This April, our CEO Jessica looked to simplify her period care by trying a DivaCup.
Why?
There are more than 12 billion pads and tampons used and disposed of annually
That means disrupting our ecosystem with chemicals, plastics and dyes
Our Green Act Business Member, Diva International Inc., provides the DivaCup to offer you protection for up to 12 hours at a time
Using The DivaCup can help the average menstruating person divert 250 to 300 pounds of tampons, pads and applicators over their lifetime
Let's see how she got on:
Jessica’s key takeaway:
“I REALLY like it and am determined to perfect it! I’m almost there but it likely will take a few periods to get it to perfection but all in all, a very positive experience .
It’s comfortable so it’s worth it and I really love not having to worry about changing a pad . It’s kind of like “set it and forget it” which is really nice.”
