Natural feminine hygiene products and suppliers in Australia.

Cotton tampons and pads contain residues of pesticides used to grow the cotton, as well as chlorine and chemicals containing dioxins to bleach them. Dioxins can increase the risk of cancer.

While these chemicals are only present in tiny amounts, they are in contact with a very sensitive part of the body - and consider that the average woman uses something like 12,000 sanitary products in her lifetime.

The used tampons and pads also create environmental problems, adding to landfill or flushed down toilets into our waterways.

Healthier, more eco-friendly alternatives include organic cotton tampons and pads, and reusable menstrual products such as washable pads or menstrual cups.
