If you’ve always used pads or tampons, but you’re thinking of changing up your period care routine then the good news is that there are lots of new, sustainable options out there. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all of the options out there, we’ve got you. Here’s a run through of the latest sustainable options for your period at Candour Beauty - you can even combine some of them together for a truly stress-free period.
Menstrual Cups
Menstrual cups are small, flexible cups made of medical-grade silicone or latex that are inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluid. They're reusable, eco-friendly, and can last for up to 10 years with proper care. Menstrual cups are comfortable and can be worn for up to 12 hours without needing to be emptied.
The Hello Cup comes in two different sizes and is completely reusable, designed by a nurse and made from super safe, medical grade TPE that’s soft to the touch. They’re hypoallergenic, recyclable and free from silicone, rubber, latex or BPA’s, so they’re safe for your body. Cosmopolitan voted it the best menstrual cup out there.

Menstrual Discs
Menstrual discs are also inserted into the vagina but are designed to sit near the cervix, allowing them to collect menstrual fluid without causing discomfort. They're similar in shape to a diaphragm, but thinner and more flexible. Menstrual discs can be disposable, but there are reusable options available like the Hello Cup Menstrual Disc. They can be worn for up to 12 hours and just like menstrual cups they’re a total game changer when it comes to your period.
