| Description | Based on the interviews with six participants who use menstrual cups as an ecological alternative to tampons and sanitary towels, the conference paper discusses the issues of how religious/ spiritual cosmologies and practices could tackle every-day life experiences and difficulties (e.g. caused by stigmatization of menstruation; conflicts with social institutions; identity crisis and frustration etc.) Additionally, conference contribution deals with the potential and limits of analytical categories ‘religious’ and ‘spiritual’ in the contemporary academic discourse too. |
