This website started as a site for information on cloth menstrual pads, but its grown to include other alternatives to disposable menstrual protection.  The aim is for this website to be a large collection point for information on various menstrual product alternatives, including lists of where you can buy them, information on making your own pads, tips & help and links to other sites of interest.  Also a history section!
Cloth Pads are a reusable, washable pad that you use over and over again.  They can last around 6 years or longer, so not only save you money, but also are much better for the environment. Being fabric, they also aren't as sweaty as disposables.

A Menstrual cup is a bell shaped silicone or rubber "cup" that is used internally to collect the menstrual flow.  Unlike a tampon, these do not leave behind fibres, have never been linked to TSS, and being reusable are cost effective and eco-friendly.

Another alternative for internal menstrual protection are sponges.  These are natural sea sponges that are inserted into the vagina to absorb the blood, then rinsed out and used again.

There are a few other Reusable options if none of the others take your fancy.  Or, if you want to stick with disposable item, at least try organic cotton ones, or a disposable menstrual cup.
