Economic impact

The average duration of the menstrual briefs is 3 years if treated correctly. Taking a quick look we can see that with an investment of a set of 3 briefs (total 72.60 euros) every 3 years, during the fertile period of 40 years they spend in total about 580 euros against more than 3800 euros spent on the purchase of traditional sanitary napkins. On average, a woman spends 8 euros a month to buy them (4 euros for a pack of 12 tampons, need at least two packs per cycle).

Environmental impact

According to the Journal of the Institution on Environmental Sciences 1.4 million sanitary napkins, 2.5 million tampons and 700 thousand panty liners are discharged every day only in the U.K. in toilets, going to pollute the seas and beaches. It has been calculated that in the UK there are 4.8 disposable absorbent/tampon residues per 100 metres of beach. The causes of pollution related to the world of sanitary napkins are not only related to their disposal, but also to their production: a traditional absorbent consists of 90% plastic (2.4gr), the equivalent of 4 shopping bags per package. This is non-recoverable waste. With Bloom Underwear menstrual briefs the polluting factor is drastically reduced, being a product designed and created with a high durability of life, with first choice materials. Thanks to these data we can see that menstrual briefs are undoubtedly an ecological alternative that significantly reduces pollution in the world.
