Natracare

If we understand the benefits of eating natural foods and using natural skin care products, why are we still using un-natural feminine care products?

Women suffering from skin allergies, irritation, soreness and itching may find their symptoms are worse during their menstrual cycle due to contact with synthetic and plastic ingredients in most sanitary products. But, many women may find relief using Natracare products because their tampons and feminine wipes are made from organic 100 percent cotton that is not chlorine bleached and are free from rayon, binders, plastics, surfactants, resins and fragrances. Natracare pads do not contain polyacrylate absorbents or plastics, which, when close to the skin, may cause irritation. Women who care about the environment choose Natracare products because they are chlorine free, made from organic cotton and natural materials and are biodegradable.

Natracare natural sanitary pads and panty liners are made to provide comfortable, reliable protection while helping to care for the environment and women’s health. The company’s biodegradable sanitary pads offer women products that they can trust and rely upon, because they are free from harmful chemicals and synthetics. Natracare’s product ingredients do not contain anything artificial, including chemicals, colours , harmful parabens, and detergents. The Natracare tampons are certified by the Soil Association.

 

   

 

Mooncup  

 

The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from a special medical grade non-allergic silicone. Silicone is derived from silica which is one of the most abundant minerals on earth.
It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one and it will last several years, with proper care.

The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour.

The Mooncup menstrual cup contains no bleaches, deodorisers or absorbency gels. It does not interfere with your healthy vaginal environment, nor has it been associated with toxic shock syndrome. It will not cause irritation and is suitable for women with sensitive skin, thrush, eczema or allergy. Correctly inserted, the Mooncup is so comfortable that you will forget it exists. The Mooncup can safely be used overnight and is great for all sports, including swimming.

The Mooncup can be cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising fluid, or by boiling for five minutes in an open pan of water. Unlike pads and tampons the Mooncup menstrual cup is reusable, eliminating the need to carry bulky spares.

Imagine the towels and tampons that you will be disposing of in landfill sites during those years!

 

Mooncup is available in two models.

Model A is recommended for women who have given birth vaginally or who have had a caesarean section and aged 30 or above.

Model B is recommended for women who have not given birth or who have had a caesarean section and aged below 30.

Please ensure that you select the correct model. For hygiene reasons we cannot exchange Mooncups once they have been dispatched

Please note that women over the age of 30 years old are increasingly likely to need the Model A regardless of giving birth. This is because the tone of vaginal and pelvic floor muscles naturally reduces with age but to varying degrees in different women. Some activities will maintain tone, such as yoga, pilates, dance, so if you are advanced in any these, or similar activities take this into consideration when choosing which model you need. Corrective surgery to the vagina will also have implications.
