Disposable sanitary pads contain certain stuff that u definitely don't want near ur va**na. They cause undesirable side effects & are detrimental to ur health.
: Conventionally grown cotton is heavily sprayed with pesticides & herbicides, these chemicals can stay on the cotton long after it has been harvested. Side effects of exposure include infertility, hormonal disruption, thyroid malfunction, diabetes, endometriosis & depression.
: Apart from cotton, rayon (synthetic fibre derived from wood pulp) is also used in your sanitary pads. Rayon is cheaper than cotton, & helps to enhance the absorption capacity of pads, but also contain dioxin from the bleaching process.
: Sanitary pads often advertise themselves as 'leakproof', with an impermeable plastic layer at the bottom of pads which do not allow liquid or air to pass through. The plastic traps moisture & heat, creating an environment that promotes the growth of yeast & bacteria. It can also cause sensitive individuals to experience burning, chafing and soreness.
: Scented sanitary pads with odour neutralizers & other artificial fragrances contain a combination of unknown chemicals, which can enter the bloodstream & cause side effects. On the surface, they irritate the skin, causes allergies & reactions.
: Sanitary pads are not naturally pure white. The fibres in pads are chlorine bleached to give them their clean & sterile appearance. This bleaching process creates dioxin, a highly toxic pollutant. You may think that the levels of dioxin in sanitary pads are quite low & do not pose any danger. However, dioxin accumulates in the fat stores of the body over time, & can stay there for up to 20 years😳. Exposure to dioxin can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, hormone dysfunction, endometriosis & various forms of Cancer.
