Currently available napkins are made up of synthetic, Non-biodegradable materials and chemicals like phthalate which are common in the plastic products,So these napkins take more than 100 years to decompose. Women using this kind of napkins face skin irritation, itches, rashes and complicated diseases like cervical cancer.
