By choosing 100% organic cotton tampons, women avoid exposure to dangerous chemicals, pesticides, and synthetics while doing good for the earth. Organic cotton tampons are a direct response to health and environmental concerns about dioxin pollution caused by chlorine bleaching, the use of rayon in tampons, and the extensive use of pesticides on conventionally grown cotton.

Quick Facts:
- If you are not using organic all-cotton tampons, the tampons you are using could be chlorine-bleached and may contain rayon and additives. Unknown to most women, rayon and rayon-cotton blends are widely used in the manufacture of tampons. The rayon used in tampons is chlorine-bleached.
- Chlorine-bleaching produces dioxins, a powerful carcinogen.
- A woman uses over 11,000 tampons in her lifetime
- In tampons, all-cotton (100% cotton) is the preferred choice over rayon or rayon-cotton blends to reduce the risk of menstrual-related Toxic Shock Syndrome.
- There are no regulations concerning the listing of ingredients in tampons
