What’s the issue with landfills? Why can’t tampons just stay there? Tampons and pads actually contain chemicals such as doixin, chlorine and rayon- as they sit in landfills these chemicals seep into the ground below and are released back as groundwater or air! (This means it reenters or ecosystems- harming countless species- including ourselves!)❌ Switch to a menstrual cup to keep our environment clean!🎀♻️🌿🌊🌬 #menstrualcup #reproductivehealth #ecofriendlyliving #reducewaste #menstrualcycle #green #ecoperiod #ecofriendly #eco #sustainableliving #sustainable #gogreen💚 #reproductiverights #ecologicalfootprint #savethereef #savetheearth #savetheplanet #reduceplastic #reducewaste #reducereuserecycle #savetheturtles #takeaction #climatechange #stopclimatechange https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8MvRYhcpi/?igshid=1vesx61ritk7u

What’s the problem with using tampons- doesn’t it just go into the sewer? 🤷‍♀️ Yes! And this is a bad thing! Our sewers are not meant to handle all of this waste!🙅‍♀️ This can lead to backup in the sewer 🤢 which costs a lot of money to fix. Also a lot of excess litter makes it way back into water systems and onto our shorelines, adding pollution and harming our water supply!😟😨Switch to a menstrual cup to reduce your sanitary product waste!🎀♻️🌊🐢🦀 #menstrualcup #ecofriendlyliving #reducewaste #menstrualcycle #reproductivehealth #green #ecoperiod #ecofriendly #eco #sustainableliving #sustainability #reduceplastic #reducereuserecycle #reduceplasticwaste #savethereef #savetheplanet #savetheearth #savetheturtles #keepouroceansclean #cleanoceans #wastefree #reducewaste #tampons #pads https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8KHQfhZMA/?igshid=19nx7749dqx2e

This is great!

People who get their period do not need to be embarrassed. They do not need to be ashamed. They do not need to be sorry. 

Our bodies should not be a source of shame. Or a source of stigma. 

It’s time to end period shaming.
