Recently, the "organic cotton revolution" on Instagram has become very popular. Internet celebrities hold "100% organic cotton sanitary napkins" as if they are holding the scepter of menstrual freedom in the new era. As a laboratory madman who has disassembled hundreds of sanitary napkins, today I want to tell you the truth under the microscope: in this revolution, some people are truly environmentally friendly, while others are playing "The Emperor's New Clothes".

 

 

We have dissected the "Revolutionary Pioneer" of a popular brand. The surface organic cotton does reach GOTS certification, but when the adhesive strip on the back is torn off, the pungent smell of industrial-grade adhesive mixed with formaldehyde rushes straight to the top of the head! When the laboratory simulates the menstrual body temperature test, the VOCs (volatile organic compounds) released by these colloids in a 37℃ environment are concentrated enough to make mice collectively stage a "prison break". What's more ironic is that its outer packaging is clearly printed with "pregnant safety", but the actual pH value is as high as 8.3 (the healthy private environment should be 4.5-5.5), which is equivalent to pouring soda water on the delicate mucous membrane.

 

 

The truth is often hidden in the dark corners of the supply chain. A European Internet celebrity brand boasts that "from cotton fields to packaging, the whole process is organic", but in fact, antibiotics are mixed into animal manure when fertilizing the planting process, and cheap ethylene oxide is secretly used for sterilization in the factory. Even more outrageous is an "organic revolution leader" in India, whose organic cotton accounts for less than 30%, but adds fluorescent dyes to create the illusion of "natural beige" when printing roll film - this wave of operations can be called a textbook case of greenwashing.

 

 

The darkest chapter of this revolution was written in Africa. Some brands posted chicken soup on Instagram to "support menstrual fairness" while mixing "organic scraps + chemical waste" into sanitary napkins and dumping them on slum girls. We have tested the "revolutionary style" circulated in the slums of Nairobi, and the total number of mold exceeded the standard by 47 times, and the water-absorbing layer was mixed with asbestos fibers! When London socialites are moved by their "contributions to environmental protection", the wombs of girls in Asia, Africa and Latin America are becoming a garbage dump for global green capital.

 

 

Under the cryo-electron microscope in the laboratory, I have seen the real conscience of the industry: a niche Japanese brand has achieved molecular-level purification of organic cotton, and the back glue uses edible glutinous rice glue; an old German factory spent 7 years developing seaweed-based biodegradable wings. These "stupid brands" that do not engage in marketing gimmicks are squeezed out of the traffic pool - because a truly safe organic cotton sanitary napkin costs enough to buy three cups of Starbucks, and most people are only willing to pay for Instagram filters.

 

The absurdity of this revolution is that it simplifies the complex issue of women's health into "organic cotton worship". When we play word games on the material list, female workers on the assembly line are infertile due to excessive exposure to ethylene oxide; when consumers pay a 50% premium for the "pure natural" label, the black-hearted factory is investing the money saved in Internet celebrities to bring goods. Perhaps it's time to wake up: a real revolution should not let women make a single choice between environmental protection and safety.
