Directions for Use Remove the release paper from the back of the pad. Firmly stick the pad onto your panty line. But the constituents in these pads behave differently in the Indian environment, which is humid and sweaty, as against environments that are cool and dry.
But things have improved in the recent years," the executive said, asking not to be named. The most contested constituents of sanitary pads are dioxins and SAPs. SAPs are added to increase the absorption capacity, but in s, use of SAPs was restricted in tampons in the US due to its possible link with toxic shock syndrome, a potentially fatal illness caused by a bacterial toxin.
Due to the omnipresence of dioxins, the World Health Organization says not all the exposure will affect human health. However, due to the highly toxic potential dioxin accumulates in the body fat and can add up to the residual levels over time , efforts need to be undertaken to reduce current background exposure. The severity of endometriosis was directly related to the amount of TCDD 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin—the most toxic dioxin to which the monkeys had been exposed.
Those that were fed dioxin in amounts as small as five parts per trillion also developed endometriosis. The dioxin-exposed monkeys also showed immune abnormalities similar to those observed in women with endometriosis. When these chemicals come in contact with sensitive skin, tissue may get irritated. Dioxins are carcinogenic in nature hence the risk of cancer increases even at very low levels of exposure," write Anuradha Barman, S. The company does not disclose what fragrance it uses, but states that it meets safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association.
Menstrual pads sold commercially are designed in such a way that they have direct contact with the vaginal area. The vulvar and vaginal tissues are structurally different from the skin of the rest of the body, being more permeable and covered in mucous membranes. The mucous membranes and the fact that the walls of the vagina are filled with numerous blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, allow for direct transfer of chemicals into the circulatory system, without being metabolized first.
It is mostly wood pulp. Almost all use the same materials, changes are in the form—how it looks and feels versus what materials are used. As for the chemicals used, every company will say that the quantity of chemicals, SAP or chlorine bleach they use will not kill you," said Sarah McMillan, business development lead at Saathi Pads, a start-up that makes biodegradable sanitary pads.
The plastic revolution changed the nature of the sanitary napkin. SAP and polyethylene for back cover made the napkins waterproof. The polypropylene top sheet kept it dry. Today sanitary pads are almost entirely made of plastic material. And even the plastic used is of an inferior quality. Padma Shri awardee Arunachalam Murugunantham, inventor of a low-cost sanitary pad making machine in Tamil Nadu, said those living in the metros tend to think that the real India is the India of the cities.
It is because of the ads like those which claim day-long protection that women are misled about the duration for which it is safe to use one pad. If they know they should change after every four hours, they will be saved from infections," he added.
