Conventional tampons and pads are made from conventionally grown cotton (one of the most pesticide-intensive crops) 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
The DivaCup's medical-grade silicone is completely inert. One cup replaces thousands of disposable products over its 10-year lifespan, eliminating both chemical exposure and plastic waste.
