Natracare Organic All Cotton Tampons - Super (Case) are suitable for women with medium flow during their menstrual cycle.

Natracare tampons were developed in direct response to health and environmental concerns about dioxin pollution caused by chlorine bleaching, the extensive use of pesticide sprays on conventionally grown cotton, and the use of rayon and other synthetics in tampons.

Many women are unaware that rayon and rayon-cotton blends are widely used in the manufacture of tampons. Rayon is commonly chlorine-bleached, and is a highly absorbent fiber. Dioxin, a toxic carcinogen, is a by-product of all chlorine bleaching methods and is also found throughout the environment in varying levels as a by-product of pesticide spraying and pollution from incinerators. Dioxin has been found to collect in the fatty tissues of animals, including humans, and should therefore be a real concern for women. Published scientific reports have shown growing evidence that even low levels of dioxins may be linked to cancer, endometriosis, low sperm counts and immune system suppression. Considering a woman may use as many as 11,000 tampons in her lifetime, she may be subjecting herself to additional dioxin exposure.

Natracare tampons are made only from certified organic 100% cotton and are the only fully certified organic cotton tampons available in the world today. They are non-chlorine-bleached and women can rest assured they do not contain synthetic materials such as rayon or chemical additives such as binders or surfactants. Certified organic cotton removes the risk of direct exposure to residues from chemical pesticides and fertilizers used on traditional cotton.
