Mexico City plastic ban causes tampon concerns for women

4 Min Read MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - In Mexico City, one of the world’s biggest cities, a product that many women relied on as a monthly necessity is gradually disappearing from the shelves: tampons with plastic applicators. With a lifespan of nearly 150 years, the applicators join plastic bags, forks, cups, balloons and straws as single-use plastics that Mexico City has banned as it pushes forward with a greener agenda. Women’s groups, however, said the city’s ban on the applicators is an attack on human rights and creates a phenomenon of “menstrual poverty” because alternative products, like organic tampons or silicone menstrual cups, are more expensive and often hard to find.

Mexico City Implements Ban on Single-Use Plastic — But People Who Menstruate Face the Consequences

Published: 05 March 2021 People who have periods will keep tampons hidden meticulously: being stranded without period products means uncomfortably, embarrassment, and ruined clothes. For people in Mexico City who use tampons with plastic applicators, however, they no longer have the option to hide them. They don’t even have the option to buy and use them. Mexico’s population of 126 million produces 6,000 tons of plastic waste yearly. To minimize their impact on the planet, Mexico City passed legislation banning single-use plastic in 2019. As of Jan. 1, the commercialization, distribution, and delivery of plastic products are now illegal. The law is now impacting those who menstruate and rely on tampons with plastic applicators.
