"How many reusable pads do I need to make my period completely waste-free?"
This is the question you ask me most often, so I've collected three tips to help you build your reusable pad collection!
First:
It's enough to start with 2-3 pieces!
It's very important not to try to make the full switch immediately! Give yourself time and test it out! Gradually transition to a waste-free period!
Try it, start with 1-3 pieces, observe which size works best on which day! Then, once you've taken the first steps, you can expand your collection :)
Second:
We are all different, and so are our periods!
Everyone has a different period flow, and the length of their cycle varies. These are all factors to consider! Start with a few pieces and gradually expand your collection as needed :)
Third:
Many small efforts add up!
It's better to use a few reusable pads, supplemented with disposable plastic ones, regularly, than to buy a whole set and then not use them!
For example, if you only use reusable pads at home, you've already done a lot for our Earth!
+1 tip: Always try it out at home or in an environment where you feel safe! Believe me, this will greatly contribute to the success of your first attempts :)
