Critical Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Conventional tampons and pads are made from conventionally grown cotton and synthetic materials. The vaginal mucosa is highly absorptive. PFAS, dioxins from chlorine bleaching, and pesticide residues in conventional feminine care products are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Why We Recommend This Product

Cora's 100% organic cotton tampons are one of the most accessible certified organic options. The vaginal mucosa is highly absorptive — organic cotton without chlorine bleaching or synthetic fibers is the safest choice for tampons.
