Some women naturally have concerns about the feminine hygiene products they use. These include allergies, TSS, thrush, synthetics and disposal. Hear what these women say about using natracare feminine hygiene products…

“I have just recently discovered your products, and I am a convert. I applaud both your products and your company's "corporate citizenship." I intend to make sure my local schools are aware of your School Program, I think it and your monthly matrix are fabulous, I wish they had been around when I was a teenager. I think it is also a wonderful stepping stone to getting young women more involved and more knowledgeable about their health and their environment. Bravo to you!” Korie

“I have never used anything else except pads. Knowing that Natracare don’t chlorine bleach their product and they add no perfumes, gives me the assurance that I am doing the best for my body. The product is comfortable too.” Janine

“I can’t believe the difference – I use to suffer a burning sensation when using any type of sanitary products. In fact I was hospitalised after the birth of my first daughter when using supplied hospital pads. Since finding natracare, I no longer “burn”. I am concerned about pollutants from manufacturing industries. Natracare is proud to use wood pulp from managed forests, a chlorine free manufacturing process and biodegradable components. I am proud to support them.”
Rachel

“By the end of my period, my stomach would be bloated and sore. After using Natracare for a couple of months I noticed that this didn’t happen!”
Toni

“I was looking for a product that has no chemicals, perfumes or plastics and found Natracare. I no longer suffer with ‘normal@ itchiness. When mum wins, the whole family wins!”
Monique

“According to my knowledge, I had never suffered with any complications from using normal sanitary products. After being educated about Natracare, I chose to use them for the good of my body and the environment. Since then I have noticed a change! I used always to have a sore throat and headache with my period and these are now gone. I have also noticed the length of my period has shortened. The product is now cheaper (because I don’t use as much) and I enjoy the difference.”
Sharon

“After trying nearly every product on the market, I have finally found one that agrees with my body. I no longer have rashes, itchiness or leaking problems. I feel healthier and more confident.”
Dale

“For some reason period time increased to 8 days plus. I started suffering from headaches. I changed to Natracare and found that the time frame went back to 5 days, not as heavy or painful, nor was I plagued with these headaches.”
Jan

“When using other brands of tampons, I always got an infection after only half an hour of use when in full flow. This resulted in a very bad smell for days after the period had finished. This has never happened to me with Natracare tampons.”
Mrs J.K

“Compared to other brands I have used, Natracare feels the safest and the cleanest, and I no longer have to put up with the irritation, soreness and aches that I thought were part of a normal period. I have been using Natracare products for 22 months now, and I have no-pain periods since using your products – and I really noticed it when I ran out 2 months ago, and had to go back to my old brand for a month!!”
Shelley

“Please make these available in supermarkets as they are far superior to other brands I have used and I have had no thrush-like symptoms since using them!”
Mrs C. P.

“Used to get thrush constantly when I lived in the tropics. Since moving to England in 1991, only getting thrush with antibiotics and occasionally at other times, although I haven’t picked a trigger. My main reason to switch to Natracare is I get severe itching with chlorine bleached tampons – even if only the string is chlorine bleached. In my book, Natracare is A1, even though it is damned hard to locate..”
Jo

“After repeated attacks of thrush, generally just after my period I changed to Natracare. In that time (one year) I have only had thrush once, whereas during the previous 18 months I had at least nine attacks”.
Baker

“4 years ago I was diagnosed with Vulvodynia "The International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD) defines Vulvodynia as chronic vulvar discomfort or pain, characterized by burning, stinging, irritation or rawness of the female genitalia" nva, as well as Lichen Sclerosis/ Planus. "Lichen sclerosis is a poorly recognized chronic inflammatory skin disorder which mainly affects the vulvar and perianal area" lichensclerosis.org  As expected it is very painful.  I had to struggle so much with doctors, the health care system and day to day pain.  It was so reassuring to rely on Natracare products, knowing they were not making my skin and pain problems worse.  The amount of chemicals put in other pads and tampons really scares me, and I think they are the cause to many vulvar problems today, as my doctor would say "they are just eating women's vulva's away!" lol.  Thank you for making a safe and effective product for women.  I have passed the name of your product on to many friends, as well as a nearby chronic pain center where I attend a Vulvar Pain Program with many other women”.
C. S.

“The women who participated in the trial reported a definite improvement when they used the tampons. The women were either candida sufferers or had experienced vulval itchiness or soreness and all expressed some improvement with the tampons and will continue to buy and use them”.
