(PRWEB) September 9, 2005

It has been estimated that women use approximately 11,000-13,000 menstrual pads or tampons each, during their menstruating years. Increasing numbers of women are concerned about the health risk of disposable menstrual products.

Almost all major brands of menstrual products contain numerous chemicals including Dioxin, which is a known carcinogen, and has been linked to cervical cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis, and immune system suppression. It is reported that even low levels of dioxin are harmful to the human body and there is much scientific debate as to whether there is such a thing as a “safe level” of dioxin exposure. In addition, the plastic and glue backing on disposable pads reduces air circulation and creates a stagnant environment in which some bacteria thrive. This can cause vaginal irritation and yeast infection.

Organic Cotton Pads are a healthy alternative to disposable menstrual products; made with 100% certified organic cotton, they are comfortable, practical, and 100% safe. Organic Cotton Pads are launched in the UK on September 6 2005 by Baby-O, a leading wholesaler and retailer of organic mother and baby products.

More Comfortable than Disposable – Organic Cotton Pads are easy to clip on most panties and feel like just another layer of very soft underwear. Organic Cotton Pads do not have the sticky, sweaty feeling of disposables, and there’s no glue to get stuck in uncomfortable places.

100% Chemical Free – Organic Cotton Pads are made of 100% certified organic Egyptian cotton, which is grown without harmful pesticides, hand picked and treated without the use of any chemicals, and certified by the International Certification Board, Demeter. Egyptian organic cotton is incredibly soft, super-absorbent, breathable and durable.

Practical Design – Unlike most menstrual pads that require users to change the entire pad when it feels uncomfortably wet, Organic Cotton Pads allow a user to easily freshen the pad without having to change all of it. Because Organic Cotton Pads liners sit on top of the holder, the user only needs to swap out the liner, not the whole pad. This feature also allows users to purchase fewer pads and not be forced to carry around bulky disposable pads in their bag.

Only Organic Pads come with Colours! – Our Organic Cotton Pads are the ONLY washable organic cotton menstrual pads that come in a wide selection of beautiful prints. Most organic cotton pads are a dull oatmeal colour while ours offer various prints and colours. All dyes are environment-friendly low-impact metal-free dyes which are gentle to the skin.

Save Money – Organic Cotton Pads can last up to six years. On the average, a user will spend £4 per month on disposables, which over six years totals £288. The average start-up cost of the Organic Cotton Pads (2 Mini, 4 Day Pads and 2 Night Pads) is only £100. This can last at least 6 years. Fewer pads to purchase also save time and reduce waste in our environment.

Organic Cotton Pads are currently available at www. baby-o. co. uk.
