Menstrual Alternatives for your Healthy body
ecomum carries a wide variety of reusable menstrual products, from the Diva tm cup to funky & functional pads in hemp, organic cotton, or patterned flannel. Some are made by work at home moms (like the ecomum) and all are excellent alternatives to disposable protection.

In her lifetime, each woman potentially throws away the equivalent of 17 shopping carts full of disposable menstrual products. Additionally, she exposes her body to chemicals which have been linked to health problems such as cancers, birth defects and immune deficiencies. Take care of your body, and this earth! Go reusable!

Reusable Cloth Pads
Before the invention of "convenience" products such as disposable menstrual pads, women used folded rags and cloths to manage their monthly flow. In consideration of problems such as chemical exposure and waste management of non-biodegradable single use products, these convenience products no longer seem so convenient. And, as with cloth diapers, cloth pads have been redesigned to make them easier to use.
