FLUSHAWAY PADS
Flushaway revolutionary Feminine Hygiene products are flushable PLUS offer the same characteristics and functionality as other national brands. All materials used in their construction are environmentally friendly and biodegradable except for the positioning adhesive, which is inert.
When the flushaway™ brand of sanitary Towels and Panty Liners are placed in the toilet bowl, the 'plastic-like' moisture barrier (made exclusively from unique B-9™ film) starts to break down immediately upon water contact.The product is safe for septic tanks and Porta Loo's.
Flushaway has passed the international standards test for products that wish to be marketed as “biodegradable”. The test measures the time taken for sanitary towels to degrade - the ASTM D5988-03 method. According to this standard, a product must degrade by 70% in six months. The Flushaway sample degraded by over 71% in just 70 days (about 2 months). This is well within the required parameter for the claim of “Biodegradable”.
JANE IREDALE MAKE-UP
The Jane Iredale make-up is a chemical free mineral based make-up line. The products are made up of a highly sophisticated blend of minerals and pigments which are micro-pulverized, using proprietary technology and processes to form microscopic flat crystals. These crystals overlap each other on the skin to form a filter that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants. The staying power of the minerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day. And because these silky-feeling powders are water resistant, they won't crease or smear even during the most strenuous exercise.
Known as The Skin Care Makeup, the Jane Iredale line is so safe and beneficial to use that it is recommended by Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists throughout the world
MOONCUP: MENSTRUAL CUP
The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.
The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons
The Mooncup is:
SAFER: Comfortable and Healthy to wear internally. No allergies. No interference with your natural environment. The Mooncup is FDA approved.
GREENER: No waste. No Pollution. Supports recycling and our ecology.
CHEAPER: Lasts you 10 years! Costs you less than one year's worth of disposable menstrual products.
ESTABLISHED: Used with great success in international communities since 2001.
Your Mooncup will last for several years, and you are investing in an ethical product which is concerned with your personal health and the well being of our planet. The packaging can be recycled.
