In April, I wrote about alternative menstrual products. From that post, I was in touch with the wonderful people at The Keeper, Inc., manufacturer (since 1987) of The Keeper reusable latex menstrual cup, and they have very generously offered to give a Keeper* to the winner of our Keeper Giveaway Contest! I am so excited to be able to give you a chance to win a menstrual cup!

So, if you would like to stop using those messy disposable menstrual products, such as tampons and pads; and if you’d like to do your part to help save the environment, please enter our contest to win a Keeper. For a graphic representation of the number of tampons and pads the average woman uses in 1 month, 1 year, 10 years, and during her menstruating lifetime, please check this out. You’ll be shocked by what you see!

So, please write and tell us WHY you want to try a Keeper; and convince us that you’re the woman who deserves to win our contest.

Submit your comment, up to 500 words, by July 31, 2009 on this post, or email me at ultimatemoneyblogATgmail.com.

We look forward to hearing from you. If the contest goes well, we may offer a giveaway every other month!

*Some women may either be allergic to latex, or might just prefer silicone. If this is the case, write and tell us why you want to win a Moon Cup, which is The Keeper, Inc.’s companion product. The Moon Cup is exactly the same as The Keeper – same size, same dimensions, etc. The only difference is the material it is made from. To learn more about both products, go to The Keeper’s website. CONTEST CLOSED.
Winners announced here.
