Pee Safe 100% Organic Cotton, Biodegradable Sanitary Pads – Regular (Pack of 10)

Description

The Pee Safe 100% Organic Cotton, Biodegradable Sanitary Pads – Regular (Pack of 10) is an environmentally conscious choice for menstrual hygiene, offering a more sustainable and skin-friendly alternative to conventional sanitary pads.

Here’s a detailed description of this product:

Key Features and Benefits:

• 100% Organic Cotton Top Sheet: The layer that comes into direct contact with your skin is made from certified organic cotton. This means the cotton is grown without harmful pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
  • Benefit: Reduces the risk of irritation, rashes, and allergies, especially for those with sensitive skin, as it’s free from harsh chemicals often found in conventional pads (like chlorine bleach, dyes, and fragrances). It also allows the skin to breathe better.
• Biodegradable: This is a major environmental benefit. Unlike conventional pads that are largely made of plastic and can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills, these pads are designed to break down naturally.
  • Composition: Pee Safe pads are typically made with a combination of organic cotton and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified bamboo pulp for the absorbent core. The bottom layer and wrapper are often made from plant-based compostable films (like corn starch bioplastic) for leakage protection.
  • Decomposition Time: While exact times vary based on composting conditions, they are designed to degrade significantly faster (e.g., 18-24 months in a composting facility) than plastic-based pads.
• Chemical and Toxin-Free: Free from chlorine bleach, parabens, phthalates, dyes, fragrances, and other harmful chemicals commonly found in conventional pads.
  • Benefit: Safer for your intimate health and reduces exposure to potential endocrine disruptors and carcinogens.
• Anti-Bacterial: The bamboo pulp component often naturally possesses anti-bacterial properties, which can help in preventing odor and reducing the risk of infections.
• Individually Wrapped with Disposable Bags: Each pad comes wrapped in an individual biodegradable disposal bag.
  • Benefit: Ensures hygiene and offers a convenient and discreet way to dispose of used pads without needing separate plastic bags or newspaper wraps.
• Regular Absorbency (Regular Size): Designed for regular flow days. The length is typically around 280mm, providing good coverage for daytime use. Pee Safe also offers “Overnight” (often 315mm) for heavier flows.
• Comfortable and Soft: The organic cotton top sheet makes them soft and gentle against the skin, contributing to a more comfortable period experience.
• Leak-Proof: Despite being biodegradable and natural, they are designed with a plant-based leak-proof barrier to ensure effective protection against leakage.

Environmental Impact:

Choosing biodegradable sanitary pads like Pee Safe’s is a significant step towards reducing plastic pollution and landfill waste. The average person uses thousands of pads in their lifetime, and traditional pads contribute immensely to plastic waste in landfills and oceans. By opting for biodegradable alternatives, you help decrease your carbon footprint and support more sustainable manufacturing practices.
