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 — more so than skin. PFAS, dioxins from chlorine bleaching, and pesticide residues in conventional feminine care products are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Why We Recommend This Product
Natracare's organic cotton tampons eliminate the dioxin, pesticide, and synthetic fiber concerns of conventional tampons. For a product inserted into one of the body's most absorptive areas, organic cotton is the only responsible choice.
