Menstruation – Your Choice – Can We Make It Sustainable?

Your pads are made from plastic materials. They also contain rayon, a synthetic fiber, which involves dioxins in them. Do you know that an average woman in India uses about 10,000 sanitary pads in her lifetime? When these sanitary pads are disposed of, they take around 500-800 years to biodegrade. If they are burnt, they release toxic gases. Sanitary waste has become a big problem these days: every household generates it and there is no proper disposal method for it other than chucking it in the bin, finally hitting landfills.

Why one should opt for this product?

Women menstruate between the age of 15 to 55 years for an average of 5 days every month 12 times a year. There are approximately 350 million women in India in this age group (2017 Estimate). Assuming every woman uses on an average 3 disposable pads per day during her period, that makes 15 pads a month per woman that gets thrown out every month. Multiply that with 350 million women, that makes a whopping 63 billion pads that land up in dustbins, landfills, rivers and oceans every single year! These pads are non-degradable and pollute the land and the sea endangering life, degrading ocean water and soil quality.
