One hundred percent biodegradable sanitary pads

Saathi’s 100% biodegradable sanitary pad is made from an agricultural by-product, banana fiber. The fiber is one of the most absorbent and abundant natural fibers in India. Unlike wood pulp or cotton, the raw materials for Saathi’s sanitary pads don’t require additional land since their feedstock is from agricultural waste. They do not contain any bleaching chemicals, thereby minimizing skin irritation and the release of toxins into the environment upon disposal.
