Menstruation is a natural phenomenon that affects every woman, but the traditional menstrual products used in Ghana, such as pads and tampons, pose a significant threat to the environment. These products are often made from non-biodegradable materials like plastic, which takes hundreds of years to decompose and harms the environment.
To combat this environmental crisis, eco-friendly menstruation products have emerged as a solution. Menstrual cups and cloth pads are reusable, washable, and sustainable. They are made from natural materials like cotton and silicone, which are environmentally friendly and do not cause any harm to the environment.
Using eco-friendly menstrual products can also be cost-effective in the long run as they can be reused for several years, saving money on constantly buying disposable products.
If we all switch to eco-friendly menstrual products, we can reduce the waste generated from traditional menstrual products and protect our environment. It is time for Ghanaian women to embrace eco-friendly menstruation and step toward a sustainable future.
