Collection: menstruation
Rough estimates of tampon and pad waste is staggering. In 2018, over 5.8 billion tampons were purchased, and almost all have plastic applicators and parts. Over the course of their lifetime, a single menstruator (what a term, eh!) will use somewhere between 5 and 15 thousand pads and tampons, with the vast majority ending up in landfills as plastic waste. (National Geographic, 2021)
It's all plastic, babe. Plastic packaging, plastic applicators, plastic string content, and sometimes a plastic film layer within the product (especially with pads). Plus, the absorbent paper product stinks - it is the paper, not the fluid, that causes this. There's a general attitude that women are "unsanitary" and no one talks about this; it's meant to be a problem for the person to "solve" on their own that's gone back hundreds of years. Take back ownership of this part of your body with this change - this is revolutionary for your daily routine and body awareness once you get going with this swap.
