The world is facing a silent crisis – one that is rarely discussed: the staggering environmental impact of disposable pads. Roughly 150 billion hygiene and incontinence pads (focus: light leaks, non-period pads) are discarded annually after a single use. While worn only for hours, the environmental impact is long-lasting: it takes a shocking 600-800 years for these pads to decay! That’s why Slinex has developed a cutting-edge, reusable alternative with unseen discretion and sophistication with aim to elevate women’s everyday hygiene – sustainably.
Disposable pads – a growing environmental burden
Driven by rising wealth, a growing population, and an increase in incontinent women (already over 300 million globally and counting), pad consumption is expected to further soar. While disposable pads are convenient, they come at a steep environmental cost. The major concern lies in the composition of conventional pads, which contain up to 90% plastic and other petrochemical byproducts that remain in landfills for hundreds of years after disposal. By improving the appeal of reusable options, there is significant potential to positively shift consumption patterns and reduce the environmental impact of the disposable pads.
Current disposable solutions – unsophisticated and sub-optimal
Efforts to reduce waste have led to the creation of reusable pads, but these options have yet to achieve widespread adoption. Why? Because many find them bulky, uncomfortable, and impractical for today’s modern lifestyle. The designs often lack the sophistication, convenience, and discretion that women would expect from their hygiene products. As a result, consumers have been left with mostly sub-optimal options, forcing them to stick with disposable pads – until now.
Reimagining women’s hygiene: How Slinex Is shaping the industry
To increase the mass appeal of reusable pads, Slinex has fundamentally reimagined the future of female wellbeing and hygiene by merging style and function, rather than seeing them as two distinct topics. This builds on the fundamental belief that mass adoption and long-lasting shifts toward more sustainable solutions happen only when something is genuinely perceived as an upgrade, rather than a downgrade.
