Whats wrong with disposable menstrual pads?
Disposable pads that abuse and waste our earth’s resources. Most women are unaware of the variety of chemicals (including dioxins) we are putting next to and into our bodies with the use of disposable menstruation products. Research has linked these chemicals to birth defects, reproductive disorders, infertility, depressed immunity, and cancer. As well, toxic shock syndrome continues to cause serious illness and death, and is primarily a result of tampon use. By choosing to use washable cloth menstrual pads, women can substantially reduce their exposure to these harmful toxins and enjoy better health.
