One note that I don’t think anyone has brought up (though I might have missed something): I think each person reached would mostly get either the health benefits or the cost benefits, not both, since people currently buying pads are already using a sanitary option and people using rags/​cloths aren’t spending money on products.
100% Agree good point. For the sake of a readable article I simplified and looked at the pad cost benefit rather than focusing on the larger healthcare benefit if it was rags.
