Women today are conscious of the need to restrict their contact with synthetic materials & unnecessary chemicals & additives. They are becoming more aware that most of the widely available sanitary pads sold today, contain a blend of chlorine-bleached pulp, polypropylene, polyacrylates & plastic. For each monthly cycle, it makes sense to choose a pad that is made from natural materials. Many gynaecologists have advised women with sensitive skin to use natracare pads to reduce their contact with chlorine bleached materials, & also products containing synthetics, latex & super absorbents made from petrochemicals.
