Menstruation is a natural part of life but the waste it creates doesn’t have to be. Traditional pads and tampons, while convenient, contribute massively to plastic pollution and landfill waste. That’s where reusable period panties come in a comfortable, sustainable, and empowering solution for women and teens alike.
Let’s dive into how switching to period panties can make a real difference for both you and the Earth.
The Environmental Cost of Disposable Period Products
An average woman uses 10,000–12,000 disposable menstrual products in her lifetime.
Most of these pads and tampons are made of 90% plastic and can take 500–800 years to decompose.
Now imagine the global impact: billions of pads and tampons ending up in landfills and oceans every year. From packaging to disposal, these single-use products leave behind a trail of waste that harms our ecosystems.
The Sustainable Solution: Reusable Period Panties
Reusable period panties are designed to replace disposable pads and tampons, offering protection that’s both eco-friendly and comfortable. They’re made with multi-layer absorbent technology that locks in moisture, controls odor, and keeps you feeling fresh all day.
Each pair can last up to 2–3 years, reducing hundreds of disposable products from your personal waste footprint.
Mahina’s leakproof period panties are built to do just that absorb, protect, and let you move freely without worrying about leaks or discomfort.
