Just when I was considering buying Honey Pot over Always pads. Can anyone suggest another brand of pads by a company that respects us? I'm running out of options.

FYI, Always said they were going to remove the women's symbol from their packaging, but I just stocked up on more pads a few months ago and it's still there.

Always is actually using the words women and girls when talking about periods despite the issue back in December.

I'm still going through my Always stash and was also going to replace them with Honey Pot after I run out, but now I see I may have to find other options.

I don't know if you live in the Midwest, a store called Meijer has their version of always pads. Meijer brand pads have drastically improved over the years and are a cheaper alternative to always.

Get a disc if you're feeling fancy. Merula cups still use female language.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I wasn't a fan of the Honeypot wash.

Here's a feminine wash alternative that is apparently very good.

Thanks for the cup recommendation. I've thought of switching to cups for a long time and I am probably going to make the plunge.

I LOVE Sweetspot Vanilla Blossom. It's really gentle and smells amazing. Thank you for the links.

The Lumma discs are awesome and have a ton of benefits andgood capacity. Better than the disposable versions by a longshot too. https://www.lummacups.com

I did a lot of research into this last week, and there aren't a lot of options left. Stayfree seems okay. They don't have much of a social media presence but I haven't seen anything trans related from them. U by Kotex also seems okay so far. They use the term women/girl and she/her. I haven't seen any trans posts from them. The brand L. at Target use to say "by women for women" but has recently changed, just an fyi because I was excited when i first saw their products.
