The Menstrual Cup - A hygenic alternative to tampons
Advice on Buying Your Menstrual Cup
- Reusable Feminine Products Earn Good Reviews
- Let's do the math. If a woman used four tampons and four pads per day, five days a month for about 35 years. that adds up to 16,800 tampons and pads in our landfills, in our water-treatment plants and even on our beaches. That doesn't even take into account the tampon applicators, the pads' adhesive strips, pantiliners and the feminine-hygiene wipes that have hit the market recently.

What people are saying about Glad Rags Cloth Menstrual Pads
Concerned about the environment and wanting to work from home to be with her young daughter, Brenda started GladRags in 1992. Inspired by her daughter's soft cotton diapers, Brenda decided to design and market GladRags Cloth Menstrual Pads.
From the GladRags website, "Reusable pads. That's gross!" That's a comment we've heard and one we might have made ourselves before we really thought about it. But just envision your lifetime supply of used pads and tampons in landfills or washed up on a beach. Now that's gross!"

Can You Recycle Menstrual Blood
In the Compost Pile or In Your Garden
You can recycle human hair in your compost bin, it's a natural source of nitrogen. Did ya know that in some developing countries, they use human urine as a natural source of nitrogen. By the way, dog and cat feces contain pathogens so they're not recommend to be composted.
However, menstrual blood is a toss-up. Even if you could, would you? When you think about it, really, isn't throwing some other animal's poo on your garden equally offensive, but somehow it's different when we call it steer manure. What if we call it mesnes manure? Hmmm, I might be on to something there.
Here's some other thoughts across the web...
Menstrual blood is nutrient rich
Can you use menstrual blood as fertilizer?
Should You, Would You, Could You?
Yes, It's All Natural
No, That's Gross

From Folks in My Home Town
"What do you do with Doggy-Doo? Can I put corks in my compost bin? Do worms have lungs? Why is my compost full of thousands of tiny white flies?"
Vital questions such as these are the lot of a Compost Hotline Operator, as Spring Gillard knows only too well. That really is her job description, and she fields calls like this all day long.
Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator: Edible Essays on City Farming
Amazon Price: $10.45 (as of 06/03/2012)
She also meets a cast of characters curiously crazed by the gardening bug, like Ellen, who wears worm earrings and belts out the "Compost Rap" to unsuspecting participants in her vermicomposting class. Or Laurel, worm bin mural artist, West Coast Wes the Scarecrow, Scissor-happy Sally, and Mike their fearless leader, prone to tai-chi fits . . .
The Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator began in 1996 as a series of entries on the website of City Farmer, Vancouver's nonprofit urban agriculture group that has been thriving for twenty-five years. It is packed with barely credible real-life tales from the trenches of the urban horticulture avant-garde, dealing with all manner of gardening lore.
