Crunching the Numbers: Period Underwear vs. Pads
Did you know? Over two years, period underwear costs less than half of what disposable pads do. And, yes, they do last that long with the right care - here's a demo to prove it and here's a link to our care instructions. Keeping them in tip top shape is an easy three step: rinse, wash, air dry affair.
Here’s the math:
- The average person uses 20 pads per period, which costs approximately $8 per period ($0.40 per pad).
- Over two years (24 periods), you’ll spend $192 on pads.
- With Eltee period underwear, at $4.16 per period, you’ll spend just $99.84 over the same period.
That’s nearly $100 in savings and you’re helping the planet. Win-win!
