5 Reasons To Choose Reusable Cotton Pads

5 Gründe, warum du wiederverwendbare Baumwollpads wählen solltest

von Danielle van Laar in Blogbeiträge

Es gibt viele Gründe, sich für wiederverwendbare Baumwollpads zu entscheiden. Hier sind die 5 wichtigsten Gründe, warum waschbare Baumwollpads eine tolle Wahl sind ✨

♻️ 1. Besser für die Umwelt

Im Durchschnitt werfen wir jedes Jahr 1.300 Einweg-Wattepads weg. Etwas, über das wir schon seit dem 19. Jahrhundert nachdenken – und es immer noch tun.

Der Anbau von Baumwolle hat enorme Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt, besonders wenn sie nicht aus biologischem Anbau stammt. Chemikalien können Flüsse verschmutzen, die lokale Tierwelt schädigen und unsere Ökosysteme ernsthaft beeinträchtigen. Ein weiteres Problem ist die große Menge an Wasser, die für die Herstellung von herkömmlicher Baumwolle benötigt wird. Für etwa ein Kilo – also die Menge eines T-Shirts – werden mehr als 20.000 Liter Wasser verbraucht. Dieses Wasser muss natürlich irgendwoher kommen, und die Produktion kann trockene Gebiete in der Umgebung austrocknen, was zum Verlust natürlicher Lebensräume für Pflanzen, Vögel, Tiere und Fische führt.

Indem wir weniger Baumwolle verwenden und sie größtenteils durch Bambusfasern ersetzen, vermeiden und reduzieren wir die Auswirkungen von Baumwolle. Außerdem schonen wir durch die Wiederverwendung die Umwelt tausendfach über die Lebensdauer eines durchschnittlichen waschbaren Baumwollpads von etwa 3 Jahren.

🥰 2. Sie sind weich und gut für deine Haut

Wiederverwendbare Baumwollpads werden seit Jahren verkauft. Oft bestehen sie aus Baumwolle, wie die von Holland & Barret.

Unsere Binden bestehen aus einer Mischung aus Baumwolle und Bambusfasern und sind herkömmlichen Baumwollbinden in jeder Hinsicht überlegen. Bambusfasern sorgen für eine besonders weiche Oberfläche – vergleichbar mit oder sogar besser als herkömmliche Baumwollbinden. Die meisten Kundinnen sind von der Weichheit begeistert.

Außerdem sind Bambusfasern hypoallergen und antibakteriell. Sie benötigen nur wenig Wasser zum Wachsen und wachsen unglaublich schnell – bis zu 122 cm pro Tag!

💦 3. Einfach zu waschen und zu pflegen

Heutzutage liefert fast jede Marke ein Waschnetz mit. Super praktisch: Du wirfst deine benutzten Pads einfach ins Netz und wäschst sie bei 40 oder 60 Grad sauber. Bamboozy Baumwollpads können bei 60 Grad gewaschen werden.

💰 4. Spare Geld!

Nicht unwesentlich: Du sparst dabei auch noch Geld. Waschbare Baumwollpads halten bei normaler Nutzung jahrelang. Da wir Sets in verschiedenen Preisklassen anbieten, kannst du entweder Geld sparen oder dich für ein noch besseres Erlebnis mit hochwertigen Baumwollpads entscheiden. Für jeden ist etwas dabei.

👍 5. Sie sind besser

Unsere wiederverwendbaren Baumwollpads haben einen Durchmesser von 8 cm und sind damit etwas größer als herkömmliche Wattepads. So hast du mehr Fläche zum Abschminken.

Für hartnäckiges Make-up und sanftes Gesichtspeeling legen wir immer Peeling-Pads (mit dunkelbraunem oder dunkelgrauem Rand) bei, damit du für jede Situation bestens ausgestattet bist.

Die Version mit Fingermulde macht das Entfernen noch einfacher und natürlicher. Das sind Dinge, die du bei herkömmlichen Baumwollpads nicht findest.

Abschließend

Lasst uns gemeinsam diese Tradition aus dem 19. Jahrhundert hinter uns lassen, indem wir den Gebrauch von Einweg-Wattepads reduzieren oder ganz darauf verzichten.

Waschbare Baumwollpads gibt es heutzutage überall zu kaufen. Wenn du dich für Bamboozy Baumwollpads entscheidest, kannst du dir sicher sein: Sie sind 100 % nachhaltig, langlebig, plastikfrei, CO2-neutral versendet und gründlich getestet. Wir haben 6 Monate lang verschiedene Materialien und Zusammensetzungen für dich ausprobiert 🙏

can you swim with menstrual cup

Can you swim with a menstrual cup?

You can swim with a menstrual cup. In this article, you will discover what happens when you wear a period cup while swimming. Can you really swim with a menstrual cup? For people unfamiliar with a menstrual cup: A menstrual cup is a silicone cup that you can insert during your period (like a  tampon). Pads and tampons both absorb menstrual bleeding, the cup will only collect the bleeding and not absorb it. What is its purpose? You fold and insert the cup into your vagina, where the cup will unfold and create a rim that seals so that it won't leak. To clean, simply take it out, empty, wash and reuse. Yes, one can indeed swim with a menstrual cup. Your period fluid is contained within the cup and not absorbed. It will not cause the cup to absorb water or become too heavy. This will make you feel safe and at ease if you are diving, swimming, or competing in any sport underwater. Is a tampon better than a period cup? Menstrual cups are a better choice to use when that time of the month arrives because they are clean, safe, and comfortable. Menstrual cups differ from tampons as they do not absorb water. This will not cause them to become heavy or uncomfortable and will not get filled up. It is wonderful because it never lets your body take water with bacteria and chemicals from the pool or ocean. Also, the cup can stay in for 12 hours depending on your flow intensity. That's longer than a tampon. Tips to swim with a menstrual cup Make sure to insert your menstrual cup properly before getting in. It should not leak and should not be uncomfortable. Empty your menstrual cup before going swimming to prevent leak worries. Rinse your cup with clean, fresh water after a dip in the ocean or a salty pool to wash away any trace. You can even wear a dark-coloured swimsuit to hide any leaks, just in case. Worry less. It is quite simple to swim with a menstrual cup for many people. Will swimming on your period attract sharks? It is a very common myth with no supporting science. The menstrual blood does not attract sharks. Menstrual cups retain the blood, and there is less smell that can spread in the water. According to the International Shark Attack File, you can even scuba dive safely while menstruating. Can you swim with menstrual cup? Yes, indeed. It is a clean, comfortable, and safe means to enjoy your periods at the beach or pool. Menstrual cups are superior to tampons in several different aspects, such as not soaking up water, so the cup won't be heavy and soggy. This lessens the infection rate and increases the wear time to a maximum of 12 hours.

What makes organic tampons different?

When you’re in the store looking at different tampons, you might see some called “organic.” This might make you wonder what the difference is between organic tampons and regular ones. In this blog post, we will explain what organic tampons are, why they might be better for your health, and how they help the planet. We will also discuss why you might want to start using them. What makes organic tampons different? Manufacturers make organic tampons differently from regular tampons. They usually make them from 100% organic cotton. This means farmers grow the cotton without using harmful chemicals like pesticides. Regular tampons might contain chemicals because manufacturers do not always use organic cotton. No harmful chemicals: Organic tampons do not use chemicals that can irritate your skin or cause allergies. They contain no bleach, dyes, or other artificial substances that sometimes appear in regular tampons. Better for your body: Since they don’t have these harsh chemicals, organic cotton tampons can be gentler on your body. Environmentally friendly: Growing organic cotton is better for the environment. So, when you choose organic tampons, you’re choosing a product that’s better for your health and the Earth. Benefits of organic tampons Organic tampons are made from 100% organic cotton. This means they lack any harmful chemicals that people sometimes find in regular tampons. Here are some reasons why organic cotton tampons can be better for your health: Less irritation: Since organic tampons are free from chemicals and artificial materials, they are gentler on your body. No harsh chemicals: Regular tampons may have chemicals like dioxins. These can stay after manufacturers clean them with some bleach. These chemicals can be harmful. Organic tampons do not use these harsh cleaning processes, so they don’t have these chemicals. Reduced allergy risk: organic cotton tampons do not have fragrances or dyes. These can cause allergic reactions in some people. This makes organic tampons a safer choice for those concerned about allergies. Using organic tampons can be a simple way to take care of your body by avoiding unwanted chemicals. Plus, it’s a change that might make your monthly period a bit more comfortable. If you’re thinking about what’s best for your health, especially during your period, organic tampons could be a good choice to consider. Environmental impact Organic cotton tampons are not only good for your health, they are also better for our planet. Here are two main reasons why: Organic tampons use cotton grown without harmful chemicals like pesticides. When farmers use pesticides, these chemicals can get into the soil and water, hurting wildlife and the environment. Organic farming skips these chemicals, so it’s much friendlier to the earth. Growing the cotton for organic tampons helps the soil stay healthy. Healthy soil can grow more plants and absorb more water, which is good for the earth. By choosing organic tampons, you are helping to protect nature and make the earth a better place. Myths vs. Facts Myth: Organic tampons can make your period shorter. Fact: There is no proof that organic tampons change the length of your period. Your period’s duration depends on your body, not the type of tampon you use. Myth: Organic tampons don’t work as well as regular ones. Fact: Organic tampons are just as effective as regular tampons. Manufacturers design them to be absorbent and comfortable, just like any other tampon. Myth: Organic tampons are completely risk-free. Fact: While manufacturers make organic cotton tampons without harmful chemicals, users must use them correctly. You should change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours to lower the risk of toxic shock syndrome, a rare but serious illness. How to make the switch To use organic tampons, first find brands that offer 100% organic cotton (like Natracare for example). Then, try different types to see what works best for you. You can buy them in many stores or online, and if you’re unsure about a full switch, begin by using them part-time to see how they feel. Why consider menstrual cups? Menstrual cups are a great option to consider. They are reusable and flexible cups made of silicone or rubber. These cups collect menstrual blood. These cups are good for the environment because they create less waste. They save money over time, even if they cost more at first. They can last for up to 12 hours without requiring a change. Choosing organic tampons can be a smart choice for both your health and the environment. Plus, using organic products like tampons can help support healthier farming practices. Remember, it’s important to change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours to avoid health risks like toxic shock syndrome. If you’re looking for another eco-friendly option, consider trying a menstrual cup. They are reusable, cost-effective, and you can wear them for up to 12 hours.

can you pee with a menstrual cup in

Can you pee with a menstrual cup in?

Can you actually pee with a menstrual cup in? We've found the menstrual cup to be excellent for many of us, as it's just so comfortable. With that being said, if you are just starting out using the menstrual cup, or possibly even already been doing it for quite some time now, perhaps you had one question in your mind: Can you pee with a menstrual cup in? It does sound odd at first, perhaps, but once you get an understanding of how it sits in your body, you'll see how easy it is. Does it get in the way when I need to pee? You have three openings down there: one for peeing (urethra), one for your period blood (vagina), and one for your feces (anus). The menstrual cup is inserted into your vagina. Make certain you understand that the vagina is not your urethra. Your urine is coming out of your urethra, but the menstrual cup is in your vagina. As the cup is in your vagina, not your urethra, you can still pee as you would normally do with it inserted. Don't be afraid of peeing with your menstrual cup in place. It will not be in your way. Yes, you can pee with a menstrual cup in. Why is that? That's because the cup is not going to interfere with your urethra, the tiny pipe that directs pee out of your bladder out of your body. The menstrual cup is inserted in your vagina, an entirely different hole. How is it done? You have three openings in your pelvis area: the one for urine coming out, the vagina for your menstrual blood coming out and where the cup is inserted, and the anus for feces coming out. Because the menstrual cup is occupying the vaginal space, it is not obstructing or clogging the urethra. So, you can urinate as usual without any issue. But, I can feel the cup during urination? Although the cup will not interfere with your urination, some people may get the impression that it would feel odd while urinating. It can be that the cup is exerting some pressure on the adjacent areas like the bladder. In case you are having trouble peeing or it hurts, it can be an indication that the cup is in the wrong position. Remove your cup, make sure it is not overfilled, then insert it again carefully, this time having it face your tailbone. How the use of menstrual cups can impact urination When you insert the menstrual cup, it sits within your vagina, not in your pee hole. So, a menstrual cup essentially does not get in the way of peeing at all. You can just live your life, drinks water, pee as you normally would without the cup interfering in any way. But some users do report that they do feel slightly different going to the bathroom with the menstrual cup in place. Why? If the cup is not in the right position, it can be resting on the bladder. This can make it feel like you have to go, or slightly harder to go. Don’t panic—it is simple enough in most instances! If you feel uncomfortable, or it is taking a bit of an effort, or is different, in going to the loo, you might need to adjust your cup. Take it out, and reinsert it, ensuring it is not sitting on the bladder. Tip: Insert your menstrual cup in the backward direction, towards your tailbone, and not upwards. This will place the cup in the right position so that it does not exert any pressure on your bladder.  Remember, it can take two attempts before the cup is in that just-right position where it is perfectly comfortable and does not disrupt your urinating routine. So, while it should not be interfering with your flow of urine, the secret to being comfortable with it in place is making sure it is properly inserted. Frequently asked questions Why do I feel like I need to pee more often when I wear a menstrual cup? Others get the sensation that they have to urinate constantly while the menstrual cup is on. This is simply due to the cup exerting slightly on your bladder, perhaps if it is in not quite the correct position. If this is what is happening, it is possible that you just need to get the cup to fit you in slightly better for it to be comfortable. Do I have to empty my menstrual cup when I need to pee? No, you do not have to empty the cup every time you pee. That would be so annoying to do. The cup can hold menstrual blood for 12 hours, depending on your flow. Just make sure that you empty it at least twice daily for hygiene. What if I feel pain while peeing with a menstrual cup? If it hurts to urinate, the cup is probably pressing on your bladder. Remove the cup and reinsert it, but not too high or too low. It does take some practice before it is in position, but once it is in, you can't even notice it is there.  Yes, you can pee while wearing a cup, so—definitely pee with it in. Fuss-free, mess-free. Just get it in the right place, and your bladder will appreciate it. Still figuring it out? Don’t worry, as each body is different—a bit of trial is just necessary.
