National Orgasm Day isn't just about pleasure; it's also an opportunity to discuss important aspects of reproductive health and self-care, including sustainable menstrual practices. At Saalt, we believe in noting this day by empowering individuals to make informed choices that are not only good for their bodies but also for the planet.
Understanding National Orgasm Day
National Orgasm Day, observed on July 31st, encourages people to embrace and celebrate sexual well-being and pleasure. Beyond the celebration, it serves as a reminder to prioritize holistic health, which includes identifying and understanding our bodies' needs and promoting practices that support complete well-being.
Reusable Period Care Matters
- Environmental Impact: Traditional menstrual products like pads and tampons contribute significantly to environmental pollution due to their plastic content. These products end up in landfills or oceans, taking hundreds of years to decompose. In contrast, reusable period care products like menstrual cups and leakproof underwear are made from sustainable materials like medical-grade silicone or organic cotton. They can be reused for years, drastically reducing waste.
- Economic Benefits: While the initial cost of reusable products may be higher than disposable ones, they are long-term cost-effective. Imagine not having to purchase pads or tampons every month. This not only saves money but also reduces the environmental burden of manufacturing and disposing of single-use products.
- Health Considerations: Many disposable menstrual products contain chemicals and synthetic materials that may irritate sensitive skin or disrupt the body's natural pH balance or rhythm. Reusable alternatives, made from non-toxic materials, offer a safer and more comfortable option for people.
Saalt's Commitment to Sustainability
At Saalt, we're committed to providing sustainable period care options that empower individuals to make environmentally conscious choices:
- Menstrual Cups and Discs: Saalt period cups and menstrual discs are made from medical-grade silicone and are reusable for up to 10 years with proper care. They are comfortable, leak-free, and eliminate the need for disposable products. Reusable menstrual discs can actually be worn during penetrative sex making them a great option for couples wanting a mess-free experience.
