Certified Organic Cotton * Non-chlorine bleached * Perfume free * Natural materials * Extra soft cover * Plastic free * Biodegradable

Women can be reassured that Natracare Maxi pads do not contain synthetic materials, plastic, chemical additives such as binders or surfactants, fragrances, polyacrylate super absorbents or dyes and because of the natural materials used they are 100% biodegradable
and compostable.

Natracare Regular Maxi pads are comfortably padded to give confident and secure protection for moderate flow. The soft, fluffy, absorbent core, made from totally chlorine free pulp, quickly absorbs the menstrual fluid and locks it away so that the soft, 100% organic cotton cover allows your skin to breath whilst at the same time keeping you dry.

The Regular Maxi pad is suitable for light to medium flow.

Being plastic-free means Natracare does not contain any polyethylene, polypropylene or polyacrylate super absorbents, all of which can irritate the skin.

Women today are conscious of the need to restrict their contact with synthetic materials and unnecessary chemicals and 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 and 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, and also products containing synthetics, latex and super absorbents made from petrochemicals. Every year, billions of plastic laden pads are disposed of, and 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 and 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 and natural materials that are made from plant cellulose. They are not chlorine bleached and are free of rayon, plastics and other similar synthetic materials that have a negative impact on our environment. They are comfortable and reliable and available in different absorbencies and styles. The regular pad is narrower towards the middle of the pad so that it fits the contours of the body more readily, whilst the Slender and Super pads are the same width all along the pad’s length for a more traditional fit. 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.

Ingredients: Cellulose from wood pulp, organic cotton, corn starch.

Other maxi pad styles include Super and Night time.

Environmental accrediting:

Nordic Ecolabelling criteria is based on life cycle analyses, from the raw materials used in the production process to the recycling of the finished product. Criteria follow the precautionary principle. For example, when uncertain of the environmental impact of some chemicals or processes, no criteria will be developed for products that contain these chemicals until more knowledge is gained on their environmental consequences. The Nordic Ecolabel is controlled in Sweden by the Swedish Ecolabelling Board.

LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) continues to be a major influence on consumer behaviour and is a growing principle for manufacturers to aspire to.
