The days of struggling to find a suitable place to dispose of period pads are over – as a new, fully flushable pad has now launched that dissolves naturally within just 30 days of being flushed down the toilet.
A poll of 2,000 adults who menstruate revealed that more than half have found themselves in situations where they could not find an appropriate place to dispose of their used period products.
Seven in ten of those have claimed that they have been somewhere where no bin was available – resulting in two-thirds (65 per cent) stashing the sanitary pad or tampon in their bag until they could suitably dispose of it.
