One box of 10 KIND organic day pads with wings, manufactured by Kale & Bee, made by Kale & Bee in 2018.
Disposable period products have a large environmental impact, and this has become an important topic of conversation. A traditional sanitary pad is around 90% plastic. This means they take a long time to break down in landfill and disposable period products are regularly found during beach cleans in the UK. Unlike a traditional disposable pad, these ones are made of organic cotton, have a biodegradable adhesive backing and a biodegradable wrapper.
However, these eco-friendlier products are more expensive and access to them is not always equal.
