Welcome To Many Moons Alternatives

It's a delight to find a company that takes such great pride in their work & their products (right down to the lovely way the pillows were packaged...the pillows with a raffia bow, then wrapped in natural brown paper & secured with a sticker!)---you're few & far between these days

It's May, time to celebrate Mom! We love moms here at Many Moons Alternatives, and some of us are moms too. We know what your family matriarch wants and needs this year.......

Busy moms can catch up on their beauty sleep on our famous Ecopillows organic buckwheat hull pillows which are built to last 8 to 10 years (unlike other pillows which you'll be replacing every year or two!) They are all filled with certified organic buckwheat hulls and come in many different sizes and shapes. We even have the perfect meditation pillow for all of you yoga enthusiasts! All of our pillows come with a 6 month try-it-and-love-it guarantee, so you can buy with confidence.

Did you know, in North America we throw away over 20 billion disposable menstrual pads and tampons annually - a considerably larger volume than babies' disposable diapers! The production of disposable menstrual pads and tampons releases dioxins and other toxic chemicals into our rivers, lakes and oceans. Moms want to be eco-friendly and soooo comfortable!

Whether you use ManyMoons washable menstrual pads all the time, while at home or only at night, it will make a difference to the amount of garbage and toxins going into our environment as well as a difference to your pocketbook. Think of the savings you'll accumulate every month! Our pads will last an average of 5 years or more.

Give mom some luxury with a selection of hand crafted soaps, lotions and lip balms from Divine Goddess Naturals. Choose from invigorating Rosemary Mint Shampoo bar, soothing Calendula soap for sensitive skin, heavenly Lavender Oatmeal soap, refreshing Westcoast Forest Rain soap and yummy Spearmint Orange soap. For moms who love to garden we have the Gardener's Hand Butter and the Gardener's soap with ground pumice to really get clean! Complete her gift with a soothing handmade lip balm in either Licorice, Lemon-Lime or Rosemary Mint.

 We are excited to partner with Celebrate H.E.R. in donating washable menstrual pads and carrying bags to girls in Kajiado County, Kenya! In total we sent almost 200 pads and bags in our first shipment to those girls! We encourage you to donate to this worthwhile initiative:

Celebrate H.E.R initiative

In collaboration with Flora Terah of Terah Against Terror, starting in Kajiado County, Kenya, young girls celebrate their health, education and rights through a girl to girl leadership training program. The girls learn to sew sanitary napkins for themselves and to sell. They receive reproductive health and hygiene training, and they are educated about the negative effects and medical facts about FGM (Female Genital Mutilation). This initiative is the first of its kind that will be replicated around the country. Women and girls are working together to celebrate, not mutilate. Young girls in rural areas do not have materials or resources to manage their monthly periods. They often have to use mud or rags, and have to drop out of school at the onset of menstruation. If they can make their own sanitary napkins, better understand their bodies and their rights, they can stay in school. If they stay in school, their risk for female genital mutilation, child marriage and early pregnancy is greatly reduced. Enquiries: angadkaur@amarayogaschool.com

Blessings to all,
