Why natural pads? Many gynaecologists have advised women with sensitive skin to use natracare sanitary pads to reduce their contact with chlorine bleaches, synthetics and superabsorbents made from petrochemicals. Natracare Ultra Super pads are made from only certified organic 100% cotton and renewable and sustainable plant cellulose. Suitable for a medium to heavier flow, the pads slim style 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 breathe whilst at the same time keeps you dry. For added convenience the pads are individually wrapped in biodegradable purse packs. Natracare Ultra Super pads do not contain synthetic materials, chemical additives such as binders or surfactants, fragrances, dyes or polyacrylate super absorbents and are totally plastic free and chlorine free. The pads are over 95% biodegradable and compostable. The absorbent core of the pad is made from Forest Stewardship Council certified pulp (FSC).
