And this will really blow your mind: you can reuse your cup for 10 years!
Now calculate how much trash you could have saved if only you had known about this sooner...
Okay, we calculated it for you:
11.000 tampons or four Ruby Cups during your life.
Plastic waste, and in particular plastic-based marine pollution, is one of the biggest environmental issues the world is facing today.
Every tampon you every used still exists. It takes 500 years to completely break down, which makes disposable period products one of the biggest culprits.
When the UK’s Marine Conservation Society did its annual beach clean-up in 2016, it found 4.8 period products per 100 meters of shoreline.
If you make the switch today, by next years' Plastic Free July
YOU alone will have saved 200 tampons or pads and their plastic wrappings from landing in the trash!
