Changing our mindset about how we look at feminine hygiene. We could solve the two extremes that are causing the biggest threat on the planet today.

The first problem is the amount of waste created by western society.

With the AHPMA reporting that 4.3 billion menstrual products are being thrown away each year in the UK.

This averages out to as much as 40 tonnes of wrongly flushed waste per week.

The second problem is with thousands of women worldwide who do not have access to regular feminine hygiene products.

These are reduced to using whatever they can find.

This is a very serious threat to the well-being of many girls and women worldwide.

This could be easily solved by making reusable sanitary towels more accessible to them!

At MettaLife, we are proud to support companies that have taken the initiative to create these 100% vegan, cruelty free, sustainable and ethical Feminine Hygiene products.

They offer products such as 100% organic cotton washable menstrual pads, which provides a consciously-minded alternative. Disposable sanitary pads and tampons. There is also a variety of reusable menstrual cups that are a safe and natural way to enjoy a waste free period.

By switching to Reusable Sanitary Pads you will not only be helping the environment. You will also be saving your body from the toxins and discomfort of tampons and disposable sanitary towels.
