A silent crisis in India

Menstrual health in India needs urgent, safe, affordable solutions.

88%

Use Unhygienic Methods

Indian girls who quit school when they start menstruating due to lack of safe products.

9,000T

Monthly Waste

500+

Years to Decompose

One conventional pad outlives its user — and her grandchildren's grandchildren.

Hidden chemicals in mainstream pads

Your most sensitive skin absorbs chemicals directly into your bloodstream. Here's what's really there.

Dioxins & Furans

Created during chlorine bleaching to make pads look "clean white." Classified as a known human carcinogen by the WHO. Even trace amounts accumulate in body fat over years of exposure.

Phthalates & BPA

Found in plastic backing and synthetic fragrances. These endocrine disruptors mimic estrogen and are linked to PCOS, endometriosis, early puberty, and fertility problems.

🌾

Pesticide Residues

Non-organic cotton is one of the most pesticide-intensive crops. Residues of glyphosate — a "probably carcinogenic" chemical — have been detected in leading pad brands.

🧪

Volatile Compounds

Lab tests detect styrene, chloroform, and acetone in popular pads. These VOCs cause skin irritation, allergies, headaches, and organ damage with chronic exposure.

Soft organic cotton pad held gently in two hands — what touches your skin matters

Six years of your life. Pressed against your most absorptive skin.

The math no one tells you:

35 menstruating years × 13 cycles × 5 days × 24 hours = 54,600 hours of continuous skin contact. That's the equivalent of wearing a pad, non-stop, for six full years. And it's pressed against vulvar skin — which absorbs chemicals up to 10× faster than the skin on your arm, straight into your bloodstream, bypassing the liver entirely.

Conventional pads contain dioxins, phthalates, chlorine bleach residue, and synthetic fragrance. Your body has been quietly metabolizing them every cycle of your life.

Ecozen is what your body would have chosen, if anyone had asked.

    Your first period with Ecozen is usually the moment you realize what comfort actually feels like.

12,000 pads. One lifetime. All still on this planet.

A conventional pad is 90% plastic — the equivalent of 4 plastic bags against your skin. In India, 12.3 billion disposable pads are discarded every year. Most end up in landfills or water bodies, fragmenting into microplastics that enter our food, water, and eventually our bodies.
