  What Causes aPeriod? • A period happens because of changes in hormones in the body. • Hormones are chemical mesengers. The ovaries release the female hormones estrogen and progesteron • These hormones cause the lining of the uterus (or womb) to build up. • The built-up lining is ready for a fertilized egg to attach to and start developing. • If there is no fertilized egg, the lining breaks down and bleeds. Then the same process happens all over again.

  Toxic chemicals innapkin  Volatile Organic Chemicals- acetone, iso propyl alcohol, toluene  Organic pollutant- dioxine and furans Side effects of market sanitary napkins. Pesticide grown cotton-Chemicals stay for long time. Continuous exposure leads to 1.infertility, 2.Hormonal disruption 3.Thyroid malfunction, diabetes, endometriosis and depression

  Disadvantages of napkins They carry streams-affect internal organs.  Sanitary pads BPA (Bisphenol A)and other chemicals –cancer  Interfere with the reproductive system  Presence of pesticides and herbicides directly mix with blood have fibre that are chlorine bleached-clean & sterile appearance  Bleaching process- dioxin, _Pelvic inflammatory disease, hormone dysfunction, endometriosis and even cancer.
