Today, we want to talk about something many women use every month, but rarely think about — menstrual products.
Here are a few period facts you might not know:
🔸 Most disposable pads contain plastic
Up to 90% of a sanitary pad is plastic, and a single pad can take 500–800 years to decompose.
🔸 Chemical processing
Some disposable pads go through bleaching and chemical treatments during manufacturing, which may cause irritation or discomfort for some people.
🔸 Lack of breathability
The plastic layer can trap heat and moisture, creating a humid environment that may lead to discomfort during your period.
📊 Period fact:
On average, a woman uses 10,000 – 12,000 disposable pads or tampons in her lifetime.
That’s a lot of waste generated from one person alone.

🌿 Today, more women are exploring reusable alternatives, such as:
✔ Cloth pads – breathable, reusable, and gentle on the skin
✔ Menstrual cups – reusable for years and significantly reduce waste
For many people, it may feel unfamiliar at first.
But those who switch often say the same thing:
“I didn’t know periods could feel this comfortable.”
