ran out of pads on day 2 of my period so i quickly bought a new brand since i heard the brand i’ve been using faithfully since i was 12 is actually extremely toxic. the new ones are cotton and i love them! i haven’t had one cramp since switching. 🤩🤩

new brand is called “rael” it was made by 3 Korean women living in la who noticed that american feminine products didn’t prioritize clean ingredients. the old ones i used are “always” and they are toxic bc it has toxic forever chemicals that often irritate my coochie. so many articles and reports are being released about always. never knew the product could contribute to my discomfort but it makes sense bc most things marketed to women are for profit and not for our actual well being

hm okay ty for the info! i’ll have to check what pads i have bc i mostly use tampons lol. i’m personally a bit skeptical of the whole “clean beauty” movement but menstrual hygiene products are def an area that’s under researched
