Wow… This is what I felt yesterday seeing this on the ladies restroom of St. jeseph College, Langford road. It reminded me of boldness, of truth, of speaking up on issues that are important to us ladies even if it’s damn uncomfortable. The board talked about Menstrunal Cups(: , it shows that society here is completely cool with young ladies 18 years plus to wear menstrunal cups(:... and as a oldster looking back I was so shy when in college to ask for a sanitary pad, and now I think if I had started sustainable menstruation back then, how cool it would have been. But I am damn sure the college I was, would have never recommended young girls/ladies to wear the Menstruanal cup(conservative). It just made me realise, that it is important to be bold for the ladies always, and it was because of many strong ladies before that today women are way more empowered than before. Now, of course, talking about periods and menstruation is cool and sustainable menstruation is quite lovely, no pollution to environment and a more comfortable period in actually a economical way. I contrast this to the restroom I saw in wipro office this year, there was a sanitary pad vending mention, no mention about Menstrual cups, but a college had news about MCups. And at Gandhi’s birth aniversary, I can only say that perhapes we women must be grateful for all the empowerment we got now, and join together to make a Nation that does not accept ahimsa on women kind. Personally, now women can very much be bold, it’s ok for them to raise their voice on any crime on them, it’s ok for them to learn self defense, travel solo, live anyway she prefers. And it’s ok for all women and girls to give a go to Menstrunal cups as well, when it fits them there is more freedom on period days to be more active, without worry of staining or the burden of constant changing. Else, there are cloth pads and cloth panties as well, great period products as well, just washing requirement but its worth the efforts for not having this horrible sanitary pad nuisance. For every women, a period is such an integral part of our lives coz it is there for atleast 30 years after we come of age,like it or not, we come to terms with this and love to talk on this, coz every women deserves to be comfortable and happy and yeah also healthy. Here’s to bold women of tomorrow, please consider Menstrunal cups and adopt the philosophy of sustainable and environmentally friendly period lifestyle!!! PS: This is not my recommendation for the use of silky cup or ICARE cup that’s shown on the board picture, I heard they are not good quality cups, however, the thought of promoting MCups in a college restroom was super interesting to me, and I recommend every one to check out MCups, as an alternate period product for them without shame(: BTW, the embarassment of talking on stuff like periods is prevalent in Sounth Africa too...check out my article on that here...
