A little over a year ago, I decided to live in a more eco-friendly way. For small beginnings, I reduced my consumption of single-use plastics-- like carrying around my own set of utensils, using my personal tumbler when buying drinks, and using an eco-bag for shopping. Throughout the process, I realized that while they may feel quite inconvenient, these tiny sacrifices actually could make a difference.
Out of all my lifestyle adjustments, the greatest one is probably this: ditching disposable feminine products. In lieu of those, I have switched to using a menstrual cup. It's not an option that many are aware of, so I am sharing my story in the hopes of inspiring others to try it as well. Trust me, it's something that benefits not only the environment, but also yourself!
