Disposable menstrual pads and tampons take up a larger volume in landfill than disposable nappies. Also, producing disposables costs many trees, and releases toxic chemicals into rivers and oceans.
By using non-disposable alternatives, we substantially reduce our exposure to harmful toxins, save trees and energy, and reduce pollution and waste.
Many of us were taught without realising it, that our bodies and their products are unclean and shameful. By taking care of ourselves in a more natural way, we start to get more in touch with our bodies and our natural cycles and functions.
So whether you use non disposables all the time, only when you are at home, or just at night, it will make a difference to our environment and your health.
