Every where you look people are telling you about ways to live green, lower your carbon footprint, find healthier ways to live. I am always looking for practical ways to “tread lightly”. To me, “practical” is something that can relatively easily be merged into my already chaotic life. Well the gals over at Luna Pads have done just that – they have created a product that is both practical and green. Most of us moms get monthly visits from Aunt Flo. If you use disposable pads and tampons, you are a huge contributor to our landfills. The very nature of a maxipad is that it doesn’t breakdown easily, so that it can withstand it’s purpose. But with each time you change your pad you add to the landfills. So what’s the solution – Lunapads!
I was very excited when I was asked to do this product review. I was rather blessed to not menstruate for just about 5 years, while I was pregnant and nursing my little guys (stop gasping and throwing things at the computer, I absolutely do know how lucky I was, LOL). But when it came back just about 6 months ago, it was with a vengeance. So I really was interested to see if Lunapads could stand up to this sort of “punishment”. I have got to hand it to Suzanne and Madeline, the creators of Lunapads, for coming up with a both comfortable and functional product. I received the “period panties” in a bikini cut, which were just released earlier this month. The super soft brushed cotton was very comfortable and fit great. I was pleased to see that their size chart was very accurate. I would strongl
y suggest that you watch the short video of Madeline explaining the panties and their proper use, not because it’s difficult, but precise. I will admit that I did have to come up with a bit of new routine when it was bathroom time, but it was an easy transition. I definitely plan to use the Lunapads as much as possible from now one, because in addition to saving the earth, in the long run, it is going to save me money too. Currently the panties are available in hipster, brief, bikini and thong cuts, which are all available in either black or magenta and come in sizes small to 3XL.
