Q3. How do I choose the right sustainable menstrual hygiene product for me?

A3. Kudos to you for trying to make an informed decision about your period products. To choose the right and most sustainable period product for your needs, you need to look at how heavy your flow is, how much your travel, whether you can handle soaked underwear and pads or not, whether you can handle blood or not, whether you are comfortable inserting something into your vagina or not, and then research the effects of your chosen products such as whether they can cause TSH or not and so on. FInally, consult your physician about the choice you have made. Happy shopping!

Q4. How do sustainable menstrual products compare to traditional disposable products?

A4. In terms of physical health such as our hormone systems and the impact on the environment, especially when it comes to waste, sustainable period products are infinitely better than disposable ones like plastic pads and tampons.

Q5. Why should I consider switching to sustainable menstrual hygiene products?

A5. Disposable plastic pads contain chemicals which can act as endocrine disruptors and cause other health issues. Tampons if left in for too long can cause toxic shock syndrome. And such disposable and non-biodegradable products lead to tons of waste in our landfills. Sometimes animals even ingest them and die. One way to avoid these issues is to try to use sustainable period products.
