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

Cora's organic cotton tampons are 100% organic cotton — no pesticide residues, no dioxins, no synthetic fragrances. Cardboard applicator instead of plastic. The safest tampon option for vaginal health.
