Breaking Down the 350-Pad Waste Problem: The Environmental Impact of Periods
Each plastic sanitary pad takes up to 800 years to decompose. Here is how switching to reusable period wear can save both money and the planet.
Did you know that an average woman uses approximately 11,000 to 15,000 disposable sanitary pads in her lifetime? In India alone, over 12 billion plastic pads are thrown into municipal landfills or discarded in water bodies every year.
A single commercial pad contains the plastic equivalent of four shopping carrier bags. By switching to AFOREHEALTH reusable period panties and cloth pads, you can prevent thousands of plastic items from reaching our water systems while enjoying unmatched daily comfort.
