Conventional disposable products can contain plastics, artificial fragrances, adhesives, and chemical gels – things you don’t want next to one of the most sensitive parts of your body! Cloth menstrual pads are made up of bamboo charcoal and microfiber, which is much more comfortable than disposable pads, so you can avoid unnecessary exposure to the synthetic ingredients in disposable pads and tampons.

Many of us grow up believing that it’s a messy inconvenience or, worse, a disgusting disease-like condition. The embarrassment or shame we feel about our periods is often a result of negative cultural conditioning. Many women have experience profound positive transformations in their feelings toward their menstrual cycles after ditching the disposables!
