The Keeper is sustainable and affordable for the modern menstruating woman.

I’ve been trying to remember the exact details of how I first heard about The Keeper, I have a distinct memory of being in a women’s bathroom in the huge central library of our college campus and seeing information recommending The Keeper scratched into the door. I had just read about it in a women’s magazine and had thought it sounded like a really useful product, so I took this bathroom recommendation seriously.

I was a student at the time and could barely afford to buy tampons each month (tampons and pads are absurdly expensive as well as being environmentally damaging and not very good for your body), it was 1994 and at that time I think the price for The Keeper was around $20 so I bought a couple to try out.
