A healthy woman has one period on average every 4-6 weeks from the ages of 13-45 years old. That's roughly 332 periods a lifetime on average, and let's round down to 314 periods a lifetime if this average woman has 2 children. If she has to replace her pad about every 6 hours for 4-7 days she uses an average of 20 pads per period. Using these numbers the average woman (using just pads on her period) would use 6,280 sanitary pads in a lifetime. Sanitary pads that are commercially made with plastic that gets thrown into a landfill. Instead of having to buy 6,280 pads made of plastic over a lifetime wouldn't it be neat if 50% of the world's population could instead use something simple, washable, and made of cloth to collect their uterine lining? And what if you could make this simple solution with most kinds of absorbable cloth that could have all kinds of patterns printed on them? Wouldn't it be nice to have something silly like a vampire printed fabric so when you are in the fetal position in bed because it feels like someone is raking your uterus with barbed wire you could laugh to yourself and think "My vagina is bleeding on a vampire's face right now"??
