The Hidden Impact of Disposable Feminine Hygiene Products
Did you know that nearly 20 billion sanitary napkins, tampons, and applicators are discarded into North American landfills each year? Wrapped in plastic, these products can take centuries to degrade, leaving behind a staggering environmental footprint.
Over a lifetime, the average menstruator uses over 11,000 tampons—creating waste that lasts far longer than we do. And it’s not just about waste: the carbon footprint of a year's worth of disposable feminine hygiene products is a shocking 5.3 kg CO₂ equivalents.
Despite half the world menstruating, conversations about eco-friendly menstrual products have been held back by stigma. The result? Little to no innovation in this space for over 80 years. But change is here, and it starts with you.
Why Choose Reusable Bamboo Menstrual Pads?
1. Better for Your Body (and Soul)
Conventional pads contain plastics, fragrances, adhesives, and chemical gels—things you don’t want near sensitive areas.
Our Bamboo Menstrual Pads are made from 100% soft bamboo fiber with a super-absorbent, odor-neutralizing charcoal layer, free from irritating materials.
Reusable pads promote period positivity. Menstruation is natural, not something to feel shame about. Switching to organic, reusable options can transform how you view your cycle.
2. Save Money Over Time
Each pad lasts 3–5 years, with many customers reporting even longer use (20+ years in some cases!).
The initial cost of reusable pads might seem higher, but the savings are undeniable. Over a lifetime, disposables cost over $3,000—money literally thrown in the trash.
Think of it like investing in durable plates instead of disposable ones—it’s smarter, economical, and waste-free.
3. Good for the Planet
The average menstruator uses 12,000–16,000 disposables in their lifetime. That’s a mountain of waste avoided by choosing reusable options.
Reusable pads reduce the manufacturing, shipping, and packaging impact over years—helping you minimize your environmental footprint.

Care Instructions
Wash before first use.
For stains, add a little salt to cold/warm water (avoid hot water—it sets stains).
Hand wash or machine wash. Soak pads if needed, or let them dry before your next laundry cycle.
Air dry only. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or ironing, as these reduce the pads' lifespan.
