Cloth Menstrual Pads How to Choose

What can you do immediately to take care of your body and to impact the environment positively? Think about feminine hygiene products such as disposable sanitary pads or tampons you use. They are not even conventional cotton, rather made of plastic and loaded with chemicals such as dioxin and chlorine. As you know, a substance you place on your skin can pass right through it, straight into your bloodstream.

In addition to the health impact, think about the environmental effect. The average American women uses up to 16,800 tampons in her lifetime. And that's just tampons; many women use countless sanitary pads in place of, or in addition to tampons. These disposed feminine hygiene products require hundreds of years to biodegrade, particularly if wrapped in the plastic bags provided for this purpose as part of their packaging.

What you can do is to switch to organic cloth menstrual pads. These are reusable and washable. Yes, washable, just like your undies. Remember, made of "organic cotton" is the key as conventional cotton cloth menstrual pads contain chemicals such as remaining pesticides and bleaches. Make sure to choose certified organic cloth menstrual pads.

For you to choose the right organic cloth menstrual pads, we created a guideline, "cloth menstrual pads - how to choose". Simply follow the steps below to find the right cloth menstrual pads.

Organic No Leak or Organic Breathable Pads?

First you can select from 2 types of Sckoon Organic Cotton Cloth Pads. If you have regular - heavy flow, or if you are a beginner of cloth menstrual pads, our No Leak pads are great. Because they have a built in (so it doesn't touch your skin) polyurethane sheet, they help prevent accidents. If you have sensitive skin and relatively non-heavy flow, Sckoon Breathable Cloth Menstrual Pads are great for you. They are layers of 100% organic cotton. Nothing else. Both types of pads come with a liner (2 liners with Maxi Pads) to insert in the holder's pockets.
