Natracare is a British feminine hygiene brand that produces organic and plastic-free menstrual products, including tampons, sanitary pads and panty liners.
According to Hewson, established feminine hygiene companies tried to discredit research into the health risks of chemicals in menstrual products and engaged in a campaign of "harassment in the media and sending lawyers' letters".
Natracare tampons are plastic-free, made with organic cotton, bioplastics and cardboard applicators that are biodegradable.
