How do Biodegradable Pads Benefit our Planet?
Have you ever thought about the environmental impact of having a period? I know, having a period is hard enough, now we're expected to think about it's sustainability too?!?! Don't worry, we're not here to shame or blame your period routine, we're here to show you that you have sustainable options that aren't too different from what you're using already - except they're way better for your body and the planet!
One box of traditional pads contains as plastic as 5 plastic bags. And those pads take up to 800 years to break down in landfills (basically, they don't break down, because they're made of 90% plastic. yikes). As menstruators, we don't think twice about using a pad, throwing it in the trash, and then never thinking about it again, but what if you could continue that same routine, with the peace of mind that your pad won't live on the earth over 8 times longer than you...
Introducing Viv Pads: a completely biodegradable pad that's not only more eco-friendly, but it's also 4 times more absorbent than traditional pads and extra soft! Viv Pads work better than what you've been using, while completely breaking down in just 150 days.
12 billion pads are thrown away every year in the United States alone - sitting in landfills, clogging sewer systems, and contributing to the never ending amount of plastic in our oceans. Replace all those pads with Viv's biodegradable pads, and all that plastic will be replaced with natural, biodegradable fibers like bamboo. Say goodbye to the trash crisis and hello to a world where we can be proud of the period products we use every month.
