Just the thought of all those parabens in ones private parts . . . For those of us with chemical sensitivity it is a nightmare just walking down the washing powder and toilet paper aisle in the supermarket because of the overpowering smell of synthetic perfumes, let alone trying to find an unperfumed product. Even supposedly unscented toilet paper is usually perfumed, along with paper towel, all types of sanitary pads (except Natracare which unfortunately has glue on the back which comes off on your underwear). One doesn't always want a tampon or substitute. On the subject of perfumes and chemicals - guys, this also affects you, as men's aftershaves and personal care products also contain many toxic and carcinogenic substances, just like women's products do.

While I have no current need of sanitary items, when I do need them again I will be trying some of these... www.outrageouscloth.com.

This is the site of the Lynda Hannah who was selling her book on natural funerals at the recent Greens AGM. You can see the home site of the mooncup here: http://www.mooncup.co.uk. The Greens Party could possibly add the mooncup to our list of environmental items that we sell for fundraising. I'm off to order mine... I was intrigued by the mooncup, and found these links:

I wish I had heard of The Keeper a few decades ago - what a nifty concept. Phil, if you can't handle it then stop peeking through the hole in the locker room wall :P Some excellent links in this thread, thanks for sharing them all.

As well as buying over the internet you can purchase them from the cosmetic section of most good chemists (they're used for make-up application aswell). Got to keep them hygenic though-soaking in tea tree oil is great.
