What do disposable pads and tampons hide?

Did you know that one pack of gaskets contains the equivalent amount of plastic as 4 packs?

We will tell you what ordinary gaskets consist of.

For some 70 years, women have moved from "handmade" products to industrial products. Now instead of natural materials, plastics, petrochemicals and semi-synthetic fibers.

Even the words "soft as cotton" on the gasket packaging do not mean that the product is made of cotton.

Every woman has the right to know what such intimate and very important hygienic products as pads and tampons are made of.

Not all gasket brands write an honest and complete composition on the package.

Even what they write is already unpleasant, because there is up to 90% plastic.

So what do gaskets consist of?

Top layer in contact with skin: plastic layer polypropylene nonwoven fabric / polyolefin product of petrochemistry, does not decompose in nature.

Plastic promotes the development of bacteria, the penetration of pathological microflora from the intestine into the genitals and odor.

The middle absorption layer consists of chlorine bleached with chlorine (contains residues of the carcinogen dioxin, a by-product of bleaching).

Cellulose impregnated with a polyacrylate gel-absorbent of petrochemical origin provokes irritation.


You can test with your gasket. Pour a little amused liquid and cut the gasket in half. If you see clear or colored granules that look like sand, it is an absorbent gel.
The bottom layer in contact with the linen is a plastic layer / polyolefin.

What do tampons hide?

Why is it important to pay attention to the composition of tampons?

The skin of the vagina is delicate and thin, which allows chemicals to easily enter the body. Immediately into the blood, bypassing a filter such as the liver.

Moreover, tampons are associated with the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (STS), a rare but deadly disease caused by certain types of bacteria that can produce toxins in the body.

Importantly, the use of 100% cotton swabs can reduce the risk of toxic shock syndrome compared to tampons containing viscose *.

What do ordinary tampons consist of and what is wrong?

INTERNAL FILLING can be from

  • viscose - a semi-synthetic material that is difficult to decompose in nature.
  • genetically modified cotton containing residues of the carcinogenic pesticide glyphosate.
  • chlorine-bleached cellulose containing residues of the carcinogen dioxin, a by-product of bleaching.


Most manufacturers use viscose - a semi-synthetic material that does not decompose in nature.

It is loved for its hygroscopicity - viscose can be used to make tampons of small size and with good absorbent properties.

However, viscose due to the fact that its fibers are short and straight, loses fibers and they remain in the vagina, can cause inflammation and reproduction of pathogenic microflora.


You can perform the test with your tampon. Dip a swab into a glass of water. If it is made of viscose, then in a few minutes you will see white hairs on the bottom of the glass. Cotton swabs due to long and twisted fibers are kept in a pile and do not lose fibers.


The surface of tampons - made of polypropylene nonwoven material / polyester - is a synthetic material that is harmful to human health and the environment.

The applicator and rope are often made of plastic.
