Menstrual Products and the Environment – A Sustainable Choice
The average woman uses over 11,000 disposable pads or tampons in her lifetime. Each of these can take 500–800 years to decompose. Now multiply that by the billions of women worldwide, and you’ll understand why menstrual waste is a global environmental concern.
But here’s the good news: we now have alternatives that are not only healthier for our bodies but also kinder to the planet.
🌹Reusable pads – washable, affordable, and durable.
🌹Menstrual cups – safe, cost-effective, and can last up to 10 years.
🌹Period underwear – innovative, comfortable, and eco-friendly.
Switching to sustainable options doesn’t have to happen overnight. But even small steps, like trying one reusable option, can make a huge difference in reducing waste and protecting our environment.
Choosing eco-friendly menstrual products is more than a personal decision, it’s a global responsibility. When you make that choice, you protect both your body and the earth.
