Why this petition matters

About Reusable pads: 

Reusable cloth pads are the perfect alternative to disposables, holding the same amount of blood as regular pads! Disposable sanitary pads, on the other hand, are one of the world's leading sources of plastic pollution. Most of them contain up to 90% plastic. They are bleached with chemicals that can cause infections, allergies, and rashes.

If you are tired of contributing to landfills and want to save money and have a healthier period, then a reusable pad is a great solution for you! These pads are carefully handmade with different layers to guarantee maximum absorbency, comfort, and zero leaks. They can be washed and reused for years, which is much friendlier to the environment than buying disposable pads every month.

Challenges of Menstrual Management

  • Most females (young girls and women) suffer from period poverty
  • The cost of disposable pads is expensive, most families can’t afford it
  • Cumulative waste disposed into the environment
  •  Health hazards as a result of the harmful gases released from burning the pads

 

So to support this campaign, please sign this petition and forward it to people you know so that you can spread awareness and help end period poverty.
