  • Plenty of folks are using them regularly and the project is just getting started in building awareness. I am currently making one myself. I was also given some sample filament to try out, and plan to share my experience. If anyone wants to see what people are doing with these, definitely check out the discord…

    I’m familiar with the other methods of PET recycling you’ve mentioned, and projects such as Precious Plastic’s or Brothers Make, but as you mention, while they are great methods, they are much more expensive and less accessible to everyone.




  • I talk about my cycle so much that any men I’m with are going to learn eventually. I even make my guy friends hear about it.

    I’m sure this varies with age, and some younger men may be more immature or resistant at first and I wouldn’t consider it a huge red flag unless they were stubborn about it. But I would keep an eye out for other symptoms of toxic masculinity/misogyny at play and start a conversation.

    But I’m in my 30s now and if a man is in their 30s and can’t follow conversations about menstruation, that’s a no-go for me. It would reveal a willful ignorance that I wouldn’t be able to abide.
