Natracare Organic Cotton Ultra Extra Pads Long, 12x8 Pieces

Did you know conventional sanitary pads and liners are made up of 90% plastic materials?! Every year, over 45 billion sanitary pads and liners are disposed of! Most are full of synthetic materials such as plastic that do not break down in the earth for hundreds of years.  This is why in 1989, Natracare developed the world’s first range of natural menstrual hygiene products, and they have been perfecting them ever since.

Plastic-free and totally chlorine-free, they do not contain rayon, latex, chemical additives, fragrances or dyes. Pads are worn inside the pants and stay in place by sticking to your underwear. They absorb the blood after it has passed through the vagina and out of the body.  An ecologically certified absorbent cellulose core locks away menstrual fluid to keep you dry, and a soft organic cotton cover allows your skin to breathe. Many gynaecologists recommend Natracare for women with sensitive skin.

There are different types and absorbencies available. Natracare pads are available in 2 models (thinner ultra pads with wings and thicker 'traditional' maxi pads). Choosing a style of sanitary pad is less important than getting the correct absorbency to suit your menstrual flow. Both models are made in more types of size and absorbency.

Natracare Ultra Extra Pads

The slim style of the Ultra pad is very discreet with the added security of wings. The absorbent core absorbs the menstrual fluid and locks it away so that the soft organic cotton cover allows your skin to breath whilst at the same time keeping you dry. Ultra Extra Pads are a super soft, extra absorbent version of Natracare ultra pads with double layer absorbent core instead of single layer.

Soft certified organic cotton cover allows your skin to breath.
Double layer compressed (non-fluffed) TCF (non-chlorine bleached) cellulose absorbent core, certified to FSC standards.
Waterproof plant-based back made from corn starch.
Oxygen to purify and whiten organic cotton instead of chlorine bleaching that creates a carcinogenic by-product called dioxin
