The use of disposable intimate hygiene items has been extending for decades now, and in some countries they are now used by an overwhelming majority. As shown in the following tabs, the price paid by the planet for the generalised use of disposable hygiene items is so high that it is clearly advisable to opt for reusable items.

Remember this
We should choose items that can be used many times (cloth nappies and sanitary towels, menstrual cups...). The consumption of natural resources and the volume of waste deriving from using disposable items is not normal.

If we use disposable items, either occasionally or always, we should look for the ones that seek to reduce environmental impact.
