The problem with wood pulp in pads and panty liners
Many conventional pads and liners are made with chlorine bleached wood pulp. Chlorine bleaching produces a by-product known as dioxins. According to the EPA, dioxins are highly toxic and can cause cancer, reproductive and developmental problems, damage to the immune system, and can also interfere with hormones.
The problem with plastics in pads and liners
Most conventional pads and liners contain a large amount of plastic. These plastics will never biodegrade so they remain in landfill, rivers and oceans. They also contribute to air pollution - a high percentage of airborne chemicals that are known toxins or carcinogens originate from the production of plastic. Clinical studies also show that using period care products made from pure cotton solves skin irritation problems linked to the use of traditional plastic and cellulose pads and liners.
As you can see, organic cotton pads and panty liners are better for you and the environment.
