100% Organic Tampons With Applicator

Why choose organic cotton tampons?

Women are often unaware that rayon and rayon blends are widely used in the manufacture of tampons. Rayon is commonly bleached with chlorine and is a fiber that absorbs menstrual flow very well and very quickly; however, it can also simultaneously dry out the mucous membrane that naturally protects the vagina.

In our opinion, women should not be exposed to pesticide residues, phthalates, azo dyes and dioxins, especially on such a sensitive and absorbent part of the body. Thanks to the use of 100% organic cotton, and nothing else, you know exactly what you're putting into your body.

What about toxic shock syndrome (TSS)?

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but fatal disease caused by a particular type of bacteria that can generate toxins in the body. Symptoms of TSS are rapid and often severe. The results of a study published in "The Journal of Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynaecology" suggest that using 100% cotton tampons, instead of those containing rayon, may reduce the risk of staphylococcal toxic shock. The study looked at 20 tampon varieties, including Natracare's 100% cotton tampons, and came to the following conclusion: unlike other tampons, 100% cotton tampons do not produce the dangerous SCT toxins of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium.
