Page: 1  2  3   Say "Goodbye" to Pads and Tampons! By Caroline Biron Published June 06, 2007

The sea sponge
A sea sponge is another good alternative to traditional menstrual products. It’s a natural resource, renewable and biodegradable. Just insert into the vagina to absorb the flow. It lasts for about six months.

*First, cut it to a comfortable size. Then, with clean hands, insert into the vagina. If your flow is heavy, you may prefer to use a panty liner, too.

*Boiling the sponge for approximately ten minutes is recommended at the end of your cycle, in order to get rid of any bacteria.

So much more comfortable and if you think you're gonna get it and wanna be safe you can put it in and it doesn't matter or hurt (cuz a tampon really hurts if you use it when you don't need it!)! way healthier for you and your wallet!

I'm just thinking about when you use a public washroom.... it can't be as clean as using a sanitary product. I'm just thinking about when you use a public washroom.... it can't be as clean as using a sanitary product. [less]     [delete]     [flag] [reply]

A product that costs only $45.00 and can be used for up to 10 years is well worth trying. In less than the first year it has paid for itself....
