The Social and Environmental Impact of Single-Use and Reusable Menstrual Products

At Azure Belle we provide reusable eco friendly leakproof period swimwear with the aim of reducing the need for single use menstrual products for women when swimming. 

Currently the most popular types of single use menstrual product are also the most detrimental to the natural environment, particularly due to the amount of hidden plastic in disposable menstrual products.

It is estimated that tampons, which are the preferred choice in Western Europe and the US, are used by 100 million women globally, each using on average 11,000 of them in their lifetime.

It has been estimated that a regular non-organic pad can take 500–800 years to break down and as plastic makes up such a large amount of these products, they will never truly biodegrade.
