Have you ever thought of where your “pads” go after using it. It is obvious that it is non-degradable and remains in the ground and in landfills for years. We can always avoid this by supporting the environment and at the same time providing income to local rural women. Love lady started by Claire Lin in Nepal is working with local women to produce such “eco-friendly cloth menstrual pads”.

What is a CLOTH MENSTRUAL PAD?

These are essentially washable fabric version of the current commercial disposable menstrual pad. It can be made from different fabrics such as bamboo or cotton. Such cloth pads can be used at least for 2 years and more. They are available in different varieties can be used according to your needs.

Some of the advantages of using this alternative are:

• They are more nature friendly as they can be reused for a long time and will not contribute to the landfill/ or dumping site. Once the cloth pad cannot be used it will still produce less waste as they are made out of natural materials that can be composted.
• They are cost-effective as in the long term they are less expensive in comparison to the disposable menstrual products
• This is sustainable as this can be a good source of income for the local rural women
• Avoid exposure of your most delicate parts from exposure to chemical gels and plastics
• Let your skin to breathe

Share  the common vision  for better health  of women and the earth!!!
