Are tampons vegan, cruelty free or even safe?

Question

Hey trying to convert to plant based foods wondering if any vegans could give me any advice on an easy transition and your life style it would be much appreciated ! 
Are any of you vegan? Has it helped your period or cramps or anything involved? Are tampons and pads vegan?
Would you say it's a healthier life style? Would you suggest it to anyone thinking about eating strictly plant based foods? Are there any cons to veganism? What are the pros to veganism? Is it fulfilling all your health needs such as vitamins and proteins? Do you ever feel like your going to binge or break veganism? Do you have withdraws when you convert? Is it hard to find makeup products do you use strictly vegan makeup or just cruelty free? These are just a few of my questions for any vegans out there !

Answer

I cannot be of much help with most of your questions, but I can offer some advice. I think for the lifestyle you are trying to achieve, a reusable menstrual cup is your best option. They are very safe and also environmentally friendly as they are reusable and traditional tampons and pads are extremely wasteful and damaging to the environment and tampons can be dangerous due to the chance of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). There is a ton of information about menstrual cups all over the Internet and I'd suggest you take a look! I hope your new lifestyle suits you well!

Answer

I'm not a vegan (yet!) so I don't know a whole lot of information about 100% cruelty free items but tampons are vegan and safe in general. they're not as environmentally friendly as reusable menstrual cups due to plastic applicators but the cotton is biodegradable. 
as for makeup, it's getting much easier to find affordable, vegan, and cruelty free items. peta2.com has an extensive list of cruelty free brands. my personal favorite is e.l.f. they use 100% synthetic-fiber brushes and never use animals for testing on products. plus their products are generally always less than $10.
best of luck!

Answer

also the main cons with veganism are the lack of protein. when removing meat from your diet, you have to drastically increase your consumption of other proteins such as nuts or beans. I was a vegetarian for a long time and another thing I noticed is that when non-meat options were scarce, I would often choose sugary and otherwise unhealthy foods. my main diet, although it had no meat, was considerably less healthy. just something to watch out for! again, good luck 😊

Answer

oh god..

Answer

a menstrual cup is the best, most eco-friendly option. they're usually at drug stores but you can also order online

Answer

Thank you so much ! I just watched a video on them actually and it was so great but very sad tampons were tested on animals during the 70s-early 2000's to test toxic shock syndrome the thing was that it worked differently on animals then it did on humans but they were constantly infected and raped for inconclusive results, the end introduced the mentral cup and I was like yes ! Totally the way to go ! Do you have any menstral cup brands that work for you that you've tried? And can I get them at a local Walgreens or cvs?
