That\u2019s why our products are made without plastic or synthetic materials. Instead, we choose organic and natural materials that are breathable, absorbent, and compostable, like soft organic cotton and ecologically certified plant cellulose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only do we make natural and sustainable products, we also invest in the future of our planet. In 2019, we became the first period brand to join <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/tags\/one-percent-for-the-planet\/\">1% for the Planet<\/a>. As members, every year we donate 1% of our annual turnover to environmental NGOs around the world tackling some of our planet\u2019s biggest challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year (2021) we\u2019ve partnered with Bristol-based campaigning organisation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citytosea.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">City to Sea<\/a> to educate the nation about the severity of hidden plastics in period products and empower people with \u2018environmenstrual\u2019 alternatives. We\u2019re excited to announce that 10p from every pack of Natracare plastic-free applicator tampons sold in the UK will go to City to Sea. This comes as part our 1% for the Planet commitment and will help to support City to Sea\u2019s education, lobbying, and campaigning in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li><strong>Tell us something we may not know about Natracare<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve been in the business of making period products better for our bodies and the planet for a long time now \u2013 over 30 years in fact! You may be surprised to know that Natracare was the first period brand in the world to make tampons out of organic cotton. Our founder and owner, Susie Hewson, spent years researching the best raw materials and processing methods, which led her to build her own brand. Natracare was the first alternative brand to the harsh chemical and plastic-filled products on the market, which at the time were the only options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, we became the first period brand to be certified with the Plastic Free Mark for our packaging, and earlier this year for our pads and applicator tampons.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_2021-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11435\" width=\"373\" height=\"247\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\"><li><strong>To someone who has not used Natracare\u2019s products before, what would you say?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s never too late to revolutionise your period. Whether you\u2019ve been having periods for years or you\u2019ve just started, there\u2019s never been a better time to choose period products that are more sustainable and kinder to your body. And going green doesn\u2019t have to mean compromising on performance. Our products work just like the conventional brands you might be used to, but ours make you feel comfortably protected without the use of plastics, perfumes, dyes and chlorine bleaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\"><li><strong>How important is it to switch to plastic free and eco-friendly menstrual products?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many period products are made from non-biodegradable materials that can take up to 500 years to breakdown, meaning most period products will live longer than us! Even when these products do breakdown, they simply turn into micro plastics that continue to pollute our Earth. Period products are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citytosea.org.uk\/campaign\/plastic-free-periods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fifth most common item<\/a> found washed up on Europe\u2019s beaches, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.natracare.com\/why-natracare\/plastic-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3.9 million flushed down the loo every day in the UK<\/a>. Flushed period products pose a huge risk to marine life and the health of our oceans (you should only ever flush the 3 Ps: pee, paper, and poop!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/category\/beauty-health-and-wellbeing\/menstrual-care\/plastic-free.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plastic free period products<\/a> is a small change that makes a huge difference. You\u2019re not only taking ownership of your period protection, you\u2019re also taking ownership of the protection of our planet when you\u2019re on your period.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_2176-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11436\" width=\"365\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_2176-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_2176-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_2176-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_2176-min-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\"><li><strong>Can you tell us about any exciting campaigns that Natracare is a part of?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last 30 years we\u2019ve campaigned for better periods for all. Unfortunately, there\u2019s still some way to go until everyone feels included in the period conversation. We want to change that. This year we launched a new campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.natracare.com\/blog\/its-time-for-supermarkets-to-ditch-period-stigma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rename Don\u2019t Shame<\/a>, calling on supermarkets to change the language they use when signposting period products. We want retailers to move away from outdated terms like \u2018feminine hygiene\u2019 and \u2018sanitary products\u2019 to call period products what they are \u2013 period products! Avoiding the word \u2018period\u2019 creates shame around this natural bodily function. Phrases like \u2018feminine care\u2019 assume that all people who have periods are feminine, when in fact many trans men and non-binary people can have periods too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We think it\u2019s important to support and platform the marginalised voices in the period conversation, so we\u2019ve collaborated with some amazing trans and non-binary creators on our first zine all about gender and periods \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.natracare.com\/shades-of-red-period-zine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a> to read or download Shades of Red \u2013 The Gender Issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\"><li><strong>What would you say is one of Natracare\u2019s biggest goals?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter what the reason is for switching to organic and natural products &#8211; whether it\u2019s for your intimate health or for concerns over plastic pollution &#8211; we want everyone to have access to period care that puts people and planet first. We also want to empower people with the knowledge to help them make sustainable choices. With so much information out there (and a lot of greenwashing), it can be hard to know what\u2019s ethical and sustainable and what isn\u2019t. Through our campaigns, we want to equip consumers with the facts and encourage change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"9\"><li><strong>Why are natural period products good for us, not just for our planet?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plastic isn\u2019t a breathable material and can create a sweaty and uncomfortable environment when kept in close contact with intimate skin. Many people suffer from intimate irritations around the time of their period, and this could be down to the period products they use. In fact, many of our customers tell us this! Many conventional period products are also made from a cocktail of unnecessary ingredients like perfumes, dyes and chlorine bleaching, which can further irritate intimate skin. Natural and organic period products are free from chemicals of concern, pesticide residues and allergens. Our products are made from a few simple, natural materials that are soft on skin and allow it to breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"10\"><li><strong>What is your go-to positive quote?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
