Menstrual aids are used by almost every woman throughout her reproductive years. You can already find many options on the market today, such as classic pads or tampons, cups or menstrual panties. However, not every woman is satisfied with relatively new alternative products and menstrual aids commonly available in drugstores have a number of disadvantages. And that is why we have come up with pads and tampons that can really suit all women , as they are made of pure organic cotton and do not contain unnecessary chemicals or plastics.
Let's introduce 4 main reasons why you should choose menstrual aids from our Femvie e-shop.
Commonly available pads or tampons are made primarily of synthetic or polysynthetic materials and cotton grown with heavy pesticide use or bleached with chlorine. They often contain ingredients such as viscose, chlorine bleach, dioxin, raydon or dicofol, and artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances to neutralize odor. These are usually substances that are not good for the body. ( 1 )
Due to their composition, conventional menstrual aids can contribute to skin irritation in intimate areas, can affect the female vaginal microbiome, and thus lead to more frequent infections and inflammations or worsen menstrual pain.
Possible risks of conventional menstrual aids:
- Skin irritation
- Dryness in intimate areas
- Hormonal disorders
- Discharges, inflammations
Femvie menstrual pads and tampons are made purely from certified organic cotton, we do not bleach them with chlorine, and we produce and package them without plastics or chemical additives.
The cultivation of conventional cotton accounts for up to 16% of the total annual consumption of pesticides. This sector not only uses artificial fertilizers, but also uses genetically modified plants. ( 2 )
By not using synthetic chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers to grow organic cotton, water pollution levels are reduced by up to 98% and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced . ( 3 ) Organic cotton is naturally biodegradable in the soil , so you can compost 100% organic cotton products with peace of mind.
Femvie tampons are easy to insert, adhere to the vaginal wall, but due to their breathability they do not harm the mucous membrane. They have high absorbency and, thanks to 2 sizes, are suitable for women with normal and heavy menstruation . Cotton pads without unnecessary additives quickly absorb liquid, the outer foil does not let it flow. Side wings hold the pad securely in place.
