Walmart in the U.S. and Boots and Tesco in the U.K. now stock menstrual cups and some companies report double-digit sales growth over the past 10 years.

Reusable, washable cloth pads and menstrual cups were one of the first products to be introduced as reusable solutions.

There are many different brand cups with a variety of shapes and sizes, all made of rubber or medical-grade silicone.

Menstrual cups into the vagina to “trap” rather than absorb menstrual blood is about $35, which is more expensive than tampons or pads.

However, with proper care, a menstrual cup can last up to ten years, which means a lot of money can be saved in the long run.

Menstrual sponges are made from synthetic materials, which are biodegradable and compostable.

The sponges work much like tampons, which must be removed and rinsed/cleaned every few hours.

Although sponges are cheaper than menstrual cups ( $6-$10/pc) but usually need to replace after six months.

Reusable, absorbent period panties are the latest entry into the menstrual product market.

Perhaps the most popular brand is THINX, which was advertised for the New York City subway a few years ago.

Waterproof period underwear (or menstrual panties) with cotton absorbent cores and waterproof materials.

Allow women to wick cotton plugs or leave pads on during light to moderate periods, or use them as a backup method.

Like reusable menstrual cups, these undergarments have a high initial cost ( from $24 to $39, depending on the style).

Gohedy also offers period underwear and menstrual cups, reusable pads. Visit: www.gohedy.com
