Organic Period Products

When it’s “that time of the month”, your skin spends a great deal of time in constant contact with your tampons or pads of choice. As obvious as this is, many tend to overlook the implications of it. When you use products that are not certified organic, this means that, for long periods of time, you’re putting your most sensitive skin in contact with: 

• Chlorine 
• Artificial fragrances 
• Artificial dyes 
• Pesticides 

Yikes. Even at a glance, you know these are things that you know you don’t want on your skin all day long for a week at a time – much less inside of you. Organic products forego these nasty additives to give people everywhere what they need without all the unnecessary, unwanted junk. Plus, the lack of pesticides, dyes and chemicals make them a lot more eco-friendly once they find their way into the trash!

When it comes to caring for sensitive skin, it’s hard to beat natural, organic cotton. Cotton that’s been left untreated by chemicals of any sort are ideal for use as tampons and pads simply because they’re so absolutely gentle on skin. From a soft, comfortable outer layer to a thicker, absorbent inner layer, the best period products are made of nothing but pure, unadulterated cotton.

Making the switch to organic tampons comes with a whole host of benefits for bodies of all shapes and sizes. Some of these include: 

• They don’t contain pesticide residue from inorganic growing practices. 
• They don’t have chemicals in them that could disrupt your endocrine system and mess with your hormones. 
• They’re completely biodegradable – even the plastic applicators are made of comfy bio-plastic. 
• Some people report less severe cramps after the switch. 
• Overall a gentler option for the most sensitive section of the body. 

Cotton tampons are beneficial because they simply don’t contain chemicals you don’t want, so they won’t transfer them into your system during use.

If pads are more your style, don’t worry. Organic pads have plenty of their own benefits as well. These include: 

• No plastic fiber content, making them more breathable. 
• Natural cotton is soft, and soothes skin rather than causing irritation or even allergic reactions like some synthetic pads do. 
• Take less energy and water to produce than synthetic pads. 

From keep your skin healthy and feeling good to being a bit more environmentally friendly, making the switch to organic simply changes your life – or at least your period – for the better.
