Dear younger generation, Let’s Talk Periods Differently

Earlier we didn't talk about periods openly and freely. Conversations were hushed, sanitary pads were wrapped within newspapers, and discomfort was politely suffered through. Today, however, we want to convey something important to every young girl who has been through a few things on her own. Your period is something to be discussed not with fear or shame, but with pride, care, and unapologetic confidence. 

One of the best decisions you can make for your own body is switching to natural menstrual care such as cloth pads, period panties, or even cotton sanitary pads and panty liners. You are living at a time where you have an abundance of sustainable options but very less awareness about it.  

Your Body is Worth More

Previously,  women had no idea that the plastic pads being used contained chemicals. Countless women thought that experiencing rashes, itching, and general discomfort was ‘just a part of life.’ But it isn’t. The skin around your body, especially the intimate areas, is sensitive. This is why using cotton sanitary pads or even cloth pads for menstrual care is considered as an intelligent choice.

They are soft, breathable, and chemically untreated. These pads allow the skin to breathe, which minimizes infection, and provide comfort even during difficult days.

Cloth Pads and Period Panties: Age-Old Knowledge Coupled With Contemporary Comfort

Surprisingly, our grandmothers used cloth pads, although they did not come in the trendy, stylish designs that you possess now. Today's cloth pads are multi-use, leak-proof, and beautifully designed, making them easy to wash and very durable. It is not regressive to use them, rather it is progressive to embrace your body and Mother Nature.

In today's world, we are pretty sure that period panties are something that every woman had wished for during their menstruation period! Period underwear is hyped up to be magical because they absorb your flow, meaning on lighter days, you don't need to wear extra pads. No shifts, no leaks, just comfort.

PANTY LINERS - YOUR EVERYDAY FRIEND

As you grow older, your body will change in several ways. Some days you may have light spotting or some days, you may feel the onset of the period coming which is when panty liners are useful. They are soft, thin and perfect for everyday freshness.

Not only do panty liners allow you to feel confident, their cotton material makes them gentle enough to be worn on a daily basis.

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU, IT’S ABOUT THE EARTH, TOO

It makes us proud to see people of the younger generation care about the planet. Disposable pads and tampons contribute to a huge amount of waste, but opting for cloth pads or period panties reduces your environmental footprint.

Every little change counts. One girl switching to eco-friendly period care saves thousands of pads from filling landfills. Think about the difference it would make if millions of girls made that change. You have that power.

In Time With Kindness

So, we hope that every young girl see their period, not as a burden, but a natural, delightful aspect of being a woman. Don’t be afraid of it. Don't hide it. Love it. Respect your body, choose what’s best for it, and don’t shy away from looking for better alternatives.
