Natracare
Natracare began in 1989 when founder Susie Hewson got upset after watching a documentary about the growing danger to human health and the environment from dioxin pollution (which results from pulping industries and the bleaching of paper products). Knowing that there was an unconcerned response from the international period hygiene brands, Susie was determined to come up with an alternative. Natracare became the world’s first alternative to conventionally produced menstrual products and today is the global leading brand of natural and organic menstrual and personal care products.
All of Natracare’s products are made from organic and natural materials, and the company as a whole is committed to the highest ethical standards. All of their products are animal-friendly, vegetarian-approved, gynecologist recommended, sustainably sourced, multi-award winning, certified organic, and totally chlorine-free. Plus, all of their products are biodegradable so make you’re minimizing your impact and not leaving pesky plastics behind.

I love these! I’ve been trying to reduce my waste when it comes to my period for a while now, but since giving birth to my child, I have light incontinence and rectocele, so I haven’t been able to successfully use a menstrual cup. Tampons with applicators, although sometimes easier to insert, have a lot of plastic waste (and the cardboard ones just aren’t comfortable me for me). I’ve tried a few different non-applicator tampons, and these work just as well as any brand available in the grocery store or in an online speciality shop for menstrual products. As long as I continue to have to use tampons, I’ll stick with these. The only thing that would make them better is if they weren’t individually wrapped in plastic. I know they have to be wrapped for sanitary reasons, but I would love to see them wrapped in paper, like some toilet paper companies now do.

Hi, May! These tampons are not wrapped in plastic- Naturacare uses a combination of two different papers to keep them separated and plastic-free 🙂

Hi, Frankie! These tampons are made to be used without an applicator. If you feel more comfortable with an applicator, we have options with those, too!
