Seventh Generation recently sent me a ton of their feminine care products to review and offered to host a giveaway package for one lucky reader! Let me start off by saying that I totally advocate cloth pads because they are reusable, but let's be honest. Most women are looking for the convenience of disposable pads and tampons.
Seventh Generation feminine care is a good choice because they are made from organic cotton and are 100% chlorine free! If you are looking for an alternative to use then Seventh Generation is much, much more eco-friendly than traditional pads and tampons and keeps more chemicals out of your body. 100% cotton, what's there to complain about?!?
I tried them out, and can say that:
1. They don't have that stupid irritating plastic that rubs and chafes like most commercial pads and
2. They are super comfortable and convenient. I will admit it. I love cloth, but these are easy which is cool.
3. I love the logo/motto "In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations" a saying that is from The Great Law of The Iroquois Confederacy. When you have kids, nothing can be more important than thinking about the future and what kind of environment we are leaving behind.
If you want something to use while your are out and about, need a backup for your Diva Cup, or want a healthier alternative to commercially made pads and tampons then check out Seventh Generation. They are now available at Target, Wal-Mart and lots of other stores across the nation.

Following your blog on google ~ If every woman of menstruating age replaced one 16-count package of regular absorbency conventional rayon/cotton (60:40) blend applicator tampons with our organic cotton tampons, we could prevent 14,000 lbs of pesticides from polluting our rivers, lakes and streams.

one reason I prefer organic tampons is because I personally dont like the idea of putting chemicals & other yucky things inside my body...plus it is keeping that much more out of our environment!
ReplyDeleteartstitched (at) aol (dot) com
following your blog now.. I learned that the top cover sheet on pads are a non-woven polyolefin cover sheet. I'm eager to try it out as I'm allergic to many brands of pads.

GFC follower of your blog as lewalk. I learned that by using organic I am not only saving toxins from being released into the environment, I am keeping them from being released into my body. Yuck!
ReplyDeletelewalk(at)hotmail(dot)com
I would much prefer organic to my chemical filled products because I, and most of my family, are prone to female related problems such as infections and the sort. If changing to organic can save us from so many then bring them on. Lol. Thanks for the chance to try.
ReplyDeletelewalk(at)hotmail(dot)com
I follow you via GFC. I learned that conventional tampons are commonly made from a blend of cotton and rayon. Rayon is typically treated with chlorine dioxide, which can result in dangerous chlorinated toxins being released into the environment. But seventh generation are chlorine-free!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather use organic tampons for the same reason people choose organic foods, so that I KNOW what's going inside me!
