Most brands of tampons are made from a mix of rayon and non-organic cotton, and are commonly chlorine-bleached. Rayon is a highly absorbent fibre which rapidly absorbs menstrual blood but at the same time can also dry out the natural protective mucous lining of the vagina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe believe that women should not be exposed to pesticide residues, phthalates, azo-dyes and dioxins, especially in such a sensitive and absorptive part of the body.

The material used to make this biodegradable applicator tube is totally chlorine-free. The organic cotton wadding of the Natracare applicator tampon is designed to expand lengthways, elongating as the menstrual flow is gently absorbed. The organic cotton withdrawal cord allows you to easily remove the tampon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe applicator tubes of many brands are often made from plastic. One of the chemical groups found in plastic are phthalates, which can be absorbed through the skin. Disposal of these plastic products contributes to global marine pollution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatracare and Toxic Shock Syndrome:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndependent research, conducted at New York University Medical School, suggests that the use of 100% cotton tampons may reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome compared with tampons that contain rayon. Natracare 100% cotton tampons were included in this research, and in the tests they did not produce the bacteria which leads to Toxic Shock Syndrome. All brands containing rayon did produce the bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Organic Pantry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56649630646652,"sku":"TAMP3","price":3.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6287\/8844\/files\/Tampons_regular_applicator_natracare.jpg?v=1776442013","url":"https:\/\/comingsoon.theorganicpantry.co.uk\/products\/tampon-with-applicator-regular-natracare-x16","provider":"The Organic Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
