Feminine Sanitary Pads
There are way too many chemicals in the products us women use most regularly and most intimately in our lifespan. Using the healthiest products accessible to us, can have a huge impact on both our health and the health of our planet!
I highly recommend considering experimenting with & switching to :
+ reusable / washable cloth pads
+ period cups (Silicone / Natural Rubber)
+ pads / tampons with 100% Cotton (Organic & Unbleached | few good brands; Seventh Generation , Natracare, Rael)
You may find reading these articles informative & inspiring to make the switch.
