California's New Law Prohibiting Toxic Chemicals in Tampons and Pads

Have you heard about California’s new law banning toxic chemicals in tampons? It’s a huge win for women’s health, thanks to Assembly member Diane Papan. But honestly, while we celebrate, it’s frustrating to realize we’re still fighting for basic safety in 2024.

We’re tired of hearing about toxic metals in tampons—not shocked, just exhausted. It's wild that there’s been so much funding for men’s health issues while women's health gets ignored. Did you know there have been 60 clinical trials on Viagra, but it’s only recently that anyone studied the safety of menstrual products?

The good news? There are better options out there! Brands like Saalt offer menstrual cups and period panties that are safer and eco-friendly. At Saalt, we prioritize transparency and want you to feel empowered to make informed choices.

As we move forward, let’s demand transparency from all brands, push for more funding for women’s health research, and educate ourselves about safe alternatives. Together, we can create a world where we don’t have to fight for our health. Let’s keep the conversation going and support each other in this journey!
