THE BEST ALTERNATIVE IDEAS
Present day scenario, the demand of the woman traveler
is increasing day by day. One can verify in social media that the large number
of the woman traveler are there and some of woman traveler are very influential
travellers ·such as Angelina Jolie, · Marie Colvin, · Her Majesty Queen Rania
Al Abdullah, Amelia Earhart, · Jane Goodall etc. There are many young
travellers who travel throughout the years. Now one question is arising about
how one woman is managing herself during menstrual time.
I am a part time traveler and I have traveled to many
places in India. I am here sharing some important aspects with regard to the
pad and other facilities such as menstrual cups. The following facilities are
available nowadays and one can use during her menstrual time instead of using
sanitary pads such as stayfree, whisper, comfy etc. this idea not only
for the travelers but also for the women who are doing jobs and staying at home
also.
The traveler always needs the best to batter products
with friendly and eco-environment products. Best alternative product one can
comfortable use during menstrual session and travelling
1. PAD
GENERAL PAD
During the earlier period, the women were using cloth
at the time of menstrual session. Due to cloth some infection were / are
created for which the invention of pad comes. The pad is better than cloth and
it is just as useful and easy to use. Subsequently many products are generated
instead of pads. But the demand for the pad is still increasing even though
there are many other facilities that are more comfortable than pad. Nowadays
the clothes are used by very few people who do not have enough money to
purchase the pad.
2. MENSTRUAL CUP
I had used a pad before to become a traveler. But when
I become a traveler I just think about what other facilities are available on
an E-commerce site for my menstruation. I came to know many things are
available that can be used instead of pads which are very easy and
comfortable. Menstrual cups are one of them.
The Menstrual Cup is a
reusable silicone menstrual cup which collects your flow for upto 12 hours
of leak-free protection. Surprisingly, it's comfortable, easy to carry, use
anywhere, long time and easy to use. When you're ready to remove the
Menstrual Cup, pinch
the base, pull it out, and wash well with either normal water or hot water. The
menstrual cup is three types i.e.
1. Small size, 2. Medium size and 3. Large size.
benefits
The
menstrual cups are an alternative of pad or tampon for someone who wants a more
eco-friendly facility. If someone properly inserted the menstrual cup, it is
quite comfortable. The use of menstrual cups is cost effective, more suitable
than pad, more sustainable, easy to carry out and easy to use anywhere. Most
important is that it has no leakage problem and wash it with either normal
water or hot water during reuse. If someone uses an empty cup from morning to
evening and in evening after proper wash reuse it.
Where
you can get the best menstrual cup:
The
menstrual cups are available only on online shopping sites like Flipkart or
Amazon and many companies provide it.
Types of Cups are Blossom
Menstrual Cup, FemmyCycle Menstrual Cup, Intimina Ziggy Cup and Flex Menstrual
Discs. All are different shapes, different quality, different company, use also
vary from cup to cup but maximum are similar type of use.
3. REUSABLE TAMPONS
REUSABLE TAMPO
The reusable tampon is a
menstrual product which is designed to absorb blood and vaginal secretions and
it is easy to use by insertion into the vagina during menstruation. It is
placed inside of the vaginal canal like sea sponges and Menstrual Cup. Once inserted
correctly, a tampon is held in place by the vagina and expands as it soaks up
menstrual blood. Typically, reusable tampons are made of 100 percent
organic cotton, making them free from chemicals
Where
you can get.
Normally it is not available in
the open market and one can get this product from an online shopping site. It
is best for the traveller and normal woman also. It is easy to carry because it
is small in size and comfortable to use. It was packed very nicely . But
i think it was a little bit long but not too long. Tampons left overnight are a
bad and potentially infectious idea, while high-absorbency pads are considered
far safer.. The product was good and was wrapped in a plastic cover . It was
very soft and easy to use.
4. PREMIUM ULTRA SOFT SEA
PEARLS REUSABLE SEA SPONGES
REUSABLE SEA SPONGES
Another product is natural
sea sponges. Natural sea sponges come from the ocean in a natural way which
means it is free of chemicals, bleach, chlorine, fragrance, dyes, or synthetic
materials. Someone can reuse it upto 3 months to 6 months. Ultra Soft Sea
Pearls Reusable Sea Sponges are very different in color, size, shape and
texture. If you get a big size sea sponge for you, you can use it
after trimming it easily with some scissors as per your custom fit.
This
product is very eco-friendly. The use of Ultra Soft Sea Pearls Reusable Sea Sponge is cost effective, more suitable
than pad, more sustainable, easy to carry out and easy to use anywhere.
Where it is available
It is available at online
shopping sites. The cost is likely similar to a menstrual cup but the
longevity of this product is less in comparison menstrual cup. It is also
5.
TENDER PETALS
CLOTH REUSABLE INTERLABIAL PETALS
Interglacial pads are
appreciated a go among a panty liner and a tampon. They have a comparable
absorbency to disposable liners, however are worn differently. They degree five
inches long and five inches huge inside the center. It is a small, petal shaped,
pad that is worn tucked among the labia. It is simple to put on as to truly
fold the pad in half, or roll it right into a tube, separate your labia, locate
the pad among them, then allow them to maintain the pad in location. It will
take in approx. 3-5ml of fluid, so are comparable in potential to a mini pad.
They haven't any water-proof backing, and could leak as they fill up, so be
conscious that those are handiest and have very mild absorbency.
This product is similar to
the pad. Only difference is the pad is used at once and it can be reused. It is
not good for the travellers because its duration is less in comparison to menstrual cups or sea sponge.
6. Cotton Menstrual Protective Underwear
The menstrual period panty comes
with smooth and extremely breathable material. The foremost fabric of the cotton
menstrual protective underwear/ panty is
made from 95% harbal cotton and 5% spandex. Leakage-free lining-89.4%
polyester, 10.6% spandex. You can use it like as panty. Extended crotch
linings to lead them to greater shielding And the 100% top class cotton lining
on the surface can soak up a few liquid, so you do not must fear approximately
any sudden messy stains on sheets or dress and will feel peaceful when wearing
them This protective panty does now no longer suggest a alternative of sanitary
pad; it just provides extra protection. The foremost feature of the protecting
panty is to save you from leakage. These shielding briefs used collectively
with pads/cups/tampons will wrap an appropriate protection. It can hold up to half a tampon, perfect for a
yoga, barre, travel or dance class.
CONCLUSION
Many Indian women are unaware about the
alternative product of pad. They only know the one product i.e. pad. The pad
initially was better than cloth but when in comparison to other products which
are the best alternative of pad. Where have no leakage, are comfortable to use,
easy to carry out and easy to use in any situation.
Most
menstrual cups will come with information about its use and how long they can
be used. All the information is available in the packet of the product. One can
read all the information and clean. Once you start to use it, you forget to use
the pad.
