12 Organic Pads to Have an Eco-Friendly Period

A regular non-organic pad takes about 500-800 years to break down, and as plastic makes up such a large amount of these products, they will never be truly biodegradable, says research.

The plastic present in non-organic pads can also cause irritation and allergic reactions. The consequences of using such products have led many socially conscious consumers to turn to eco-friendly alternatives.

 

If you have been contemplating to make the switch to organic pads, you, my friend, have come to the right place. We bring you 11 popular options of organic pads that are natural, renewable and reasonably-priced. P.S. on their Instagram handles you will find information that will help you breeze through your periods.

The Black Friday sales are almost here, but you won't catch us shopping ? Instead, let's #TurnBlackFridayRed ? ⠀ ⠀ Homelessness is on the rise, with around 85k households in the UK living in insecure housing! ? Not only does this weekend of discounts encourage wasteful consumption, we also firmly believe your money could be put to better use! ? The whopping £7bn spent in the UK alone over the course of the next 4 days would cover 4 years worth of organic period products for everyone with periods in the UK ? and with 1 in 10 of us living in period poverty - this is a REAL game changer! ⠀ ⠀ This weekend, will you join us and @sh24_nhs in skipping the stores and donating some of your favourite period products to those in need? ?⠀ ⠀ #RedFriday #blackfriday2019 #blackfriday #cybermonday #endblackfriday #boycottblackfriday #periodpoverty #menstruationnation #plasticfreeperiods

Anything from the length of your cycle to the textures and colors you see may indicate something important about your health. You may see colors of blood ranging from black to bright red, brown to orange. Although most colors can be considered “normal” or “healthy,” others may be reason to see your doctor. Always keep a check on the colour of your blood during periods. It’s very important to have a healthy period. • • • • • • #heyday #heydaycare #personalcare #sanitarynapkins #100percentorganic #naturalsanitarypads #rashfree #naturalpersonalcare #biodegradable #yourshareofcare #ecofriendly #heydaysanitarynapkins #periodrevolution #girlgang #healthygirls #makegooddecisions #plantbasedfibres #healthychoices #periodblood #makebetterdecisions #thisworldisnotwhatyouthinkitis #thisworldexists #chooseheydaytoday #periodpoverty
