Importance Of Menstrual Hygiene
With the amount of knowledge and information about hygiene and healthcare out there, disregarding your menstrual healthcare needs is not an option. There are a number of products that can be used to maintain hygiene during periods such as organic sanitary pads, reusable menstrual pads, tampons and menstrual cups. Hygiene needs vary from person to person, so make sure you know your needs and use the right products.
Which sanitary pads are the best for heavy flow?
Choose a sanitary napkin brand that suits your needs. Consult a gynaecologist if needed. There are many brands of sanitary pads to choose from.

The flow and duration of periods change frequently due to age, hormonal imbalances and lifestyle changes. During menstruation, hygiene is one of the most important needs to prevent infections and diseases.
Why are organic cotton pads better?
As compared to other fabrics, organic cotton reduces the chances of fabric-related allergies or irritation. Synthetic materials create a perforated surface which helps with faster absorption but results in rashes and discomfort many times.
Synthetic pads are a necessity, but at the same time are a huge burden on the environment. Your health and hygiene should not come at the cost of the planet. Organic pads are made of 71% less water and require 62% less energy to produce. They are made of organic plant-based products such as bamboo, wood, jute pulp and banana, and don’t take 500 years to disintegrate.
Should you switch to organic pads?
The only thing stopping people from adopting organic cotton pads is their slightly higher cost and lack of education. More than 70% menstruating women in India don’t have knowledge of or access to even basic menstrual hygiene products, which makes the cost a deterrent for adoption.
Gynaecologists recommend switching to organic pads because of their many benefits. Organic cotton pads like Pee Safe 100% Organic Cotton Biodegradable Regular Sanitary Pads are chemical-free and sterile. This means that people using these organic pads don’t run the risk of severe bacterial and fungal infections.
Organic pads are plastic-free and chemical-free. Synthetic pads are often bleached in chlorine or contain dioxin, which can cause serious illnesses like cervical cancer, birth defects in children and UTIs.
