Inyani ihlolwe nguJennifer Chesak, ngoMeyi 10 2019

Ndaqala ukuya exesheni xa ndandineminyaka eli-11 ubudala. Ndina 34 ngoku. Oko kuthetha ukuba bendikhe (ndibambelele ezingqondweni ukuba ndiyeke ukubethwa ngumoya…) malunga namaxesha angama-300. Kwiminyaka engama-23 ndigazi, ndizamile kwaye ndazivavanya Okuninzi Iimveliso kunye neempawu.

Isiko lam eliqhelekileyo lokuthenga imveliso yokuya esikhathini yile:

• Fumana iicramps zokundixelela ukuba ixesha lam sele liza kuqala.
• Khawuleza uye kwigumbi lokuhlambela ukuze ubone ukuba akukho nto iseleyo ndiyisebenzisileyo
• Fumana iitampu ezimbini zemihla yokukhanya kunye nebhokisi engenanto yeelayers.
• Balekela kwindawo ekuthengiswa kuyo iziyobisi kwaye uthenge nantoni na ethengiswayo okanye nayiphi na inkqubo yemibala yebhokisi ethetha nam.
• Ndibuyele ekhaya, ndibeke ezinye iitampon kwikhabhathi yam nakwizipaji (ezilahleka enzonzobileni), kwaye isithethe siyaziphinda kwiinyanga ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu kamva.

Ngaba ucinga, “Ke? Yintoni engalunganga kuloo nto? "

Akukho nto, ngokwenene.

Kodwa kwathi qatha kum kunyaka ophelileyo ukuba ndandingazi malunga nokuba sexesheni kwam. (Uphononongo lwango-2019 lubonisa ukuba ulwazi lunokuchaphazela abantu ukuba bakhethe iimveliso ezingcono kwindalo esingqongileyo.) Kutheni le nto ndibeka ingcinga encinci kwiimveliso endinxibelelana nazo ngokusondeleyo -Kwaye yeyiphi enegalelo kunkunkuma eninzi kwihlabathi jikelele?

Impembelelo kwindalo esingqongileyo yeemveliso zokuya exesheni Umndilili wepali ongaqhelekanga uthathe iminyaka engama-500 ukuya kuma-800 ukubola. I-tampon yomqhaphu ithatha malunga neenyanga ezintandathu. Nangona kunjalo, ii-tampon brand ezingezozinto ezingaqhelekanga azinakubola: Banokusongelwa ngeplastiki okanye basebenzise isixhobo seplastiki.

Yongeza ukuba kunye neemveliso eziqikelelwa kwiibhiliyoni ezingama-45 zokuya exesheni eziphelela kudoti minyaka le, kwaye ayinakulunga.

Ke ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndicinge ngayo.

Nantsi into endiyifundileyo

Iitamponi zilawulwa lulawulo lwezoKutya kunye noLawulo lweziyobisi (i-FDA) njengesixhobo sonyango lodidi II, ngokuhambelana neekhondom kunye neelensi zonxibelelwano. Kodwa i-FDA isavumela inani elincinci le-dioxin (imveliso ye-bleaching rayon) kunye ne-glyphosate (iyeza lokubulala izitshabalalisi elisetyenziswa kwizityalo zomqhaphu).

Ngelixa kuphela kumanqanaba aphezulu apho ezi zithako zinokwenzakalisa umzimba (inani elifunyenwe kwiitampon lincinci kakhulu ayingomngcipheko), abagxeki beetampon ezingezizo ezomzimba bathatha umba kwinto yokuba ii-brand akufuneki zidwelise izithako zazo.

Izinto ekufuneka ziqwalaselwe ngaphambi kokuthenga izinto eziphilayo

• Usafuna ukutshintsha iitampon eziphilayo rhoqo kwiiyure ezisibhozo kwaye usebenzise ubungakanani obufanelekileyo bokuhamba kwakho (okt, ungasebenzisi super xa uhlala usenza njalo).
• Iitampon ze-Organic azisusi umngcipheko wesifo se-toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Ezinye iibhloko kunye neeblogi zingakhokelela ekubeni ukholelwe ukuba imichiza kunye ne-rayon ngunobangela we-TSS, kodwa ibonisa ukuba i-TSS yingxaki yebhaktiriya. Xa unxiba iitamponi zokufunxa okanye iitamponi ixesha elide kunokuba ucetyisiwe.
• Ukuba nelebheli "ye-organic" kwibhokisi yeetampon kuthetha ukuba umqhaphu kufuneka ukhuliswe, wenziwe, kwaye uphathwe ngendlela ethe ngqo, kubandakanya nokusebenzisa imbewu engeyiyo eye-GMO, ukungasebenzisi izibulali zinambuzane, nokwenza mhlophe nge peroxide hayi iklorini. Jonga iimveliso ezinesiqinisekiso seGlobal Organic Textiles esemgangathweni (GOTS).
• Ii-OB-GYN ziyavuma ukuba iitampon ezingezozinto ezikhuselekileyo zikhuselekile njengeetampon eziphilayo, ke ngoko lukhetho lomntu siqu kunolo linxulumene nempilo.

Iitamponi ezinophawu olukhulu zikhuselekile ukuba zingasetyenziswa, kodwa ukuba ingcinga yezithako ezinje nge dioxins () ikwenza ukuba ucinge kabini, hamba ngokwakho uxolo lwengqondo.

Ke, yayilixesha lokuba ndijonge kwezinye izinto eziphilayo ezinokuphinda zisetyenziselwe iitampon kunye neepads.

I-LOLA: ukukhanya, rhoqo, super, kunye super + tampons

U-LOLA wenze inkqubela phambili ekufundiseni abantu abaya exesheni malunga nokuba kutheni kufuneka sikhathalele malunga nokuhamba kwiimveliso zethu kunye nemizimba yethu (singasathethi ke ngomdlalo wabo weendaba zosasazo)

I-LOLA yinkonzo yokubhalisela ekuvumela ukuba wenze ngokwezifiso iimveliso ozifunayo kunye nokuba uzifuna kangaphi.

Umzekelo, ndinebhokisi enye yeetampu (ukukhanya ezisixhenxe, ezisixhenxe rhoqo, ezine eziphezulu) ezithunyelwa rhoqo kwiiveki ezisibhozo. Ukuhamba kwam ixesha kuyo yonke indawo, ngamanye amaxesha elo nani leetampon linokundigubungela imijikelo emithathu.

Xa ndingadingi ngaphezulu, i-LOLA yenza kube lula ukutsiba ukuthunyelwa kwam okulandelayo ngaphandle kokurhoxisa ukubhalisa kwam. Banikezela ngeemveliso zesondo, kwaye ndingacebisa kakhulu i-lube yabo.

L.: Iitamponi eziqhelekileyo kunye eziphezulu

Umhlobo wam uthenge olu phawu kuThagethi kwaye wandiboleka ezimbalwa ngexesha lam lokopha. Ndambhalela imiyalezo ngochulumanco emva kokusebenzisa itampu yam yokuqala uL, ndisithi, “Umm, sesona sithambisi sobomi bam ?!”

Ndingumntu odinga ukunxiba i-liner ngeetamponi zam kuba ixesha lam alidlali ngemithetho. Kodwa olu phawu lubonakala ngathi luyakuthintela nakuphi na ukuvuza kum. Kwakungomzuzwana we-aha. Ndinqwenela ukuba u-Oprah abekhona.

NjengoLOLA, unokuseta umrhumo kunye no-L, kodwa ziyafumaneka nakwiThagethi.

Iiplanga zeHugger Cloth Pads: ii-liners, ukukhanya, ubunzima, kunye neepads zasemva kokubeleka

Ngaphezulu kokuzama iitampon ze-organic, bendinomdla kwiipads ezinokuphinda zisebenze. Ayincedi kuphela ukuthintela izithako ezikrokrelayo kunye neekhemikhali, ikwanobuhlobo. Ndizamile iHugger Tree, kodwa iGladRags lolunye uphawu oludumileyo, olunokuthelekiswa.

Ukuvula ibhokisi ye-Tree Hugger pads kuyonwabisa. Amalaphu abawasebenzisayo athambile kwaye ayathandeka. Enye yeepads zam inee-unicorn kuyo kwaye ithi, "Fluffy pillows for your vagina." Ihleli phi iphedi yakwenza uncume?

Kwaye ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, ziyasebenza kwaye zikhululekile. Basebenzisa iqhosha lokuqhosha ukugcina indawo kwimpahla yakho yangaphantsi (nangona eyam iye yaziwa ngokuba ityibilika ijikeleze kancinci). Ndifumanise ukuba mancinci amathuba okubangela ukothuka kuneepads eziqhelekileyo. Andifumananga nawuphi na umba ngevumba.

Izithako: umqhaphu, uqalo, kunye nelinki yelinen ekhethiweyo

Ixabiso: Iidola ezingama-55 zesampulu (enye yesayizi nganye), $ 200 ye- "All You Need" kit

Iinkonzo	Bendlela
ilungele umzimba wakho, ilungele iplanethi	Iindleko zokuqala zinokungavumeleki (iphedi enye enzima eyi- $ 16.50)
ukhululekile kakhulu	ayifumaneki kwiivenkile zezitena nodaka
iza kwiindidi ezininzi zamalaphu kunye neepateni

Ungaqaphela iindleko zezi pads ziphakamileyo kancinci. Ewe, zixabiso, kodwa kufuneka ucinge ngalo njengotyalo-mali.

Ukuba udibanise yonke imali oyichithile kwiipads ezilahlwayo, ezo ndleko zingaphezulu kakhulu kwendleko zokuqala zokuthenga izinto ezinokusetyenziswa kwakhona. Ngapha koko banayo ikhalityhuleyitha yokonga ukuze uzibonele ngokwakho. Ngokusetyenziswa kwam kwepad, ndingonga i-660 yeedola ukusukela ngoku kude kuyekwe ukuya exesheni.

Iingcinga zokugqibela

Ndingumlandeli omkhulu wePads Hugger's pads evuselelekayo kwaye ndiza kuqhubeka nokuzithenga nokuzisebenzisa. Nangona zikhona izinto endizithandayo malunga neetampon zobhaliso endizifumeneyo (njengokungazithengi kwinkwenkwana eneminyaka eyi-17 ngasemva kwerejista yeWalgreens), ndicinga ukuba ndizakuphelisa ukubhaliswa kwam neLOLA kuba bengazenzi ibonakala ilungile ekuhambeni kwam.

Kodwa ndiyacebisa ukuba ujonge ezinye iindlela onokukhetha kuzo. Nokuba ufuna ukunqanda izinto ezikrokrisayo, ukuxhasa ukulima okuzinzileyo, wenze ukhetho oluhambelana nokusingqongileyo, okanye ngokulula njengombono wokuba neetamponi zithunyelwe ngqo kuwe, kunokwenzeka ukuba ibe ngumqondiso kunye nenketho ekufaneleyo.

Phuma uye exesheni ngokuqonda!
