Product Description

Healthier by nature. Totally chlorine free (TCF). Perfume free. Plastic-free. Biodegradable. Extra soft cover. Natural materials. Natracare feminine hygiene products were created in 1989 by Susie Hewson out of concern for the damaging effect of dioxin pollution on women's health and the environment and today Natracare menstrual pads and certified organic 100% cotton tampons are available worldwide, offering women a quality, natural choice. Why natural pads? For each monthly cycle, it makes sense to choose a pad that is made from natural materials. Many gynecologists have advised women with sensitive skin to use Natracare pads to reduce their contact with chlorine bleached materials, and also products containing synthetics and superabsorbents made from petrochemicals. For over 15 years, Natracare has been trusted by women seeking a chemical-free choice in tampons, pads, panty liners and feminine wipes. Natracare Organic cotton tampons and chemical free pads are high quality products made from only pure and natural materials that are not chlorine bleached and are free of rayon, plastics and other similar synthetic materials that have a negative impact on our environment. Natural absorbent layer. Biodegradable layer. Adhesive strip for secure hold. Extra soft cover to keep you dry and comfortable. Wings. Made in Sweden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pads for us and the environment, September 19, 2007

I love these pads. I switched over from Always because I was trying to find something that is better for the environment, but I didn't like the idea of washing cloth pads. For a light or medium flow, the regulars are great. For a heavier flow, I go back to my Always overnights because where I get the regulars do not sell the super size. :( I have also noticed a decrease in yeast infections by using these since they are toxic chemical free. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for sensitive women, August 3, 2006

This review is from: Natracare Natural Ultra Pads with Wings, Regular, 14 Count Boxes (Pack of 12) (Health and Beauty)

If you're like me and always get itchy a couple of days after using conventional pads (which is a result of the skin not breathing), then these pads are for you. Since they allow the skin to breath, I assume that they're also great for women who get cronic yeast infections (which can be a result of the skin not breathing since non-cotton panties can cause yeast infections). These are also the only Natracare brand pads that are individually wrapped, so you can put them in your purse, backpack, etc.

An update: now Natracare does offer another individually wrapped pads: the are ultra pads with wings that are super, and they are good for heavy overnight usage (they expanded their lines of products because before they only had no wing super ones for overnight).

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable but tiny, September 25, 2010

This review is from: Natracare Natural Ultra Pads with Wings, Regular, 14 Count Boxes (Pack of 12) (Health and Beauty)

I have been wanting to try these for a long time but didn't because of the price. I decided to suck it up and try them after all. I like that they are biodegradable, even the protective "plastic" layer is made of corn. I got the regular ones since the store didn't have the longer ones and they are very comfortable and thin. The problem though is that they are not very absorbent. For heavy flow you would have to change very often, which means that you would use more pads and at this price it would end up being very expensive. I am thinking of using them only on the last couple of days of my period, because using them on the first day was a bit of a disaster (I don't need to be stressed about leaks, especially when I am at work, thank you).
