RISING WOMEN EXPERT ADVICE...
What should I know when it comes to choosing a
sanitary napkin?
In many cultures around the world, a woman’s Moon Cycle or menstrual period
is considered a sacred and special time. It represents the potential for new
life and the perpetual cycle of nature as well as a rite of passage on the
journey from youth to maturity. Taking special care of ourselves during this
time should become more of a priority in our society.
Wear products that are made of raw, natural materials...We are all
familiar with the “toxic shock syndrome” warnings on tampon boxes. However,
many women aren’t aware about the presence of dioxin in many feminine
hygiene products or the risks they may pose to our health. Dioxin is a
byproduct of bleaching and has been suspected in feminine issues including
cancer and Endometriosis. These products come into direct contact with some
the most absorbent tissue of a woman’s body during her most vulnerable time
of the month. It is imperative to choose products that are made of only raw,
natural materials to avoid exposure to dioxin and other chemicals.
Choose products that eliminate moisture and bacteria and naturally
relieve menstrual discomfort...Bacteria thrive in a moisture-rich
environment and can wreak havoc on the natural flora in the vaginal region
during a woman’s Moon Cycle. Bacteria can be responsible for odor, itch,
rash and recurring infections, so it is important to keep this sensitive
area dry and bacteria free, allowing your body heat to flow constantly from
the area. Wear antibacterial, hygienic napkins that are permeable to air but
not water.
Ensure ultra-hygienic, safe manufacturing processes...Hygiene is
extremely important during our Moon Cycle. The outer product packaging
should have a reusable seal that reseals after each reopening to prevent
contamination. Individual napkins should be hygienically sealed and
contaminant resistant until ready for use. Only use products that have
achieved necessary certification, standard approvals, and are recognized by
federal inspection agencies.
Support companies and philosophies that educate and empower women...Mothers,
daughters, sisters, aunts and friends around the world embody love. Each of
us has a core philosophy that ensures our success. Women are born with
drive, commitment to our family and community, and above all, we possess a
capacity to truly love life! Embrace the concept that we can make a
difference, and in doing so change our lives and the world around us for the
better.
