Ditch Disposables:

Women on average will use well over 10,000 disposable sanitary products in their lifetime. All of which end up in landfill or wreaking havoc in the sea, taking several hundreds of years to decompose. They are therefore not quite as ‘disposable’ as we may initially think.

Disposable sanitary items are also usually full of nasty chemicals, including bleach (to whiten them) and even plastic, so they aren’t even great for our lady bits either.

Enter- Reusable Cloth Pads

This set of 3 reusable Eco Femme Panty Panty Liners are made from 100% organic unbleached India Cotton. They are used very similarly to a disposable panty liner, but instead of sticking to your pants, they are secured with a metal push button. With good care these Eco Femme pads will last 5-years or more, which will dramatically cut down on your waste, but also save you lots of money.

Features:

The Eco Femme panty liners are perfect for daily discharge, spotting, your light flow days, or in combination with a menstrual cup or tampon for added protection. For added protection, they are made with a PUL leakproof layer.

Each Day Pad Plus comes packaged with full instructions, and all packaging is recycled and recyclable.

Eco Femme:

Eco Femme is a women-led social enterprise founded in 2010, promoting menstrual practices that are healthy, dignified, affordable and eco-positive. Rural Indian womens collectives stitch these pads, which are then ethically traded - available to Indian women at cost price to be affordable, and sold internationally to help sustain and fund the project.

By choosing Eco Femme products, you are supporting this valuable and worthwhile project. In addition, for every pad sold, a pad is donated via the Eco Femme Pad for Pad program to a needy Indian girl who otherwise would be going without.
