Why switch to using 100% pure organic and natural sanitary care products
3 min read

The female private areas are highly sensitive, they are the most absorbent parts of our bodies and highly important to our overall health and happiness, and yet many commercial feminine hygiene products contain synthetic materials and chlorine, which can be very disruptive and harmful to our health as they can easily wind up in the bloodstream and distributed through our body.
The average woman will use approximately use around 11,000 pads, tampons during her lifetime. Using mainstream products, we could be putting pesticides, chlorine, fragrance (these can be numerous potentially damaging ingredients), and toxic chemicals inside our body.
Top 5 reasons why you should make the switch now.
1. Health benefit
Our natural products are made from 100% organic cotton. No bleach or chlorine used, so you don’t have to worry about chemicals around your vaginal.
The use of traditional period pads, tampons, and pantyliners contain chemicals called dioxins created by the bleaching process. Exposure to these chemicals has been associated with higher cancer risk. According to the World Health Organisation, dioxins can also cause hormone issues, issues with the immune system, developmental problems, and reproductive issues such as endometriosis, painful periods, and even infertility.
Also, fragrance in traditional pads, tampons, and pantyliners can cause irritation and allergic reaction.
You will enjoy personal benefits if you switch to 100% organic and natural sanitary care products!
2. Eco friendly
When products are disposed of you don’t have to worry about dangerous chemicals leaching into waterways and soil. They are also free from polluting plastics, as you know plastic pollution is everywhere and the problem does not seem to go away anytime soon. Mainstream products are full of plastic, which eventually ends up harming our environment and harming our sea animals.
Lilyflow sanitary pads and pantyliners are biodegradable they are 100% eco-friendly, when disposed of they are compostable and will disappear over a few months into compost fit for the environment.
3. Breathable
Traditional sanitary pad, tampons, and pantyliners include manmade fibres, organic cotton pads allow the skin to breathe while keeping you dry as it contains absorbent cellulose core.
The soft cotton also reduces the risk for allergies and skin irritation that can result from the plastic content on traditional pads. There is also a lower risk of fungal and bacterial infection that can result when airflow is limited to your vaginal.
4. Comfortability
Traditional pads that are made with synthetic fibers contain only a small percentage of cotton, and some contain no cotton at all. They use materials with certain attributes to stimulate the texture of cotton, which may cause allergy and irritation.
When you touch the surface of the traditional pads, you can feel that it’s a little bumpy and rough not as soft as the 100% organic cotton pads and pantyliners
5. Affordability
There is a misconception that organic products are wildly more expensive or overpriced for the average person to afford, but this is often not the case.
The difference in price is averagely between £1.50 to £2.50 depending on the size and quantity.
A few extra costs paid to protect your body, the environment, wildlife, agriculture and future generations.
Organic cotton absorbs more than the traditional pads, you might find out you use fewer products for your period.
Choosing Organic and Natural products is a good way to brandish your purchasing power!
I hope this has helped convinced or add more knowledge to what you may or may not know about 100% organic and natural sanitary products!
I made the switch to 100% organic sanitary products a year ago. I am so happy I made the change and the befits I have seen and experienced so far is amazing, can’t believe it took me years to know about healthier options and its benefit.
