Natracare Organic Applicator Tampons Regular Absorbency, Biodegradable Card Applicator | 1 Pack of 16 Tampons

These are the best tampons that are good for the environment. No plastic to get rid of and the tampons are hypoallergenic due to being organic, unbleached and no nasties that go into the more well- known brands. Totally recommend and affordable.

The tampon itself is fine and is a good alternative to chemical laden ones, but the applicator sticks so it can be hard to insert properly. I've had to bin a couple for this reason which makes them less the good value. I've found another organic brand that are easier to use, but I would buy Natracare again if I couldn't get hold of the other ones. Edited to add: Having now used these tampons for a few months I've altered my rating to 5 stars. They are just as good as anything I've used before. And having now understood that if you twist the tube slightly, it allows the inner tube to push up far easier I have no problems with inserting them. Yes cardboard will always be a bit harder to use than plastic applicator tampons. But knowing that the cardboard will decompose a huge amount faster than plastic in landfill makes it worth it. These are brilliant, highly recommend them and give them a chance to get used to them if you're switching from plastic applicator ones...it's worth it!

I wanted to try a more natural tampon product than the products offered in the supermarkets which are often bleached and harmful to ph levels. I found this brand and am so glad I did- the product is great, it’s soft and comfortable to wear, just as good as others with the added benefit of being better for the environment. Will definitely continue to buy these and recommend.

I love these products, the only sanitary product that is comfortable to use. However the reason for my 3 stars is based on delivery & the chosen carrier. Not exactly how you want sanitary products to be delivered. Hoping the items inside are still suitable.

Iv been using these a while now . They are value for money and I like that they do not contain harsh chemicals and other products. The applicators are made of white cardboard Esther then plastic which is great for the environment. The only thing I would say in terms of usability, is that occasionally, due to the non plastic applicators, they can be a little fiddly but Iv had no major issues and will continue to use them. Great product.

Just like the top non eco brands. Been using for 4 months and never had a problem once inserted. However, before inserting you need to push the inner tube into the outer tube slightly to release the tampon a little, otherwise the tubes get jammed as you are mid push and you end up having to abort the process and use another one. There seem to be little hooks in the cardboard which makes pushing the inner tube up into the outer tube difficult and these little hooks are not needed.

Absolutely easy to use and very comfortable. Excellent product The only prohibitive aspect is the price - but everyday other brands of non organic tampons are so full of chemicals because cotton is one of the most heavily sprayed crops. I know it shouldn't cost more for organic - but it does and it is a worth investment. If you care about the long lasting effect of chemicals on your health - this product is a great option. The little wrapper on each tampon is a very neutral green paper .

I bought these tampons after the leading brand, Tampax, started causing me problems including itching, bloating and swelling of my lady parts over the last few years. After researching I found that the leading brands of tampons that you can buy in Boots etc use rayon and chlorine-bleached cotton to make their tampons and that dioxin is a by-product of this bleaching process which is a carcinogen. This was enough to make me change to organic cotton tampons and I have not suffered with any of the above problems since changing. No itchiness, pain, swelling or bloating since using these Natracare tampons and they have made my periods a much more bearable time! I will continue to buy these fantastic products, especially now I know I won't be putting carginogenic products inside my body! No issues experienced with absorbancy or long threads etc as mentioned in other reviews, only down side is the lack of 'light' or 'mini' varieties but maybe they will introduce these in the future. I buy them from Amazon who always sell them at a competitive price as the shops in my village don't stock them unfortunately.
