Transition to Green: What Makes Eco-Friendly Tampons the Best Choice?

When it is that time of the month, you need to be well-prepared with an arsenal of sanitary products to combat your periods! For people who menstruate, sanitising menstrual cups and menstrual discs and stocking up on menstrual products like sanitary napkins and tampons become necessary at all times. But owing to our responsibilities towards Mother Earth, being sustainable is too essential. So, in our strive to be gentle on our planet and our body, we are focusing on the real MVPs of period products— tampons. 

Tampons, or their various versions, have been around since time immemorial! From inserting moss, small sand-filled bags and even paper— women have done it all across the globe. However, it was during the later years that the version of tampons we use today became popular.

While tampons create a substantially lesser environmental impact when compared to sanitary napkins but in the larger scheme of things, these little period tampons too, pose a threat. Just like sanitary napkins, even tampons are manufactured from a combination of synthetic materials like polyester and rayon. For easier application, several brands also use plastic applicators and let us not even get started on its individual impact! The plastic waste generated from these applicators often ends up in landfill or, worse, the ocean, which takes centuries to decompose. While easy to use and dispose of, the toll it takes on the environment cannot be ignored. 

Enter the unsung hero of making periods easy and sustainable— biodegradable or organic tampons. 

These little period buddies are made using biodegradable materials like organic cotton that is free of nasty chemicals. And the best part? These tampons are plastic applicator-free! Often, for added comfort and ease of using, several tampons have applicators made using cardboard or similar biodegradable alternatives that certainly won't outlive your great-great-grandkids! 

Now, doesn't that sound good for the environment? Don't worry, it's good for your body too! Compared to traditional tampons that have traces of questionable chemicals, eco-friendly tampons have no harmful chemicals that can pose a risk to your reproductive health.  

Now, if you exclusively use sanitary pads, tampons might feel like a big change, but remember, only with small steps can you take a giant leap! So, in a world full of sanitary products, which brand do you choose that is not only good for your body but also for the environment?
