Why should all women & Girls choose organic sanitary pads for their periods?
A woman is most vulnerable and sensitive during her periods. The excruciating period cramps and overall weakness she has to go through is topped with the constant trouble of rashes, itching and changing sanitary pads every 4-6 hours to avoid infections. The vaginal area is the most unprotected during those 3–5 days and the synthetic sanitary pads available in the market don’t help the situation either. Many women are making a wise switch to eco-friendly sanitary pads made from plant-based fibers which are not only natural pads, but they are also biodegradable.
1. Synthetic pads are harmful for our vaginas
An average woman spends roughly 6.25 years of her lifetime wearing a pad which is a very long time, if you think about it. Eight out of ten women complain of skin problems during their periods. Mostly because regular pads are made of 99% plastics, and can be a direct cause of UTIs, yeast infections, rashes, allergies, and painful periods. Studies have even found that the chemicals from synthetic pads can permeate the sensitive vaginal skin and directly enter the bloodstream to cause miscarriages, birth defects and even cervical cancer. Cotton pads are no better as 26% of the worlds’ pesticide is sprayed on cotton. The constant flow combined with the heat and friction with the synthetic top sheet of the pad makes the raw unprotected skin cause irritation, rashes, and painful periods. We are not aware of these alarming facts, and we forget to change our pads every 5 hours to allow easy air flow into the body. Organic pads not only keep you safe for those 3–5 days but they will also ensure your body does not face any uncomfortable side effects.
2. Plastic pads -A hazard to the environment and health
Natural sanitary pads are the new future and rightly so, they not only take care of the body, but they ensure that the environment does not get harmed tirelessly. Plastic is a threat to the Environment and health. Every year 9000 tons of sanitary napkin waste is disposed in landfills in Cameroon with no source of decomposition for over 500-800 years. Organic pads decompose within 12 month of disposal which is a huge relief to Mother Earth and also help in achieving UN SDG 13.
