HEALTH BENEFITS

Rad-Pads eliminates the potential problems associated with bleached disposable pads and tampons.

TAMPONS
Chemical Residue - there is concern for the exposure of the uterus to pesticide and chemical residues (particularly dioxin - a hazardous organochlorine by-product of chlorine bleaching).

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) - a potentially fatal condition associated with tampon use.

Damage to MembraneTissue - caused by excessive drying of the protective membrane tissue.

** Being pads, Rad-Pads naturally sidestep concerns associated with tampon use **
 

DISPOSABLE PADS
Irritations - since disposable pads are made from chemically treated wood pulp, the tiny wooden fibres can act abrasively on sensitive skin causing chaffing and irritation.

Chemical Residues - Similarly chemical residues from chlorine bleaching and the use of absorbancy chemicals, such as sodium polyacrylate, can have toxic effects.

** Made from cloth Rad-Pads are soft and comfortable to wear.  The cotton  or hemp fleece cloth allows the skin to breathe and offers a healthier, non-irritating alternative to disposable pads **
