In my blood magic video I touched on menstrual products, and a few people asked about alternatives to the mass produced, mass-maketed, disposable sanitary "protection". I tried to keep this video short, but failed (sorry).<br /><br />The first half of the video is kind of a rant about the political and environmental implications of sanitary products, and then, in the second part, I go through some alternatives. <br /><br />If you want to skip straight to the reviews of the products that is at 16:54 <br /><br />I made it a tag #TheBloodyWaste so that we can continue the conversation about this. Like I said in the video, I'm not expecting it to be massive, but hopefully my little pebble in the pond will ripple out to others. <br />Let me know in the comments, or via VR, your thoughts. And spread the word. (And when I say hippies on the internet, I mean me). <br /><br />Bonus little share if you make it all the way to the end ;)<br /><br />Stuff I showed...<br /><br />CSP (pantyliner and pads) - and the sponge - that I showed I bought from Rachael at Moontimes <a href="https://www.moontimes.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.moontimes.co.uk</a> and she has provided a 10% discount code for people interested in buying the products after seeing this video - CODE is MT10%OFF<br /><br />Menstrual Cup - I don't remember where I bought my moon cup (Amazon I think) but they're available pretty much everywhere now. <br /><br />Period Pants - The period pants are from thinx <a href="https://www.shethinx.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.shethinx.com</a><br />and there are now similar being made in the UK by CheekyWipes (I haven't tried those yet though) <a href="http://www.cheekywipes.com/period-pants-uk.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.cheekywipes.com/period-pants-uk.html</a><br />I also found this company making them in the UK <a href="https://wuka.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wuka.co.uk</a> I think these kind of pants are going to be HUGE (and that's not just my massive pair I showed in the video)<br /><br />Other things I mentioned...<br /><br />Molly Remer/ Red Tent resources <a href="http://www.brigidsgrove.com/red-tent-circle-rolla-mo/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.brigidsgrove.com/red-tent-circle-rolla-mo/</a><br /><br />Guardian article <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/apr/27/disposable-tampons-arent-sustainable-but-do-women-want-to-talk-about-it" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/apr/27/disposable-tampons-arent-sustainable-but-do-women-want-to-talk-about-it</a><br /><br />TheBloodyWaste Facebook group and channel (don't think they use it much) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/36730820911/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/36730820911/</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6as1ZzN0cJZX3lCXYGBWMQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6as1ZzN0cJZX3lCXYGBWMQ</a><br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />* Connect with me* <br /><br />Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JessicaTheSt.." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/JessicaTheSt..</a>. <br />Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/story_witch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/story_witch</a><br />Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/thestorywitch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://instagram.com/thestorywitch</a><br />Visit my online home: <a href="http://www.jessicamstarr.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.jessicamstarr.com</a> <br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />warmest blessings<br /><br />Jessica<br />x<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lJMZvtv50U" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lJMZvtv50U</a>
