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. Every year, billions of plastic laden pads are disposed of, & generally they end up in landfill sites to sit unaltered for hundreds of years. Every year, in Britain alone, we would have to dig a hole three hundred feet deep & three hundred feet wide to bury the sanitary pads that are thrown away. Natracare chemical free pads are high quality products made from only pure & natural materials that are made from plant cellulose. They are not chlorine bleached & are free of rayon, plastics & other similar synthetic materials that have a negative impact on our environment. They are comfortable & reliable & available in different absorbencies & styles. The Ultra with wings is a slim pad with the added protection of wings. They are individually wrapped so that they can be kept discretely in your bag.
