Zero waste oral hygiene.
Solid toothpaste is THE product for a zero waste dental routine ! There are many choice and tasteYou can even do it yourself. Then, replace your plastic toothbrush with a toothbrush in bamboo or a toothbrush with a changeable head (in addition, some wooden toothbrushes can be composted once used).

A deodorant that is good for your body and the planet
In addition to being bad for your health, especially because of the aluminium salts, spray deodorants pollute! You can replace it with a zero waste deodorant: the bicarbonate of sodae mixed with a skin of water, deos of zero waste brands...The list is long!

Zero waste rules

A long-term investment: menstrual panties
The period panties have it all: ecological, economical in the long term and comfortable, there are only good reasons to adopt them! They will last you an average of 5 years.

In the same family, I call ... washable towels!
Like menstrual pants, washable sanitary pads are a good alternative to conventional sanitary pads.

A new ally: the menstrual cup
The menstrual UPC can be stored for up to 12 hours and holds up to 3 times the capacity of a buffer. It is a practical, ecological and economical alternative!

A little bonus to help you get through your period:
We all know about the classic hot water bottle but did you know the flax seed and/or cherry pit hot water bottle ? It is an ecological alternative because the linseed is produced in France. The hot water bottle has many other benefits: diffusion of soft heat, analgesic and comfort.
