Menstruation is an integral part of womanhood. But have you ever wondered how much plastic waste the disposable sanitary hygiene products generate?
It is estimated that a menstruator, during their lifetime, generates over 125 kilos of plastic waste by using disposable sanitary products. It is an alarming number, but what if we told you that there is a way to prevent it?
Say hello to your new eco-friendly, reusable, zero-waste sanitary napkin kit, Unmukt!
Why Unmukt?
Comfort
At The Happy Turtle, we believe in providing quality products without compromising on comfort. Our Unmukt Sanitary napkins are from GOTS certified cotton with extra soft pads designed to dry out quickly to ensure ultimate comfort even when you are on the move.
These napkins also have a waterproof sleeve to avoid leaks and stains, and they have a separable PU layer which you can discard and recycle when the sleeves wear out.
Cost-Effective
Unmukt, being a reusable pad, easily lasts for more than three years. The kit will pay out for itself in 3-4 months and then help you save all your period product expenses for the rest of its usage life!
Thus, Unmukt is not only environment friendly but also kind to you and your pocket.
Make a Socio-Environmental Impact
Unmukt reusable pads are made by women from SHGs and along with helping you and the environment, they also help the women earn a sustainable source of livelihood.
