Non-Applicator 100% Organic Cotton Tampons, Super, Totally Chlorine Free, Biodegradable and Compostable (1 Pack, 20 Tampons Total)

This is my go to brand. In a world filled with toxic chemicals I like to know what I’m putting in my body. Super comfortable as well

Got these after realizing how much junk is passed off in everyday women's hygiene products. Also didn't realize how much I was paying for a bunch of plastic to take up my tampon box. I only need to buy these about 4 times a year, and they hardly take up any space under my sink. Very discrete and easy to hide away in purse. The only reason I'd ever use another tampon is if I had to borrow one last minute. My new and forever go-to.

I believe that things have come a long way with regards to feminine hygiene products and now you can purchase certified organic feminine products and why would you use anything else? If you eat organic foods, but then you are ok will using products in/near the most private area of your body that is made with commercially grown cotton grown with pesticides (in the top for pesticide use)? There is no excuse anymore! Stop spending money on other things that are not going to do anything to improve or further your health in any way and then say you can't afford to buy organic feminine hygiene products. If you still have doubts then read up more on the website for this company as they give you a lot of great information. Please share this with all the women in your life - family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. I checked out the website for the organic trade association and here is info from the site on cotton (you can go to the site yourself to read more). Here are some reasons why organic cotton production is important to the long-term health of the planet. Cotton is considered the world's 'dirtiest' crop due to its heavy use of insecticides, the most hazardous pesticide to human and animal health. Cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop. Aldicarb, parathion, and methamidopho, three of the most acutely hazardous insecticides to human health as determined by the World Health Organization, rank in the top ten most commonly used in cotton production. All but one of the remaining seven most commonly used are classified as moderately to highly hazardous. Aldicarb, cotton's second best selling insecticide and most acutely poisonous to humans, can kill a man with just one drop absorbed through the skin, yet it is still used in 25 countries and the US, where 16 states have reported it in their groundwater. Cotton uses approximately 25% of the world's insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides (including herbicides, insecticides, and defoliants.). (Allan Woodburn) Approximately 10% of all pesticides sold for use in U. S. agriculture were applied to cotton in 1997, the most recent year for which such data is publicly available. (ACPA) Fifty-five million pounds of pesticides were sprayed on the 12.8 million acres of conventional cotton grown in the U.S. in 2003 (4.3 pounds/ acre), ranking cotton third behind corn and soybeans in total amount of pesticides sprayed. (USDA) Over 2.03 billion pounds of synthetic fertilizers were applied to conventional cotton in 2000 (142 pounds/acre), making cotton the fourth most heavily fertilized crop behind corn, winter wheat, and soybeans. (USDA) The Environmental Protection Agency considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton in 2000 in the United States as "possible," "likely," "probable," or "known" human carcinogens (acephate, dichloropropene, diuron, fluometuron, pendimethalin, tribufos, and trifluralin). (EPA) In 1999, a work crew re-entered a cotton field about five hours after it was treated with tribufos and sodium chlorate (re-entry should have been prohibited for 24 hours). Seven workers subsequently sought medical treatment and five have had ongoing health problems. This ought to open your mind to research more about the products you use! Be proactive and take control of your life and your health!

Love these tampons. Have been using them for 20+ years. They are compact for taking on-the-go. They are also organic, bleach free. (Good for the lady parts.) While I know some women hate tampons without applicators, I can't get over the waste of applicators. We spend less than 1 second using them, and they stay in a landfill for years. This is a more environmentally friendly option. One way women can reduce their impact on planet Earth.

I am trying to be eco-conscious on the products I buy and use. So I wanted to find something natural for my monthly natural "occurrence" (lol). Pretty self explanatory on how to apply this. I am actually impress for how small the thing is that is absorbs good amount for medium bleeders. I don't think it would be good for heavy users if so, you'll definitely change it more often. As for no applicator, I don't see the big deal. Its really fine, nothing difficult to apply it. Overall, glad I am reducing my waste consumption.

Overall I think these are a great alternative to store brands! They're cheaper and don't come with a applicator (so I feel like I'm not negatively adding more junk into the environment), I also feel like I'm getting better quality cotton (with none of the chemicals I don't want in my body). The only issue I had was on heavy flow days, there was some leakage. I don't think these are quite as absorbant as other brands, so I purchased the Super. So far so good with the higher absorbency.

Only tampons I will ever use. Non toxic but perform great! These don’t have an applicator but I actually like these more. They are easy to insert and very discreet in your pocket or purse.

I used OB tampons for years in an attempt to reduce the amount of waste produced by my tampon habit. After you get used to the lack of an applicator, it's really no big deal. Then, after considering the health implications of putting synthetic materials and chemically treated cotton into my body, I made the switch to organic tampons about 10 years ago. Not only would I rather have organic cotton in by body than synthetics for obvious reasons of preferring natural materials, but I've also read that they pose less risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. I've tried a number of brands, but have found NatraCare to be my favorite for their ease of use, price, and ready availability on Amazon. One of my favorite things about these is that they are constructed well. As they absorb fluid, they unfold in a flower sort of shape that catches everything very efficiently. I can count on them to work, no matter what I'm doing. The tiny little individually wrapped tampons are also super discreet, and can fit into any little pocket without causing a scene. I've been using these for nearly 3 years, and will continue to buy!

Natracareのタンポンを、使用しているのですが…アプリケーターが無いのを間違えて購入してしまいましたが、 こちらも使用出来るので、 使わせて頂きます。

Depuis que j'ai pris connaissance des dangers mortels de porter des tampons fabriqués par les grands et puissants industriels, je n'utilise que des tampons bio de Natracare. Tout en coton bio, aucun produit toxique de blanchiment, je vous recommande ce produit confortable pour ma santé et mon corps. Reçu dans les délais, ce vendeur est sérieux et de plus ses prix sont beaucoup plus intéressants qu'en magasin bio de ville. Je vous recommande et ce produit et ce vendeur.

Ne supportant plus du tout les serviettes et tampons de grande surface et n'étant pas très à l'aise avec la cup, j'ai tenté ceux-là. Merci de me permettre de nouveau de porter des tampons. Plus aucune réaction comme avec tous les autres tampons. Bonne absorption, confort.

I've used Natracare for over 15 years and would not choose to use anything else. The range has tampons wth or without applicators so it's a case of choosing the right ones. The products are safe and have no toxic reactions like most other brands. The range has super plus to regular in tampons and they all work really well as well as the products. I would definitely recommend these, especially to young women who want to use safe womens care products - best to avoid the other brands as they're full of nasties that harm accumulatively and over time cause a range of reactions.
