Why Reusable Pads
Why make the switch? for your health, for the environment, for your savings and for the values.
Many people still think using reusable cloth pads are gross. We understand if you're one of them, but hear us out before making the decision to say no to cloth. Have you ever thought about what all the chemicals inside the disposable pads and tampons are doing to your body? Do you know how much is going to landfill every year from disposable pads and tampons? Do you keep track of how much you're spending on purchasing pads and tampons that you will be throwing away in a few hours? Read on so we can tell you all about it!
For your health
Conventional disposable pads and tampons contain irritating chemicals and additives that interfere with how our body works naturally. And you don't want these near you, especially at one of the most sensitive areas of your body! The skin of your labia is very thin and sensitive, and it absorbs very well. Think of all the chemicals entering your body! With LUCKYPADS, you are safe from these unwanted substances. The top & absorption layers are unbleached and non-dyed. And it's organic cotton too! Why do we not use regular cotton? It's because 5 of the top 9 pesticides used to grow regular cotton are known cancer-causing chemicals. With organic cotton, you're also safe from these pesticides too. It's truly one of the most natural way to bleed through.
And in speaking of natural bleeding, your period shouldn't be thought of something gross or troublesome. It's a perfectly normal, natural, and healthy thing! Many people get the perception that it's gross especially because of the smell of a used disposable pad. (and yes, I was one of them too before.) But, did you know that your menstrual blood doesn't stink like that? The odor comes from the chemical reactions and bacteria that grows when blood is absorbed into the chemical-full pad. With LUCKYPADS, it shouldn't smell like anything but your normal discharge & blood. Get to know your body. Embrace what it's doing.
For the environment
Did you know one person uses up to 16,000, SIXTEEN THOUSAND pads and tampons over her lifetime? And it's not only the pads that we need to consider here. There's also all the packaging materials (also mainly plastic!) used to manufacture and ship out all the those disposable pads and tampons. Now I say that is a lot of waste dumped to landfill!
With LUCKYPADS, you decrease your environmental footprint and feel good about it every month!
For your saving
With a good LUCKYPADS set in your hands, you're good to go for the next several years. No more last minute trips to the store to get pads.
Lets say it costs about $0.20 per pad or tampon on average (that's including all absorbency). Remember the 16,000 pads for lifetime as mentioned above? Multiply the two and you get $3200! $3200 is what one spends over her lifetime on trash. Investing in a set of cloth pads may seem expensive upfront, but it will save to tons in the future.
