"A review of eco-minded feminine products | By Sarah van Schagen | Grist | The Bottom Line | 07 Nov 2008
"Editor's Note: This is the first of a two-part series on feminine products. The second column focuses on tampons and menstrual cups.
Suffering the curse. Surfing the crimson wave. Being on the rag. Falling to the communists. Call it what you will, menstruation is a monthly reality for most women. And it's not exactly a party for the planet.
The average woman will menstruate for about four decades and use an estimated 16,800 sanitary pads or tampons in the process -- that's 250 to 300 pounds of waste. In the U.S. alone, some 12 billion pads and 7 billion tampons are disposed of annually. Add to that the questionable contents of said items -- synthetic fibers and chemical-soaked cotton -- and it's no wonder that time of the month isn't a pleasant one."
