Conventional Feminine Hygiene vs Organic Hygiene Products (Tampons and Pads)

The Conventional Feminine Hygiene Products

Yes, there are times we don't mind getting ourselves dirty, running for a good cause is one of them. However, there is also 'the time of the month' when we most definitely want to stay clean, feel comfortable with ourself and most importantly, know what we are putting on (or into) our body.

So let's get straight to it; The conventional sanitary pads and tampons are made of petroleum-based plastic, synthetic fibres, and chlorine bleached wood pulp that release toxic dioxins. This leads to various allergies, causing reproductive, developmental, and immunity related problems.

The infamous Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) may occur due to the use of conventional tampons. It is a rare bacterial infection that gives rise to risk factors like wounds and surgery.

Synthetic fibres that make up modern sanitary products induce a warm and damp microclimate in the nether area which increases the risk of irritation, vaginitis and soreness.

Benefits Of Organic Feminine Hygiene Products

The benefits of using organic products are many. First off, organic hygiene products are made up of 100% organic cotton and are free of chemical additives, chlorine, plastic, synthetic materials, fragrance chemicals, or dyes.
