Effects of Dioxins in a Sanitary Pads

Posted by John shon on May 3rd, 2019

Shocking and Hazardous facts about the conventional sanitary pads:

Shock - 1

Almost all the conventional sanitary pads are mimicked to look like pure cotton. But that's not true. Yes, they are made from waste papers and wood pulps.

Shock - 2

Since the white colour is associated with purity, the waste papers and wood pulps are processed and bleached with chlorine to make it look sterile.

Shock - 3

It may look pristine and harmless, but the bleached waste paper and the wood pulp will still have the residues and by-products of bleaching. The two of the deadliest toxins - Dioxin and Trihalomethane.

Shock - 4

Dioxins are earmarked as the No.1 Human Carcinogen - a substance that causes cancer in living tissue.

Shock - 5

Dioxin is banned in early 2001 because of its capability to cause cancer in ovaries, bladder, breasts and uterus. And it also contains a range of harmful chemicals including polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and the recently banned, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Shock - 6

Dioxins also cause Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases and Endometriosis.

The Endometriosis Association of America correlates the very high incidence of Endometriosis to dioxin in sanitary napkins.

Shock - 7

Dioxin can also cause infertility, hormonal imbalance and multiple menstrual disorders.

For an average woman, it is not just one exposure but 500 menstrual cycles (ie) 2500 menstrual ways susceptible to hazardous toxins. Read more details on shycart.
