As per a research, a woman has to wear a tampon for almost 100,000 hours in her lifetime. Generally talking we can say seven days per month is not a big time period to get affected by the use of cotton pad brands that may or may not be hygiene friendly for women, but days on days are then a big deal of months and years for all women in their reproductive phase. The unfortunate aspect for conventional pads is that FDA does not have any recommendations or regulations to ensure hygiene of sanitary pads. This has allowed sanitary pad companies to add on unhealthy chemicals, plastic material, pesticides, chlorine, allergic adhesives or rubbers into the pads.
Which can trigger sensitivity and allergic symptoms in women with extra sensitive skin. It is therefore suggested and recommended by maximum gynecologists and sex therapists to use organic cotton pads, which comprise very less or no chemicals.
