Did you know that what comes into contact with the vagina has up to 80 times more impact than what comes into contact with the mouth?
Probably not.
We know that to be healthy we have to exercise and eat well, but what do we know about menstrual health? How many years of our lives are we exposing ourselves to toxins without even knowing it? And why don't we have this information?
This silence keeps us misinformed and puts our health and that of millions of people around the world at risk. At Menstrual Point we want to break this silence. For your well-being and for justice.
How do you know if a menstrual product is really healthy?
Before putting on a pad or tampon… STOP, test it:
1) Choose products made from 100% certified organic cotton. Look for this seal on the packaging and make sure they are free of harmful chemicals.
2) Choose plastic-free pads. If glitter and single-use straws have already been banned, why should pads be any different?
Here's how to check if a pad has plastic (all you need is a lighter and your regular pad or panty liner):
3) Check that the pads have a leak-proof barrier. What good is a pad if we end up staining ourselves anyway? To solve this problem, there is Drywings™ technology, an anti-leak barrier that distributes the blood along the absorbent core of the pad instead of passing through the wings, causing stains.
We show you here:
4) Make sure your tampons have a safety film. Tampons with Cottonlock™ technology prevent cotton residue from being left on the vaginal walls. Because none should be left in our bodies! Did you know that this residue can lead to unexpected bleeding, discomfort and even fever?

5) Boost the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). With Menstrual Point dispensers you will impact the goals of 10 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). We comply with it even if it is not required by law!

WebsiteAnd what do we do about the lack of menstrual education?
Conventional pads and tampons can seriously harm our health. The main problem? Almost no one knows. And meanwhile we continue to be exposed to these dangers without knowing that the origin is the constant use of these pads and tampons.
That is why we dedicate a large part of our efforts to disseminating information through training and workshops to organizations and educational centers. Because you cannot solve a problem without knowing that it exists and without knowing the alternatives.
