FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS-APRIL

Okay, this isn't the most pleasant thing to think about, but let's face it: in an emergency situation, we do NOT want to find ourselves without our needed "supplies" and we don't want to break the bank to get a huge store of them now, either. So we've come up with an economical, space-saving and reusable alternative that works GREAT for use now or for emergency purposes.

These cups have a ten year use guarantee, but from our experience they can be used for the entire menstruating life of women.

The Diva Cup New Menstrual Solution(post-childbirth and/or over 30) or
The Diva Cup New Menstrual Solution(pre-childbirth and/or under 30) 27.00

Back in the 1930's the innovative menstrual cup was invented as a form of internal feminine protection. The DivaCup™ is a modern version of this proven concept that has been redesigned with the latest technology in moulding and materials. The DivaCup™ is an approved by the FDA (USA) and Health Canada. It is made of soft medical grade silicone, which is latex-free, 100% hypoallergenic and odorless. For over 50 years, silicone has been safely and extensively used in products for the health care industry. Since The DivaCup™ is reusable, it is very economical. As well, you can feel confident that you are doing your part in environmental conservation. Landfill and pollution problems are on the rise and continue to be a worldwide concern. In 1998, 7 billion tampons and 13 billion sanitary pads and their packaging made their way into landfills and sewage systems in the USA alone! The DivaCup™ is very sanitary, comfortable, reliable and convenient. It holds one full ounce (30 ml). Since the entire cycle is an average of 3-4 ounces (90-120 ml), most women find that the cup is not even half full after 12 hours. The vagina is continually self-cleansing, washing away dead cells and bacteria. Tampons absorb the natural fluids that we need to keep the vagina clean and moist. The DivaCup™ is non-absorbent and simply collects the menstrual flow, leaving the natural moisture level in the vagina undisturbed. Depending on your flow empty the cup 2-3 times per 24 hour day, wash and reinsert. It can be worn up to 12 hours, even overnight. The DivaCup™ is ideal for all activities including swimming, camping, backpacking, and travelling. It is suitable for all menstruating women of all ages.

The Moon Cup 30.00

The Moon Cup Menstrual Cup is made of soft, non-latex, medical grade silicone. Introduced in 2006, The Moon Cup is innovative, economical, comfortable, and environment-friendly. This soft, silicone menstrual cup collects the flow rather than absorbing it, so the vaginal tissues aren't dried out as they can be with disposable tampons. The Moon Cup holds up to an ounce of fluid and should be emptied several times a day; simply rinse and reinsert. Detailed instructions come with your order. The Moon Cup is recommended for those with latex sensitivities. The Moon Cup can last up to ten years, saving you over $800 in disposable products! Suggested Use: Size A is for after vaginal childbirth, Size B: is for women who have not delivered a baby vaginally
