Buy biodegradeable sanitary towels, tampons and wipes.
Biodegradable ones, which biodegrade in a month are available from UK Stores
Independent health stores, selected Sainsburys, Waitrose, Boots or you can buy them online. See the country locator on the product information link below.

Natracare also do incontinence pads, maternity products and baby care products.
Or use a Menstrual Mooncup, this is an alternative to tampons and sanitary towels. It a soft silicone rubber menstrual cup around two inches long, worn internally like a tampon. You sterilize it and reuse it. Much better for the environment and your health as it does not contain bleaches, deodorisers or absorbency gels. It does not interfere with your natural vaginal environment and there is no known risk of with toxic shock syndrome.
