Why Should You Switch To Natural And Organic Reusable Sanitary Pads?

Comfort and menstruation are like two opposite poles that don’t go hand in hand. The monthly cycle is messy and painful for many, bringing foul smells, rashes, and hormonal changes. All the disbalance makes you grumpy with a ton of mood swings. But what makes it worse is the use of regular disposable pads which contain plastic, strong fragrances which often trigger migraines, chemical-based gel, and adhesives. A regular disposable pad takes around 800-1000 years to decompose completely, which is extremely harmful to the environment and, of course, for our health. As women are becoming aware of the consequences of these pads towards their health and nature, the environment-cautious section is facing trouble in finding sustainable alternatives.

Natural and reusable pads can help maintain better menstrual hygiene by preventing rashes and irritation. The material used in them is cotton, corn fibre, or bamboo fibre, which is soft and allows the skin to breathe and lets the trapped heat and moisture evaporate, preventing rashes, irritation, infections, and skin allergies. Along with that, these materials are cultivated naturally, are biodegradable, and decompose completely within 2 years. Hence, these cause no harm to the environment.

Another reason to consider the switch is that organically made pads help farmers who supply the raw material for their manufacture. Along with that, natural and reusable pads can be used multiple times and easily washed, which saves water and energy and is cost-effective.

One more struggle women face during menstruation is the sound created by the synthetic pads. With reusable cloth pads, you don’t have to go through this struggle as these pads are quiet and discreet and don’t make a sound while walking or changing.

So, if you’re ready to make the switch, here are some options to choose from:
