Choosing period products involves  many considerations, including convenience, comfort, cost and environmental impact.

When choosing between single-use and reusable, consider:

• The average woman will use between 5,000 and 15,000 pads and tampons in their lifetime
• Disposable period products can take between 300-500 years to decompose
• Around 90% of every disposable pad is made from plastic
• Many single-use period products contain harmful chemicals
• Switching to reusable period products can save you money in the long run
• Using reusable products helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill
