Scandinavians are serious about their green roofs. They’ve had them for a while now and it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere. They even have a competition every year to determine the best green roof project in Scandinavia by the Scandinavian Green Roof Association! But there is a reason why Scandinavians like these green roofs so much… They are not only a beautiful feature for a house, but they also offer numerous social, environmental and financial benefits. They absorb rainwater, reduce winter heating costs, reduce summer air-conditioning costs, provide insulation, and are long lasting - just to name a few.
today i learned that according to the New York Post, “Forty-two percent of women have experienced period-shaming, with one in five being made to have these feelings because of comments made by a male friend.” (x)
i cant believe this article so i clicked it and was shocked. i mean i have been period-shamed myself but i didnt think A LOT OF PEOPLE can relate to that. i am honestly mad and baffled at the same time.
more comfortable that it feels like you have no pad on
has cute patterns to make YOU feel excited with your period
display it in your bathroom and feel empowered that you’re using a chemical-free and eco-friendly period product
save the earth- disposable pads can take up to 500 years to decompose
discreet to be put in the bag or to bring to the bathroom though WHO CARES? let people see it and educate and empower other period users to switch and be open about their cycle!
before switching to reusable, ive always felt scared to talk about my period. i didnt want to tell someone i get skin rashes or major discomfort because i thought its tmi but hey, its NOT! if people can openly talk about sex, we should be able to openly talk about our cycle that involuntarily occurs monthly! share your thoughts and ask questions about your cycle! i promise you it will help your monthly period better knowing that you’re not alone in this!
Good information and boost for everyone.
Reusable period pads are the best! No rashes, so comfortable and available in so many designs! Plus you support an independent artist. Check them out!
YESS!!! this cannot be stated enough! I started to feel more comfortable within my own body once I started using reusable products for menstruation. It is a good bit of an upfront cost, but so worth it! Period underwear and pads are wonderful. Cups are great too for people who are comfortable with them :)
Talk with your fellow people with periods! We all need to work on de-stigmatizing this; men, women, nonbinary, and those who are unsure. :)
I LOVE reusable pads!! The bamboo charcoal ones are super easy to clean and super comfy <3 AND many of these pads are made by small companies! Great way to support the community!!
