The contest between the two major varieties of pad (reusable and disposable pads) comes later, but first, we have to acknowledge the revolutionary existence of a sanitary napkin in a female's life. In older times, not only was the cloth used to prevent the menstrual flow but also issues like menstruation were hidden under covers. Apart from the cloth, there were rags, cotton or sheep's wool used by women to stem their blood flow.
A tampon is a mass of cotton or rayon; or a mixture of the two inserted into the body to absorb bodily fluid. Organic cotton tampons are made from only 100% cotton. The most common type in daily use is disposable and designed to be inserted into the vagina during menstruation to absorb the flow of menstrual fluid.
The process of menstruation can be irksome. On top of that, using uncomforting disposable pads during periods is a big no. All through this, reusable pads come to our rescue.
