Periods are never fun. You have to deal with bloating, cramps, and<\/em> constantly make sure that you have a pad or tampon on hand. But what if you never had to\u00a0never worry about that again?<\/p>\n

It’s hard to imagine a cycle without ’em, but several forward-thinking brands constructed products that offer the period protection you need — some are even reusable (going green on all levels!).<\/p>\n

Check out the brands below that might help you nix pads and tampons for good.<\/p>\n

Adira Intimates<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis affordable period panty ensures you’re protected from leaks no matter what day of your period you’re on. If you don’t have a normal cycle or your start date tends to jump around, these panties are perfect for making sure you’re always covered. The leak-proof layers of the underwear ensure that you’ll stay dry and also prevents front, back, and inner thigh staining (which we’re no strangers to).<\/p>\n

The DivaCup<\/strong><\/a>
\nMenstrual cups work by collecting blood during your menstrual cycle. Unlike traditional feminine products, you only need to remove and clean the cup every 10-12 hours. Store it in the drawstring cotton pouch it comes in until your next time of the month! The cups can last up to a year, so you don’t have to worry about making a midnight run to your local drugstore when your period decides to pay a surprise visit. You’ll be saving significant cash too — which is a bonus!<\/p>\n

Jade & Pearl Reusable Pads<\/strong><\/a>
\nInstead of stocking up on boxes of pads, tampons, and liners, this brand offers a reusable alternative. Not only is this good for your wallet, it’s also good for the environment! Simply wear the pad every 6-12 hours (depending on your flow), rinse, dry and reuse!<\/p>\n

Would you trade your pads or tampons for these options? Let us know in the comments below!<\/p>\n
