Mooncup | Organic Tampons
Update: There is now a much larger range of organic tampons available online. Check here for where to buy organic tampons and other feminine hygiene products.
If you are looking for organic personal items like tampons then you may be disappointed with what is available. It’s not that quality is an issue but choice and availability is limited. If you look around you might be able to find these Organic Tampons which are available in selected stores in Australia. You can email them to find out where you can get them in your area.
If you don’t want organic tampons then you can try the Mooncup. The Mooncup is a menstrual cup made of silicone which has the benefit of being reusable. It costs around $50 but seeing it will last for a few years it works out cheaper in the long run. So what is it, you may ask? Well, it’s a soft rubber cup which is used like a tampon. As necessary you empty it, rinse it, and use it again. It needs to be sterilised between periods which is done in the same way you would sterilise baby equipment.
The benefits of the Mooncup are that they are made without bleaches and deodorisers which you generally find in regular tampons. Plus there are no known links to toxic shock syndrome. The other benefit is for the environment. You won’t be throwing out so much rubbish if you use this reusable product. This may not seem significant but if you consider how many tampons you use each year it can really add up.
You can purchase the Mooncup from their UK website. It costs £18.99 which includes delivery to Australia and is packaged using recycled paper. The Mooncup website has a lot of information about the product so visit the Mooncup site if you need more information.
