CW: Selfie (bad) with eye contact
One of the stim projects I've been doing has been handsewing these reusable period pads from old cotton undies (for the exterior) and ruined sweatpants (for the absorbant layers)
Stitched with thrifted/2nd hand thread & needles using overlock stitch
Rinse them well with tepid water then launder normally, stripping every several months as needed. Takes approx 1hr to make 1 pad by hand this way

I was offered #CBD by a doctor. I said it interfered with my #oestrogen and as a result gives me #menstrual #migraines (which it does).
I was too sick to even ask, think, or talk about alternatives. Other #cannabinoid fractions, etc. (Every severely ill person needs an #advocate, but that’s another story.)
If I get another chance I’m going to ask for #weed itself and become Snoop Dogg.

🤦♀️ Study finds heavy metals in tampons:
Tests on 30 products purchased in #NewYork, #Athens, and #London have found some contained dangerous levels of arsenic, chromium, and even lead. ☣️
16 metals were tested and all were detected in at least one #tampon.
Several metals were detected in all samples, including #arsenic, #cadmium, #chromium, #lead, and #vanadium.
#Organic #tampons had higher levels of arsenic, but non-organic tampons had higher levels of lead.
Writing in the journal, Environment International, researchers said: 'There is no safe exposure level to lead. “Any proportion of lead that may leach out of a tampon and reach systemic circulation might contribute to negative health outcomes.”
TOTM are probably one of the best options if you're in the UK (see https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/link/totm and check out some of the other 'Best Buys' recommended by Ethical Consumer Magazine: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/health-beauty/shopping-guide/sanitary-products).

The #TamponTax was abolished in 2021, meaning #menstrual products such as #tampons and pads now have a zero rate of VAT. However, #PeriodUnderwear - a reusable alternative - are still taxed at 20%. This contributes to the continuing problem of #period poverty in the UK by making sustainable and cost-effective menstrual products less affordable.
