A STORY OF KOTONO
A menstrual period is a physiological cycle in women’s body. Research shows that each woman experiences about 400-500 menstrual periods in her life.
Disposable sanitary pad is a necessity for women during menstruation. They bring many conveniences to women. Sanitary pad is a non-degradable item. It cannot be landfilled or burned because it can produce toxic substances.
Every woman uses about 14 thousand of sanitary pads in their whole life! The disposable sanitary pad was invented only 100 years ago but there is a huge number of sanitary pads have been used by women over these 100 years. These sanitary pads are enough to go around the earth several times and brings irreparable harm to the environment.
Against this background, we decided to launch "Cloth Sanitary Pad". As the name implies, it is made of cloth and can be reusable. It is not only environmentally friendly, more comfortable than a disposable sanitary pad but also solves the allergy problems caused by the disposable sanitary pad.
Normally, the service life of cloth sanitary pad is 2-3 years, and about 10 pieces are used within a menstrual cycle. Each woman only needs to use about 200 pieces in her life. Because it is made of cotton, it will be degrade in a short time after being discarded, and the toxic compounds produced only brings very little impact on the environment.
