What the petition asks
Introduce a law making it illegal for any period products—including pads, tampons, and reusable wear—to contain hormone disruptors. The government must mandate independent safety testing and set legal toxic limits to protect highly absorbent vaginal tissue from exposure.
Everyday period products—like pads, tampons, and reusable underwear—often contain hidden chemicals and plastics that can disrupt our hormones. The skin in our most intimate areas is incredibly thin and sensitive. Unlike food, chemicals absorbed here go straight into the bloodstream without being filtered by the body first. We are concerned that hormonal issues and fertility struggles are rising rapidly. Yet, it remains legal for brands to use these materials. The Government must act to ban these substances outright.
