Sanitary Pads Are Killing You – You Know Why?

Here Are Few Reasons Why Your Sanitary Pads Are Dangerous

Sanitary Pads CAN CAUSE CANCER!!!

Yes, of course, they can; you don’t just get cancer all of a sudden. But you’re using pads every month, and maybe there is less exposure to chemical contaminants found in the materials of such pads.

They would interact inside our bodies and cause trouble to our reproductive health. Just the thought of having these cancerous chemicals on our vagina is scary and sickening.

FACTS:

• • The pads that we use are made of plastic materials. Some chemicals made of plastic like BPA (bisphenol A) and BPS (Bisphenol S) can complicate embryonic development. The plasticizing agent can lead to organ damage.
  • The fiber used in the absorbent pads that you use can cause cervical cancer. Sanitary napkins are not purely made of cotton, but they’re made of cellulose gel which absorbs liquid content.
  • The dioxin in the menstrual pads can cause ovarian cancer.
  • Pads are made to absorb wetness. Aside from cotton, they also contain other components such as rayon, a synthetic fiber, which is also dangerous because they also contain dioxin. When rayon gets bleached, it releases dioxin.
