❓️ Do Sanitary Pads Cause Hormonal or Other Health Concerns?

There is no scientific evidence linking the trace EDCs found in sanitary pads or panty‑liners to hormonal disruption, cancer, infertility, endometriosis, or any other health conditions.
Detecting a substance does not mean it is harmful — especially when present at very low concentrations. SAHPRA and global regulators continue to monitor new evidence to ensure ongoing public safety.

❓️ Do Low‑Risk Medical Devices Still Need Good Manufacturing Practices?

Yes. Even though sanitary pads and panty‑liners are classified as low‑risk medical devices, manufacturers are still required to follow internationally recognised manufacturing and safety standards.

This ensures that all products on the market meet strict quality, safety, and performance requirements — keeping consumers protected at all times.

❓️ What Are Endocrine‑Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs)?

Endocrine‑Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are natural or synthetic substances found in many everyday items — including cosmetics, personal care products, plastics, and some food packaging. These substances can interact with hormones, which help regulate important body functions.
While the UFS study detected trace levels of EDCs in some sanitary pads, the levels were very low and did not pose any risk to users. Global health bodies, including the WHO, have monitored EDCs for over a century and have found no evidence of harm at these low exposure levels.

✅ Clarity and Awareness about the Findings on the Sanitary Pads Study Conducted by the University of Free State

❓️What Did the UFS Study Find?

A recent University of the Free State study detected trace levels of certain endocrine‑disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in some sanitary pads tested in South Africa. These levels were very low and fall within minimal exposure ranges, meaning they do not indicate a safety risk to users.

SAHPRA continues to monitor product safety to ensure public health remains protected.
