Off lately there has been a major shift in the women’s hygiene market across the world. The reason simply being is the components of the sanitary napkin which are hazardous not only to the environment but also to the health of women using those pads.

Beginning with the most important part of a sanitary pad is the absorbent core. This converts liquid into gel and can hold 30 times more liquid than its weight. Due to improper handling of sanitary napkins, it lands up in a water body or sewage. It can cause hazards like choking or even killing marine life and takes 400 to 800 years to decompose. Prolonged exposure to this can cause cervical cancer and chemical components of plastic can cause embryonic damage.

The white colour comes from the bleaches, this releases dioxins which are not only hazardous to health but also to the environment. These dioxins that are absorbed by the tissues present in the vagina can introduce these chemicals in our bloodstream which can cause hormonal imbalance, issues with the immune and developmental system, and reproductive issues to the extent of infertility.

The fragrances used in a sanitary pad are laced with odour neutralizers and artificial fragrances. These can cause serious allergies and irritations. These chemicals can also cause complications in reproduction to the extent of infertility.

If these are so bad, then why have we been using them for so long? The reason is so far the sanitary pad manufacturing companies never disclosed the contents used as these falls under medical products and they are exempted from the ingredient listing.

By now definitely, you have a lot of questions like then what to use? Are there any safe alternatives? Here is the solution for you!
