6 things in Period Care
The guide
Conventional pads and tampons are largely plastic, and a person may use thousands in a lifetime. Reusables change the maths.
What actually helps
Switching to reusables removes a huge volume of plastic against the body.
The science
Conventional pads and tampons are largely plastic, and a person may use thousands over a lifetime. Medical-grade silicone cups and discs, period underwear, and organic-cotton pads are reusable for years, dramatically cutting both plastic waste and cost.
Plastic persists for centuries rather than biodegrading, so single-use period products accumulate indefinitely. · Stanford University, 2025
