Mooncup, the sustainable and hygienic absorbent
Made of hypoallergenic silicone, the menstrual collector makes women save on disposable pads without losing practicality and comfort
Household waste involves non-recyclable waste such as feminine tampon. Just like baby diapers, these products contain chemical elements and materials that, when amalgamated, make it difficult to recycle or simply partially reuse some of their parts, and still take hundreds of years to decompose.
However, there are alternatives to replace this product without losing aspects of hygiene and practicality. One of the most curious and efficient inventions is the Mooncup.
Made of hypoallergenic silicone, the menstrual collector, which has a cone shape, is inserted into the vagina while still folded, and then released and ready to receive the menstrual flow. After a period ranging from four to eight hours, the woman must remove the object and clean it with running water. When the menstruation cycle ends, a more specific wash is recommended.
Thus, whoever opts for Mooncup, does not spend the approximately 11,000 common sanitary pads that a woman can use throughout her life and prevents them from being incorrectly discarded, causing inconvenience in dumps and landfills. The menstrual collector, according to its manufacturers, can be used for many years.
comfort and hygiene
If inserted correctly, the Mooncup menstrual cup can be so comfortable that the wearer doesn't even feel its presence. Team members say that over time, practice is acquired and putting on and taking off the menstrual collector becomes much simpler.
The product has two models of different sizes that are indicated taking into account aspects such as age and the fact that they have already had children. Sensitive or allergic skin are also not problems for those who want to use the menstrual collector, which is measured in millimeters, which can help women who need to know the menstrual flow for medical reasons.
If you want to try the novelty, there are stores in Brazil that offer Mooncup.
