Environmental Impact
Massive Waste Production
Traditional menstrual products, including tampons and pads, contribute significantly to environmental pollution. Annually, an estimated 45 billion menstrual products are discarded globally, leading to 12 million tons of waste.
Non-biodegradable Materials
These products are made from materials that can take 500-800 years to decompose, which highlights the urgent need for sustainable alternatives like period panties and menstrual cups.
Health Concerns
Presence of Hazardous Chemicals
Research has revealed that many conventional menstrual products contain phthalates, parabens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are associated with hormonal disruptions, reproductive harm, and allergic reactions.
Increased Risk of Allergic Reactions
The presence of these chemicals can exacerbate allergic reactions and irritations, particularly in women with sensitive skin or pre-existing conditions.
Cultural and Social Impact
Cultural Sensitivity
Period panties are particularly beneficial for communities that prioritize modesty. They offer a discreet, reusable solution that aligns with cultural values while providing effective menstrual care.
Empowering Women Globally
Providing sustainable menstruation products like period panties and menstrual cups can empower women in underserved communities by offering them safe, hygienic, and culturally appropriate options.
Economic and Market Potential
Growing Market for Sustainable Products
The global feminine hygiene products market was valued at over USD 28 billion in 2021, with a growing demand for sustainable and safe menstrual products.
Cost-Effectiveness
Sustainable options like menstrual cups and period panties are not only environmentally friendly but also economically advantageous in the long run, reducing the need for constant repurchasing of disposable products.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Opportunity for Positive Impact
By supporting programs like Menstruation Liberation, companies can significantly reduce their environmental footprint while improving public health and supporting cultural sensitivity. This initiative aligns with global sustainability goals and enhances corporate social responsibility efforts.
