HIDDEN FACTS OF SANITARY PADS:

​

The quality of life of women has improved considerably but it took a long time for everyone to identify the risks of using seemingly comfortable and most easily available synthetic pads. As new techniques and designs came up, they transformed into ultra-thin sanitary pads with gel core to absorb more and provide protection against leaks. While modern women want to ease that comes with the use of synthetic sanitary pads.

​

Every women should know about the health threat that they are being exposed to harmful chemicals such as DIOXIN, POLYACRYLATE SUPERABSORBENT GELS DERIVED FROM PETROLEUM WITH LEAKPROOF BARRIER MADE FROM POLYETHYLENE FILM affecting their reproductive organs, damage to the immune system and leads to cancer.

​

Unfortunately, people choose sanitary napkins based on the cost, design and packaging. But the main consideration should be menstrual hygiene.

​

Because of such a limited perspective on the 'taboo' topic of periods, we tend to forget that India has 336 million menstruating women; of them, 36% use disposable sanitary napkins. Thus, the country is left with approximately 12.3 billion disposable sanitary napkins every year, most of which are not biodegradable and end up stuffing our landfills.
