Product Review: Natracare Organic All Cotton Tampons

If you are looking for good, absorbent, all-natural organic tampons, I highly recommend the organic cotton tampons made by Natracare. Organic tampons are as easy to use as regular cotton tampons, but are non-toxic, better for the planet, and carry a much lower risk of cancer and toxic shock syndrome.

Natracare natural organic all cotton tampons are made without the use of harsh chemicals. No chlorine bleach is used to whiten the cotton used for these tampons. They also do not contain plastic or chemical additives which can cause toxic shock syndrome. No surfactants are used in Natracare tampons and they are free of cheap additives such as rayon fibers. They are made from 100% organic cotton.

Natracare natural organic all cotton tampons are better for the environment as well. Very little packaging is used, unlike regular tampons. The tampons are very small. The regular absorbency tampons are about 1/2 inch wide and less than 2 inches long. They are shaped and sized much like an OB tampon. Because they are so small, no applicator is necessary. You can simply insert the tampon painlessly using one finger. If you are uncomfortable with this method, Natracare also makes organic cotton tampons with biodegradable applicators.

Natracare organic tampons are completely biodegradable as are their applicators. Very little plastic is used in the manufacturing of these tampons. Each is surrounded by a tiny thin plastic wrapper. The tampons come tightly packed into a very small paper box which is recyclable.

Organically grown cotton is better for both you and the environment. Because cotton is not considered a food crop, there are few restrictions on the pesticides that can be used on cotton. As a result, cotton is the most highly fumigated crop in the world. These toxic chemicals are dangerous for the environment and may also be dangerous to women who use them in internal products such as tampons. Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides and is better for both you and the planet.

Natracare organic all cotton tampons are highly absorbent. Because they are made of 100% absorbent cotton and contain no non-absorbent filler fibers such as rayon or acrylic, Natracare organic tampons are more absorbent than regular tampons. They are great to use even if you are very active. As a surfer, I prefer using Natracare tampons. I know that they will not leak, no matter how active I am at sports.

If you are searching for great organic cotton tampons, try looking for the Natracare brand. They are sold in most natural food stores and some conventional grocery stores and drug stores have begun carrying them. They are highly absorbent, completely biodegradable, non-toxic, and better for both you and the environment.
