===What to Get & Where to Get It=== | ===What to Get & Where to Get It=== | ||
In Costa Rica, you can find pads, tampons and menstrual cups. Pads are the most readily accessible, and they can be found in pharmacies and grocery stores. Regarding tampons, you can find them in Costa Rican cities. You can purchase menstrual cups from [https://www.facebook.com/Femmecupcostarica/ FemmeCup Costa Rica]. They have Femmecup (small size) in 20,000, Fleurcup (small size and large size) 18,000 (no pouch) and Naturcup (L) in 22,000. You can also buy DivaCup online from [http://www.mamaecologica.com/ Mama Ecologica] (Avenida 3 Calles 2 y 4 Santo Domingo, Heredia Province, Costa Rica). | |||
Here's what some locals sayː | |||
* Local Testimonial 1ː "You can get tampons everywhere! Drugstores, supermarkets, mini-markets, 'pulperias.' Wherever you can get groceries, you will find tampons." | |||
* Local Testimonial 2ː "Tampons you can find in every supermarket and every convenience store. In the smallest remote towns you might not be able to, because it's little known or taboo. But even in most little beach towns, for example, you can definitely find them. Also most every drug store carries them. Now we're starting to see the menstrual cup be also available, but just in the cities." | |||
