Attention: Ladies and Parents
Pads, tampons, and disposable diapers are the most toxic waste products that make their way into dumps and our oceans. They are also some of the most toxic products that we can use; both contain Dioxin, a chemical used to bleach plastics and paper.
Invest in menstrual undies and/or menstrual cup. If you take care of your products, they will last years. So you start making your money back around the 6 month mark, depending on how many of each one-time-use equivalent you normally use.
Invest in reusable diapers and a compact diaper washer. Each child can use an average of 7500 diapers until they are potty trained which can cost up to SG$5000. If you choose the right cloth diapers and inserts, you might just end up investing about SG$1000, which can be used for all your children.
