Natracare Feminine Hygiene Products
While most of the world is focusing on gas guzzlers, plastic shopping bags and light bulbs, Natracare has been tending to another consumable that very few women consider a threat to the environment

For women’s health as well as the environments, Natracare’s products, which include sanitary pads, panty liners, tampons and maternity pads, are made with 100 percent organic cotton,
are biodegradable and totally chlorine-free, and made from sustainable and renewable resources.
Natracare products are available at natural food stores and upscale pharmacies and supermarkets (you can also find them online at various eco-product websites). For more information or to find a
retailer near you, visit Natracare.com.
Cost: Prices vary, check with your local or online retailer
