Your Plastic Period: Why It’s Time to Make the Switch
Did you know that the first disposable menstrual products ever made are still out there—sitting in landfills, floating in oceans, and breaking down into microplastics that will pollute the planet for centuries? It’s estimated that these products take 500–800 years to decompose, and even then, they don’t truly disappear. They simply break into tiny plastic particles that continue to wreak havoc on our environment.
And it’s not just the planet at risk—your health is, too.
The Hidden Dangers of Disposable Menstrual Products
Most conventional pads and tampons aren’t just made with cotton; they’re packed with synthetic materials, chemicals, and fragrances that can pose serious health risks. Many contain:
• Bleach & Dioxins – Linked to hormone disruption and reproductive issues.
• Synthetic Fragrances – A chemical cocktail of up to 3,900 undisclosed ingredients, some of which are known carcinogens, allergens, and endocrine disruptors.
• Plastic-Based Components – Trapping heat and moisture, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and yeast infections.
According to studies, exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in menstrual products has been linked to infertility, endometriosis, and even breast cancer. With young girls starting their periods as early as 8 years old, they could be exposed to these toxins for 12-18 years before even considering having children. That’s over a decade of unnecessary risk.
Are Your Period Products Causing More Harm Than Good?
• Do you struggle with painful cramps every month?
• Do you get recurring yeast infections or UTIs?
• Have you ever felt the burning irritation from plastic-based pads?
• Are you tired of dealing with ill-fitting, non-absorbent, uncomfortable products?
If any of this sounds familiar, it might be time to ditch the plastic and switch to something better for your body and the planet.
