My first step into the world of being green

A couple of months ago my friend and I were talking about alternatives to using tampons and pads. She told me about how she's been using a reusable device for years, which not only was healthier for her, but also better for the environment and a money saver.The reusable silicon cup she was referring to is the Diva Cup. A little hesitant about using it, I researched it and pondered it for a month. I decided this would be a good move because to save money. I am a full time nursing student and work part time and am not able to bring in as much money to help support my family. So I bucked up and spent the $40 at my local health store. I can honestly say it was one of the best moves I've made. 2 months later, I'm still in love and so is my wallet.

  1. I took the leap too, and am waiting on mine to come in the mail. I also ordered cloth pads for my undies from lunapads.com. My daughter uses them with the Diva cup, and is hooked. After talking to you, I decided to go for it. Can't wait to get them. Your an inspiration!!
