Whether to use a tampon with or without an applicator is a matter of personal choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 20% of women have a retroverted uterus (the uterus is tilted backwards towards the spine rather than forwards) and insertion with an applicator that is too rigid can be painful. Natracare's applicator-free pad, gently slid into the correct position with the middle finger, facilitates insertion. The organic cotton removal cord makes it easy to remove the tampon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose organic cotton tampons?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen are often unaware that rayon and rayon blends are widely used in tampon manufacture. Rayon is commonly bleached with chlorine and is a fiber that absorbs menstrual flow very well and very quickly; however, it can also simultaneously dry out the mucous membrane that naturally protects the vagina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our opinion, women should not be exposed to pesticide residues, phthalates, azo dyes and dioxins, especially on such a sensitive and absorbent part of the body. Thanks to the use of 100% organic cotton, and nothing else, you know exactly what you're putting into your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about toxic shock syndrome (TSS)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but fatal disease caused by a particular type of bacteria that can generate toxins in the body. Symptoms of TSS are rapid and often severe. The results of a study published in \"The Journal of Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynaecology\" suggest that using 100% cotton tampons, instead of those containing rayon, may reduce the risk of staphylococcal toxic shock. The study looked at 20 tampon varieties, including Natracare's 100% cotton tampons, and came to the following conclusion: unlike other tampons, 100% cotton tampons do not produce the dangerous SCT toxins of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NatraCare","offers":[{"title":"20 units \/ Super Plus","offer_id":13791926648898,"sku":"78212600202","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2222\/3557\/files\/natracare-tampons-en-coton-bio-super-plus-20-unites-la-boite-a-grains_4aa39b80-e675-488f-a603-5df8e2d8c7c6.jpg?v=1774561276","url":"https:\/\/laboiteigrains.com\/en\/products\/100-organic-applicator-free-tampons","provider":"La Boite à Grains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
