6 Feminine Hygiene Products That Are Free Of Scary Toxins

Ensuring your family is safe from toxins extends beyond the dinner table and types of cleaning products you use. For some it means only utilizing feminine hygiene products that are crated organically, and therefore free of potentially harmful toxic chemicals.

Feminine hygiene products are an interesting case study when it comes to ensuring they don’t contain toxins, since they’re technically medical devices. As medical devices, manufacturers aren’t required to provide the same type of clarity when it comes to ingredients as the manufacturers of many other consumer products. As Prevention.com explains, feminine hygiene products that contain rayon and polyester “can release BPA and other phthalates” when they come in contact with body fluids. What’s of most concern is that long-term exposure to the above toxins has been associated with “hormone imbalances and immune suppression.”

Below is a list of 3 examples of organic hygiene products women in your families can use, and links to purchase them:
