After years of using pads and tampons, I'm happy to report that I've made the switch to something a bit more sustainable - the Flex Disc! If you've considered switching to a cup but found yourself intimidated by the process and potential suction like I was, this could be a great option for you. I get into all of the nitty gritty details inside this episode. Disclaimer: While this isn't a sponsored episode, I still believe in spreading the word about products I use and love.  Inside, I cover: - which potential toxins are hiding in your feminine care products - how much waste (physical and monetary) a woman creates throughout her menstrual lifetime - a detailed Q&A about the Flex Disc, including whether or not you can have sex with it... ... and more!
