The results are in: Cephaloblog readers like reusable menstrual products because they are comfortable<\/strong> and convenient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First, thank you to everyone who entered<\/a> – I love hearing why women are interested in reusable menstrual methods and the response always impresses me. I have randomly selected five winners and emailed them asking for their mailing addresses. If you entered but did not win, I hope you consider purchasing Greenblooded<\/em> yourself<\/a> (for a mere $2, why not?!) – and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!<\/p>\n

Because you ladies ended up being so creative with your one-word answers (which I loved, really), I wasn’t able to offer a list of top 10 reasons, as planned. Instead, I broke down your answers into six basic categories: Comfort, Convenience, Cost, Empowerment, Environment, Health and then an additional Other category to cover answers that couldn’t quite be labeled.<\/p>\n

Other answers included, “Adventurousness”, “Bullshit”, “Shalom” and “Understanding”.<\/p>\n

As far as age range goes, 35 women from 14 to 33 entered this contest and gave one-word reasons for their interest in reusable methods. See results by age after the jump!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Women aged 14-19 were equally concerned about Comfort, the Environment and their Health.<\/p>\n

Women aged 20-24 were most focused on Comfort, Convenience and Empowerment, with many answers landing in Other territory.<\/p>\n

Women aged 25-29 were most interested in Convenience, with an equal focus on Health, Comfort and the Environment. Surprisingly, only one out of 35 women listed Cost as a reason for ditching the disposables.<\/p>\n

Women aged 30-33 were most concerned with Comfort.<\/p>\n

Thanks again to everyone who entered, including those whose answers I didn’t use in my very unscientific study (out of fairness to those who did follow the rules, I did not count answers that did not include their age or an age range, or those that were more than one word). As I said, I really enjoy reading women’s answers for why they want to or have switched<\/a>, because I was once a woman on the fence between disposables and reusables myself, and it’s interesting to see how many of you share the same reasons I did when making that decision! So thanks a whole bloody lot for sharing!<\/p>\n

I will be traveling next week, so there will be no post on Sunday the 31st. See you in February!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
