It seemed logical to me without looking in to it too much that organic tampons and sanitary pads would be a good idea. They are not readily available in supermarkets and are for many women an every day essential item. However I thought some of my shoppers would like a bit more detail. Natracare the company that manufactures the products available on the Solution Living site was founded by Susie Hewson out of concern to help protect both women's health and the environment.
Dioxins are the reason why your regular (pardon the pun) sanitary items are an inferior choice. The use of Chlorine in the bleaching of the cotton used to make your run of the mill tampons etc creates dioxins and it is these dioxins that are harmful to both the environment and your health.
According to an article on the Natracare site titled 'Women seek out more natural feminine care products' dioxin has been "linked to cancer, endometriosis, low sperm counts and immune system suppression". The Natracare products are made with organic cotton, no chlorine and no fragrance. "Hewson, explained, "Women simply want to use a product that is natural, and Natracare feminine care gives them that choice. Choosing natural means that you are avoiding potential contact with pesticides, herbicides, dioxin residuals, deodorizes, azo dyes, plastics and synthetics."
