Almost every woman uses menstrual products throughout her reproductive age. Today, you can find many options on the market, such as classic pads or tampons, cups, or menstrual panties. However, not every woman is comfortable with relatively new alternative products, and menstrual products commonly available in drugstores have several disadvantages. That's why we came up with pads and tampons that can really suit all women, as they are made purely from organic cotton and free of unnecessary chemicals or plastics.
Let's introduce 4 main reasons why you should choose menstrual products from our Femvie e-shop.
Commonly available pads or tampons are made mainly from synthetic or polysynthetic materials and cotton grown with extensive use of pesticides or bleached with chlorine. They often contain ingredients such as viscose, chlorine bleach, dioxin, raydon, or dicofol, and artificial colors and synthetic fragrances that are meant to neutralize odor. These are usually substances that are not particularly beneficial to the body. (1)
Due to their composition, conventional menstrual products can contribute to skin irritation in intimate areas, affect the vaginal microbiome, and thus lead to more frequent infections or inflammation, or worsen menstrual pain.
Possible risks of conventional menstrual products:
- Skin irritation
- Dryness in intimate areas
- Hormonal disorders
- Discharge, inflammation
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.
Up to 16% of the total pesticide consumption annually goes into growing conventional cotton. This industry uses not only artificial fertilizers, but the use of genetically modified plants is also not excluded. (2)
By not using synthetic chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers for growing organic cotton, water pollution levels decrease by up to 98% and greenhouse gas production is reduced. (3) Thanks to its pure composition, organic cotton naturally decomposes in the soil, so you can confidently put 100% organic cotton products into the composter.
Femvie tampons are easy to insert, adhere to the vaginal wall, but do not harm the mucous membrane due to their breathability. 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, and the outer foil prevents leakage. The side wings securely hold the pad in place.
