Retro Revisited: The Comeback of Sanitary Pads with Belts

Hey there, eco-warriors! 🌍 Have you ever heard of sanitary pads with belts? Yes, you read that correctly! Long before the sticky wings of disposable pads, women used pads that were held in place by a belt around the waist. Sounds historical, right? πŸ•°οΈ Well, buckle up because we’re diving into a retro revival that’s making waves in sustainable menstruation: the comeback of the sanitary pad with a belt – but with a modern, eco-friendly twist!

Back to Basics

Sanitary pads with belts were a go-to before the era of adhesives and disposables. Women would place a cloth pad onto a belt around their waist to manage their period. Fast forward to today, and we’re seeing a surge in interest towards sustainable period products, including a modern take on the sanitary belt system.

Why the Comeback?

So, why are we witnessing this blast from the past? The answer is simple: sustainability 🌱. The world is waking up to the effects of plastic waste, including disposable period products, which can take over 500 years to decompose. People are searching for eco-friendly alternatives, leading to the rebirth of the sanitary pad with a belt, but this time, they’re reusable.
