Industry produced pads and tampons contain Dioxin, one of the most dangerous and toxic chemicals ON THE PLANET; known to cause cancer and birth defects. Commercial tampons also contain rayon, which encourages the overgrowth of yeast and bacteria. The tampon industry alone makes more than $7 MILLION A YEAR off of women. One alternative is reusable cloth maxipads. These pads are sewn from 100% cotton (preshrunk). They contain a removable, absorbent insert (choose thick or thin insert to your preference), and they have wings with snaps for extra soaking and staying power. The underside has a slot for the insert, so you can always add more padding, should you need some. Health is more important than convenience in our opinion. You will have to wash them after each use so when you're not at home, you can carry a plastic bag with you, and save them for when you get home. Boycott the industry and start loving your cunt! Punk rock! Comes with instructions and information about why someone would choose reusable pads as an alternative. If you feel that you are capable of paying more than $4, payment is on a sliding scale of $4-10. If you are capable of paying more, please include it in your order notes.
