Sanitary Pads – The Woman’s Company

During menstruation, a woman can feel everything from irritation and anger to feeling more anxious or down. You cannot avoid the discomfort, mood swings and pain that accompany periods. And amidst this, using an organic pad could be a game-changer. It cannot eliminate the pain but it can certainly help reduce your discomfort, thereby helping by improving your mood.

Traditional period pads contain chemicals called dioxins created by the bleaching process that is used to make the material look white. This is a cause for concern. Exposure to these chemicals has been associated with a higher hygiene and health risk. According to the World Health Organization, dioxins can also cause hormonal issues, issues with the immune system, developmental problems and reproductive issues such as endometriosis, painful periods and even infertility.

How/why sanitary pads made up of organic cotton are safe & natural?

 • Organic Pads Are Breathable:

Unlike pads comprised of manmade fibres, cotton organic pads allow the skin to breathe while keeping you dry. The softer material also reduces the risk for allergies and skin irritation that can result from the plastic content of standard pads. It also reduces the risk of encountering bacterial and fungal infections that can be caused when airflow is limited.

 • Stay Comfortable All Day Long:

Traditional pads are made using synthetic fibres, which can result in itchiness and rashes when they come into contact with skin.  But organic pads have cotton in them instead of plastic which is why they feel light and don't cause rashes or skin irritation.

 • Why should boys have all the fun:

Women often have to be cautious of what they wear during their menstrual cycle but organic pads have got your back. Far from bulky, these soft, thin products won't show under your clothes and will barely be noticeable as you go about your busy day wearing whatever you want. Styles with wings prevent leaks that can damage your clothes. Extra-large versions are also available for effective bedtime use.

 • Environment Friendly:

According to Healthline, non-organic pads take up to 800 years to fully decompose, compared to just two years for organic cotton sanitary products. Organic pads also use significantly less water and energy for manufacturing than standard pads do, and moreover many versions are biodegradable and compostable. In the wake of the current environmental situation using non-eco-friendly period pads every month might be a deal-breaker.

 • Healthy & Affordable:

It is often brought to people's notice that the cost of organic pads is more than the cost of standard pads but actually so it happens that organic cotton is so absorbent, almost all the users of these products have observed that they use fewer products for each period. This makes organic cotton pads a cost-effective solution for your monthly routine.

We live in a time that women are more aware and care about holistic health and people take into consideration the environmental impact of various products that they use. The holistic and eco-friendly option is the organic pad - the comfort it brings does not limit to the softness from the organic cotton; but also the relief it might result for your menstrual discomfort. Well, right now I am absolutely hitched to The Woman’s Company’s products which are safe, natural and chemical-free.
