Gift A Green Period

Help Us Gift women & Girls Green Periods - Sustainable Menstruation for a Healthier Future!

Introduction:

Every year, millions of women face the harsh reality of menstrual hygiene challenges. In India alone, 335 million menstruating women create over 1,13,000 tonnes of menstrual waste annually. Disposable pads take centuries to decompose, polluting our environment, while improper disposal puts women at risk for infections. But there is hope.

The Problem:

The environmental and health consequences of disposable menstrual products are staggering. Disposable sanitary pads contain harmful chemicals that may lead to serious health risks like cancer, infertility, and birth defects. In addition, they create an enormous amount of waste that can take 500 to 800 years to decompose. This is not just an environmental crisis; it’s a public health issue, too.

• 1,13,000 tonnes of menstrual waste generated annually in India.
• Over 500 to 800 years for pads to decompose.
• Health risks: Cancer, infertility, birth defects.

The Solution:

Stonesoup is committed to offering a safer, healthier, and more sustainable alternative: Green Periods.

• Menstrual Cups: One menstrual cup last for about 10 years and saves 1800 disposable pads from going to the landfill.
• By gifting women and college girls with menstrual cups we aim to reduce menstrual waste and create healthier, safer menstruation practices for women across India.
