How long have you used reusable menstrual products?: Since April 2008
Reason for making the switch to reusables: Mostly for the positive environmental impact, partially for the health benefits and also for the savings...it just makes sense!

Funny anecdotes, deep thoughts, or anything else you’d like to share: I love how connected and in-tune with my body I've become since making the switch to GladRags and Moon Cup. I've become much more aware of what my body does and am comfortable with its natural rhythms and purpose, instead of feeling as though it's something "gross" or not to think or talk about.
