Natracare feminine hygiene products were created in 1989 by Susie Hewson out of concern for the damaging effects of dioxin pollution on women's health and the environment and today the Natracare menstrual pads and certified organic 100% cotton tampons are available worldwide, offering women a quality, natural choice.  

Natracare tampons and pads are chlorine free, made form organic cotton and natural materials and above all, women want to restrict their contact with synthetic materials, unnecessary chemicals and additives. 

Women suffering from skin allergies, irritation, soreness and itching, may find their symptoms are worse during their period.  Many women have found relief after using Natracare products because they are made from organic 100% cotton that is not chlorine beached and are free from rayon, binders, plastics, surfactants, resins and fragrances.  Natracare pads do not contain polyacrylate absorbents or plastics which, when close to the skin, may cause irritation. 

Results of a study published in “The Journal of Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynaecology” suggest that the use of 100% cotton tampons may reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (which is a rare but fatal dis-ease caused by a particular type of bacteria that can produce toxins in the body.  The symptoms of TSS come on fast and are often severe) compared with tampons that contain rayon. 

Pesticide use is widespread in the world and is harmful to humans and our environment.  Making organic choices helps reduce environmental pollution and personal exposure to dioxins.  Natracare products are between 95% and 100% biodegradable and compostable.   

Its only natural to make the switch to Natracare.
