Leafline reusable:

Light inner for ladies, (Code LL5)                                                                    R40.00 each

Assume need 3/day with 3 day turnover for washing: 3 x 3 = 9 needed.

Cost for first month 9 x R40.00 =                                                                    R360.00

 

Single Use Disposable:

Disposable discreet branded pads for ladies 1 pack of 14 costs                    R75.00

Assume use 3 /day then pack lasts 14/3 =4,5 days = +- 5 days

Cost for month 30/5 x R75.00 = 6 x 75.00 =                                                   R450.00

 

For year:

Ladies’ reusable Leafline light inner total cost for year  =                            R360.00

Ladies’ single use, disposable pad cost for year = 12 x R450.00 =                R5400.00
