Period care doesn’t have to drain your wallet

Reusable products like menstrual cups and period underwear offer long-term savings and are sustainable options.

Menstrual cups, made of medical-grade silicone, are designed to be reused and can last 5–10 years or more with proper care.

Period underwear lasts 6 months to 2+ years, and costs around $60.

In Canada, that means saving approximately $750 over a five-year period, compared to buying pads and tampons.

Your period. Your choice. Your power. ♻️

That’s all for our series on Period Poverty! We’ll be back soon and of course this isn’t the last time we’ll chat about menstruation

Menstruation isn’t a luxury, but it’s treated like one.

When pads and tampons are out of reach, many people are left without basic dignity, facing shame, missed opportunities, and real health risks.

No one should be excluded from care because they menstruate.

Looking for a permanent birth control option? Casually called “getting your tubes tied” it’s is a surgical procedure that closes or blocks the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy permanently.

It’s a big decision but if you know you don’t want kids or you are done having kids, it’s can provide greater autonomy and peace of mind.

Did you know that breastfeeding can be a form of birth control itself? It’s called the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM), and it’s a natural option for folks but there are a few important rules. If any of these conditions don’t apply, it’s important to use a different method.

We know it can be confusing to choose and use a method. We are here to help!
