You may be surprised to learn that forever chemicals, also known as PFAS, have been found in period products.

These chemicals are known to be harmful to human health and the environment. Significant evidence has already been here.

Independent lab testing and investigations have revealed that nearly half of all period products tested contained PFAS.

Even products that claim to be PFAS-free may still contain these chemicals.

Is it intentional or unintentional, well both!

There are a number of ways to reduce your exposure to PFAS from period products.

One option is to switch to reusable menstrual cups or discs.

These products are made from medical-grade silicone, which is not known to contain PFAS.

Luckily and fortunately.

You can also reduce your exposure by pre-washing reusable products before use.

This will help to remove any PFAS that may have been introduced during manufacturing or storage.

It is important to be an informed consumer and to choose period products that are free of harmful chemicals.

By taking these steps, you can help to protect your health and the environment.
