Embracing Reusable Pads: A Hygienic and Sustainable Choice for Women

Embracing Reusable Pads: A Hygienic and Sustainable Choice for Women

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

As we celebrate Menstrual Hygiene Day, I reflect on my own journey with menstruation and the lessons passed down from my mother and grandmothers. They taught me about the importance of menstrual hygiene using a red and white cloth, commonly known as “amonsin.” While this method was effective for its time, I’m excited to learn about the advancements in menstrual care and embrace a better, hygienic, and healthier version – reusable pads.

Reusable pads are a game-changer for women, especially those who struggle to access or afford disposable pads. Made from breathable materials, these pads are designed to be washed and reused multiple times, making them a sustainable and eco-friendly option. I’m eager to try reusable pads for myself and teach my daughters about this innovative solution when they come of age.

One of the biggest advantages of reusable pads is their ability to contain menstrual flow without the need for disposable products. Unlike disposable pads, which can be expensive and contribute to waste, reusable pads can be washed and reused, reducing the financial burden and environmental impact. Moreover, reusable pads are designed to be comfortable and gentle on the skin, making them a great option for women with sensitive skin or allergies.

I understand that some people may have concerns about the cleaning and maintenance of reusable pads. However, with proper care and washing, reusable pads can be a hygienic and healthy choice for women. In fact, many reusable pads come with instructions on how to wash and sanitize them, making it easy to keep them clean and fresh.

As someone who values sustainability and menstrual equity, I believe that reusable pads are an excellent option for women. I encourage all women to consider trying reusable pads and experience the benefits for themselves.

Let’s recognize menstruation as a natural, healthy process and work towards a future where all women and girls have access to safe, affordable, and eco-friendly menstrual products. Join me in celebrating Menstrual Hygiene Day by making the switch to reusable pads and advocating for a more inclusive and supportive environment for all menstruators.

We need policies that take away the tax component on sanitary towels, but even if pads cost 2ghc, there are people who can’t afford them every month. Let’s work together towards a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
