If you're trying to reduce the waste you produce while on your period, reusable menstrual care products are the way to go. Switching from single-use items like tampons to a menstrual cup might come to mind, and that's a fantastic option, but there are plenty of other reliable, eco-friendly products out there too.

Ahead, are eight items that'll help you make your period-care routine more sustainable. Another bonus? They'll probably save you some money in the long-run too.

Nixit Menstrual Cup

As Nixit explains, the Nixit Menstrual Cup ($42) sits above the vaginal canal and under the cervix to collect fluid during your period. Because of where it's placed in the body, it doesn't require suction to stay in place, which may be appealing to someone who has an IUD. Unlike tampons, which should only be worn for up to eight hours, this period-care product can be worn for up to 12 hours. Not a bad option for nighttime, right?
