What are disposable sanitary products made of? Most disposable products (tampons and pads) are made fr
om rayon. It is an artificial fibre as it is neither a truly synthetic fibre nor a natural fibre. The base for starting to manufacture rayon is the cellulose found in wood-pulp. The cellulose then goes through 16 stages, including a cocktail of chemicals to get it to the final product. These chemicals have been the basis for many debates on the health implications for sanitary products. Many women around the world have reported rashes and skin irritations reportedly due to the chemicals found in the disposable products. If you choose to use disposable tampons, please investigate what they are made of before using them inside your body. This will help you decide which brand to use. Advantages of a cloth sanitary pad
Cloth pads are environmentally friendly in both manufacture and ultimate disposal. Disposable pads take many many years to biodegrade – especially those with a plastic liner to prevent leaking, or those tied up in plastic bags before they are thrown away. They remove the risk of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) associated with tampons. Save you money in the long term. Drainage systems, pit latrines and dustbins are not filled with disposable sanitary pads. They are comfortable and soft. The perfect size can be chosen to suit individual needs (2 sizes available) which is particularly attractive to young teens who don’t need huge pads. Women with sensitive skin and allergies usually find cloth pads to be more comfortable against their skin. You don’t have to remember or budget to buy pads monthly. With careful care (gentle washing) they will last years. Things to consider
Washing reusable pads requires water. Pads are quickest dried hanging outside, which may cause embarrassment for the women. (A light cloth can be hung over the pads on the washing line to hide them as they dry.) Special care may need to be taken if the user has a Candidiasis infection (i.e. thrush /yeast infection). Once the infection is treated, the cloth menstrual pads may need to be sanitized in order to prevent reinfection. Initial cost for reusable menstrual products is typically higher per pad than for disposables, although savings over time make them more economical.
