Say Yes to Natural

Due to concerns about their health and their environment, many women today are wisely choosing an alternative to commercial tampons. They are playing safe by purchasing products that are made from 100% organically-grown cotton, that are free of dioxins left over from chlorine bleaching, and that contain no additives, dyes, or fragrances. They are also helping the sustainability of our environment since natural tampons are biodegradable. Organic tampons are a choice that are kinder to the earth as well as to women.

Most tampons on the market contain rayon. The process used to create this super absorbent synthetic fiber leaves harsh chemicals embedded in it. The abrasive nature of this fiber can leave behind tiny cuts and scrapes. Tampons that contain rayon have been linked to higher TSS risk compared to 100% cotton tampons. Cotton that is not grown organically can be loaded with toxic residue from pesticides and fertilizers. As a result of chlorine bleaching the cotton, most tampons on the market also have small amount of dioxin left in them. Dioxin is the same carcinogen that is active in Agent Orange. It settles in fat cells and builds up over time. Even at low levels, dioxin is linked to cancer, endometriosis, and suppressed immune systems. Dioxin also disrupts normal hormonal activity.

Choosing Natracare tampons from Feel Real Goods is the natural choice that can leave women feeling good about themselves, their wallets, and the planet.
