which is for those with a light to normal flow, and the Model 2, for people with a normal to heavy flow.
