It is estimated that a woman will use as many as 16,000 tampons over thecourse of her life. A 1998 study concluded that 6.5 billion tampons and 13.5billion sanitary pads were disposed of in one year's time. These products,often laden with chemicals such as dioxins, end up in landfills and sewersystems, sometimes even washing up on U.S. coastlines. "Given that the EPA hasindicated that there is no safe level for dioxin exposure, we have foundourselves at a crossroads -- an emphatic call to make a wiser choice thatsupports individual health and the health of the environment," says BrendaMallory, Founder and President of GladRags.
