Why choose organic cotton tampons?

Natracare tampons were developed as a direct response to health and environmental concerns raised by chlorine bleaching and the use of synthetic materials. They are not bleached with chlorine, and women can be reassured that they do not contain synthetic materials, such as rayon or added chemicals.

Certified organic cotton eliminates the risk of direct exposure to residues of chemical pesticides and fertilizers used in conventional cotton.

Many women are unaware that rayon and rayon-cotton blends are widely used in the manufacturing of tampons. Dioxin, a toxic carcinogen, is a byproduct of all chlorine bleaching methods and is found in the environment as a byproduct of pollution.

Published scientific reports have shown that even low levels of dioxins can be linked to cancer, endometriosis, low sperm counts, and suppression of immune systems.
