As with all reusable period products, there is always more than one reason as to why we love them here at The Nappy Gurus.
One of them being cost! On average a woman will spend roughly between £45-£88 a year on disposable sanitary wear. Compared to the one-off cost of CSP (Cloth Sanitary Pads) that will last years.
Using non-disposable sanitary protection, lowers the risk of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome)
No chemicals such as those in disposable tampons, causing vaginal dryness, which can alter the pH levels thus making you more likely to suffer from infections
Also a huge benefit for us, as we are all environmentally conscious is the impact disposables have on the environment. The average woman uses approximately 11,000 disposable pads and tampons throughout her lifetime-menstrual cycle. An estimated 8 billion bleached pads and tampons end up in the UK sewage systems each year and 70% of blockages in the sewage system are caused by sanitary waste.
