Organic Tampons

What are organic tampons? Why are organic tampons better?

Organic tampons are biodegradable and will break down naturally over time, unlike many conventional tampons which often contain plastics or synthetic fibers that can remain in landfills indefinitely.Organic cotton farming steers clear of harsh chemicals and pesticides, which promotes biodiversity, preserves soil health, and safeguards water sources.

So, why use organic tampons? Switching to organic tampons is a healthy and eco-conscious choice that is gentler on the body and on the environment.

What are the best organic tampons?

MightyNest carries two trusted, reputable, beloved and pioneering brands that meet our rigorous standards and offer exceptionally high-quality organic period care products.

Natracare

Natracare, founded in 1989 by environmental activist Susie Hewson, was the first established organic period care brand to offer an alternative to conventional tampons and pads. Natracare tampons are made from 100% organic cotton, are hypoallergenic, and are completely biodegradable. Many gynecologists recommend Natracare for those with sensitive skin or allergies to irritants. Natracare products reduce contact with chlorine bleached materials, latex, plastic and super absorbents made from petrochemicals.

Conventional tampons are often made with rayon, viscose and other synthetic materials that can shed an alarming amount of fibers and microplastics into the body during use which may increase the risk of bacterial infections and irritation. Natracare uses only long fiber, 100% organic cotton that readily interlocks when wet, helping to manage your period whilst reducing risk of fiber loss.

All of the cotton used for Natracare products are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).

Rael
