Reusable Period Products: Cups, Discs, Period Underwear & Cloth Pads | Period Besties (Period Coaching)
On the Period Besties podcast, Sasha and Katie discuss reusable period products and why they can be better for the environment, your body, and long-term cost than disposable tampons and pads. They compare experiences with period underwear, cloth pads (including bamboo cores), and menstrual cups, noting benefits like better sleep, easier laundry care, and in some cases lighter flow and less pain. They share practical tips such as using a menstrual cup in the shower while learning, using the “Put A Cup In It” quiz to find a better-fitting cup (including options designed with disability accommodations like seal-breakers), and considering menstrual discs for easier emptying while out. They also cover washing guidance, including skipping fabric softener, using vinegar to help strip detergent buildup, and maintaining absorbency.
