Natracare Night Time pads are contoured to comfortably fit the shape of your body. The soft, fluffy, absorbent core, made from totally chlorine free pulp, quickly absorbs the menstrual fluid and locks it away so that the soft cover allows your skin to breath whilst at the same time keeping you dry. The Natracare regular pad is narrower towards the middle of the pad so that it fits the contours of the body more readily. They are individually wrapped so that they can be kept discretely in your bag. Why Natracare pads? 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. 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 over 95% biodegradable and compostable. The Natracare pads are made from certified organic 100% cotton and natural cellulose materials derived from renewable and sustainable sources and are over 99% biodegradable and compostable. Natracare's totally chlorine-free and 100% plastic-free pads provide the natural choice for women - helping you to avoid the synthetic materials such as rayon, the plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene, chlorine bleaches which releases toxic dioxins, petroleum derived super absorbents, latex and skin irritants and chemicals such as fragrances and dyes, which are present in so many other feminine hygiene products.
