Organic Cotton Menstrual Pads, Period Panties, Diva Cups
100% organic cotton feminine hygiene products made in USA and Canada from organic USA cotton.
Get ready for a whole new point of view! Remember period panties and washable natural fiber menstrual pads?? Well, here they are again, but this time made with certified organic cotton. A great non-toxic alternative to dioxin-laden conventional cotton underwear and disposable feminine hygiene products, our washable organic cotton period panties and menstrual pads will also save you lots of money in the long run and keep disposables from clogging up landfills. All are made in USA or Canada from 100% certified organic USA cotton for true purity. Sweatshop-free.
Description: Comes with one additional organic cotton liner on top of the sewn-in liner. More organic cotton liners can be added depending on flow.
With latex liner (completely covered by organic cotton). Choice of 2 styles in the organic cotton period panties: Classic Bikini (full coverage in back) or Full Brief (full coverage front and back)
Extra liners for the heavier flow days can be added (add one, two, or even three liners to the organic cotton period panty when needed). Additional liners are sold in packs of 4.
Latex or no latex? For light flow, our customers generally prefer the pads/panties without a latex liner center, but for others, the latex center is absolutely crucial in preventing any possibility of a leakage. The latex insert is sewn into the center of the pad and entirely covered in certified organic cotton fabric so there is no contact with the skin.
The comfort of certified organic, 100% cotton next to the skin together with the totally chlorine-free, plastic free biodegradable materials, means that our organic cotton washable menstrual pad only leaves a soft footprint on the earth.
Especially when it comes to feminine hygiene products, it's essential to go dioxin-free and chemical-free because dioxin, which is commonly used in conventional feminine hygiene products, is one of the most toxic human-made chemicals that have been linked to cancer.
Many women are unaware that rayon and rayon-cotton blends are widely used in the manufacture of tampons. Rayon is commonly chlorine-bleached, and is a highly absorbent fibre which rapidly absorbs menstrual blood, even acting as a wick to dry out the natural protective mucous lining of the vagina.
Dioxin, a toxic carcinogen, is a by-product of all chlorine bleaching methods and is also found throughout the environment in varying levels as a by-product of pesticide spraying and pollution from incinerators. Dioxin has been found to collect in the fatty tissues of animals, including humans and should, therefore, be a real concern for women. Published scientific reports have shown that evidence is growing that even low levels of dioxins may be linked to cancer, endometriosis, low sperm counts and immune system suppression. Considering a woman may use as many as 11,000 tampons in her lifetime, she may be subjecting herself to additional dioxin exposure.
Our reusable, washable organic cotton tampons are all made from only certified organic 100% cotton. They are non-chlorine bleached and women can be reassured that they do not contain synthetic materials, such as rayon, or chemical additives such as binders or surfactants. Certified organic cotton removes the risk of direct exposure to residues from chemical pesticides and fertilisers used on traditional cotton.
Our organic cotton tampons are made a response to concerns about dioxin pollution caused by chlorine bleaching, the extensive use of pesticide spraying on conventionally grown cotton,
and the use of rayon and other synthetics in tampons.
We never use chlorine bleach in our products.
Being plastic-free means we do not contain any polyethylene, polypropylene or polyacrylate super absorbents, all of which can irritate the skin.
Our organic cotton pads do not contain synthetic materials, chemical additives such as binders or surfactants, fragrances or dyes and because of the organic and natural materials used, are over 95% biodegradable and compostable. The absorbent core of the pad is made from Forest Stewardship Council certified pulp (FSC) and the cover that is next to your skin is certified organic 100% cotton. The pads are individually wrapped in biodegradable purse packs.
