The right way to dispose of Sanitary Pads
                     The Right Way To Dispose Of Sanitary Pads 
 
 
Sanitary pads every year contribute to a large amount of landfill waste 
everywhere. In India alone, sanitary pads contribute to 113,000 metric tons of 
waste every year. By properly disposing of sanitary pads, the waste production 
can be reduced, and if we use biodegradable sanitary pads and disposable bags, 
the waste can biodegrade over time. 
So, let's see how to dispose of sanitary pads perfectly. The best and easiest 
method is to put them in a separate biodegradable disposable bag. First, 
remove the sanitary pad from your underwear, fold it, and put it in a disposable 
bag. Whether heavy flow pads or regular flow pads, nowadays these pads from 
various brands come with disposable bags themselves. The best option is to 
choose them so as to avoid any hassles. 
In emergencies or if you don't have disposable bags, you can choose to wrap 
the sanitary pad in its own cover and put it in the trash. This might not be very 
friendly, but it does the job when needed. This will indeed prevent any mess or 
odor. 
At last, you can try the old way and dispose of the sanitary pad in a newspaper 
by sealing it in plastic. Toilet paper can also come in handy in this case. 
You can make a wise decision for the environment by choosing to dispose of the 
sanitary pad in the right manner. Another alternative that can be used is cloth 
sanitary pads, which can be washed and reused and don't need to be disposed 
of.
