sorry about the terrible photo, overcast today! |
Yes, this is a review of sanitary products. I know it's not something everyone wants to read about but this is actually important to me as I am allergic to most options out there. In the spirit of honesty, I'm going to be as explicit as I need to to get my point across so if you don't want to read about it, I suggest you stop now.
I received these samples in my September '14 Nature's Beauty Bag. (see what else I got here) I was quite excited to try these out as I suffer an allergic reaction to sanitary products EVERY SINGLE month. I currently use TOMS products which are the best I have found so far, however I still react to these. I use tampons during the day, but don't like to use them at night as I just don't think it's healthy. As anyone who has ever had an itchy allergic reaction can imagine, this does not make for a good night's sleep.
This company offers a full range of sanitary products which are 100% certified organic cotton. They are breathable and biodegradable. They are hypoallergenic and don't contain any plastic - this refers to the packaging also. They appear to be comparable to all other products of this type as far as pricing goes ($6.95ea). Both the product and the packaging do feel different to the touch than similar products, and even to my TOMS products which are also 100% organic cotton.
I only received 1 pad and 1 liner so my experience of them is fairly limited. ~~~ Warning, this is where I actually talk about using these items, how taboo! ~~~
I decided that I would wear the pantie liner during the day at work. I was also using a tampon but I just wanted to see how my skin would react to it. It pretty much didn't. This is a five hour shift of walking around in a warm atmosphere so that's pretty good. I used the pad that night after getting home from work and slept it it. Again, I didn't appear to have a reaction. This is really very good because I usually have to remove a pad half way through the night after the itching has kept me up all night. They are also very comfortable to wear.
I must say that I am impressed. I would stress however, that I have only used 1 of each item so I can't say that I would never have a reaction. I will say that my lack of a reaction is very promising. I will be purchasing these products, and the tampons to give them all a go. If I do find myself reacting, I will update this post.
I also think that these products would be suitable to people who just want to use as natural a product as they can. Given the way in which tampons in particular are used, the fewer chemicals the better.
If anyone reading this suffers from the same problem I do and has found a product that works, share it with me please!
