Period? Naturally. Tampons and pads? Unfortunately, not so eco-friendly.

For World Environment Day, we want to highlight an often-overlooked topic: the environmental impact of menstrual products — and how period underwear offers a sustainable alternative.


The Hidden Burden of Conventional Menstrual Products


Over a lifetime, a menstruating person uses an average of over 11,000 tampons or pads. That adds up to a mountain of waste, most of which ends up in landfills or our oceans. Many of these products contain large amounts of plastic and can take up to 800 years to decompose.

Here are a few eye-opening numbers:

  • Up to 90% plastic content in single-use pads

  • 5.3 kg of CO₂ per year is caused by the average use of menstrual products

  • 200,000 tons of waste are produced annually worldwide from menstrual items


Period Underwear: The Sustainable Solution


Period underwear is washable, reusable, and comfortable, offering a revolutionary alternative to disposables. At allthingsdaysie, we’re committed to making period care both eco-friendly and practical for everyday life.


What makes period underwear so sustainable?

  • Zero disposable waste: Just wash and reuse

  • Durability: Each pair lasts 2–3 years with proper care

  • No microplastics: Made from skin-friendly, breathable materials

  • Cost-effective: Fewer purchases, greater sustainability

Every allthingsdayaysie pair replaces hundreds of tampons or pads — a small step with a big impact.


Small Changes, Big Impact


The motto of this year’s World Environment Day is: “Restore Our Ecosystems.”While reforestation and climate action are critical, real change often starts in our daily routines — for example, in the bathroom.


By choosing period underwear, you actively support:

  • Less waste

  • Lower CO₂ emissions

  • More comfort and confidence


Period Care with Purpose

We know: switching isn’t always easy. That’s why we make it simple with allthingsdaysie — through comfort, quality, and transparency.

This World Environment Day, we invite you to bleed green with us. Because better periods start with better choices — for you, for others, and our planet. 🌍

Make the switch today for a better tomorrow. Your decision to use sustainable period underwear is good for you and even better for the planet. Together, we can build a greener future, step by step.
