The topic of sustainability is more important today than ever before. Many people are therefore asking themselves how they can treat our environment more sustainably in their everyday lives. In addition to reducing water and energy consumption, saving waste is particularly important here.
Unfortunately, a lot of waste is still generated around the world during menstruation, because the majority of period products - such as sanitary pads or tampons - are disposable and cannot be recycled. They therefore end up in the general waste or, even worse, in the drain or in nature. However, there are now much more sustainable alternatives.
ooia period underwear is as beautiful as your favorite underwear, but has significantly more functions. The multi-layer membrane system catches period blood - with our Strong Styles, as much as six tampons. Then you rinse the panties by hand in cold water and then wash them in the washing machine. This way you can use them again and again. Completely waste-free.
Another more sustainable alternative to disposable period products is the menstrual cup. This is a cup-shaped container for collecting menstrual blood that is inserted into the vagina. They are usually made of medical silicone and, depending on the model, can hold up to 35 ml of liquid, which can be particularly useful for heavy periods. After use, the cup is removed, emptied, cleaned (boiled) and you can use it again. This means that they generate far less waste than disposable products.
Bleeding only when you go to the toilet may sound a little strange at first. But if you listen to your body during your period, then with a little practice you can probably feel the moment when your uterus is full quite precisely.
You've probably had the feeling: "Oh, something's coming now" - then you went to the toilet and noticed that no blood had come out. This feeling is actually the moment when the uterus opens and releases blood. But the fact that nothing has flowed out of the vagina is because the blood takes a while to get from the uterine opening to the vaginal opening.
This feeling is often compared to that of a full bladder or to the inner feeling of moisture or softness. If you consciously concentrate on this feeling during your next period, you can quickly learn when it is time to go to the toilet.
As the mental connection to your inner muscles gradually becomes stronger, you may soon be able to hold your flow for a moment. Similar to holding a full bladder when there is no toilet nearby.
If you would like to learn free bleeding, period underwear can help you avoid visible leakage if you misjudge the time. In addition, training your pelvic floor muscles can be very helpful - not only for free bleeding, but also for the intensity of your orgasm during sex with or without your period.
