The sad reality regarding period products like disposable pads and tampons is they will outlive the person who threw them away – and their children!
These products are made of up to 90% plastic and can take 500 to 800 years to fully decompose. During this span of time, these products will sit in landfills, the sewer system, or in our oceans. But it’s not just the span of time that’s of concern, it’s also the scale.
The best ecological alternative for disposable pads are made of either organic cotton or bamboo fibre. Reusable pads can be used for an average of four years and will only take five months (for organic cotton) and one year (for bamboo) to break down and be one with nature once again.
Premium-grade reusable cups can give you up to 10 years of use. Made of medical-grade silicone, this material is not toxic to aquatic or soil organisms. One reusable period cup can take the place of up to 238 pounds of disposable pads and tampons.
Many people desire the security of reusable pads to avoid period blood stains or as backup protection to their reusable cup. The good news is, reusable pads and reusable cups can be used in tandem.
If you’re concerned about stains, an organic stain remover product can help wash them away, while also protecting the environment!
