Now I’m thinking twice about my silk selection. I might switch back to regular floss in a paper carton. (it’ll have to wait a year or so though because I don’t go through floss very fast). Thanks for the info.

Dental floss was one of things I wondered about. Yes silk floss is compostable, but at the same time its manufacture is cruel to the silkworms – the worm is killed to get the silk from its cocoon. So I think its out as an option. Did you end up finding any other alternatives?

I’ve also never seen an advertisement for it. Seems like quality products get around through word of mouth.

Just heard about you guys this week when my new MEC catalogue arrived in the mail.
Reading all your blogs + enjoying the tips.
I wanted to give you some feedback on the Diva cup (which is manufactured about an hour’s drive from where I live).
I did a backpacking trip last year and packed my Diva cup along just in case… by rights, I wouldn’t need it until I returned from my trek; but Mother nature decided to throw me off-kilter + I was so grateful I had the foresight to throw it in with my gear… It was convenient + comfortable even with long difficult days of scrambling up rocky climbs with a 50lb pack on.
I will never go in the wilderness without it.
