Low Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Conventional tampons and pads contain pesticide residues (cotton is one of the most heavily pesticide-treated crops), dioxins from chlorine bleaching, and synthetic fragrances. The vaginal mucosa is one of the most absorptive surfaces in the body — chemicals applied to this area absorb directly into the bloodstream.

Why We Recommend This Product

Natracare's organic cotton pads are 100% organic cotton — no synthetic materials, no artificial fragrances, no dioxins. Biodegradable. The safest pad option for vaginal health.
