One of the sponsors of the CT NOW Love Your Body 5K is the fantastic company Seventh Generation. They have a somewhat new line of organic tampons and we'll be giving them out to participants of the run/walk.
You might be wondering, why organic tampons? Deanna Neil says it best:
"The average maxi-pad or tampon is chlorine bleached, which releases toxins into the environment when made, and could also leaves residuals in your or your loved ones vagina. Gross. No one wants a toxic vagina. The dioxins used in chlorine bleaching get stored in the fat in our bodies and never, ever go away. They just accumulate with time. And yes, they are carcinogenic. Maxi-pads are increasingly being made with plastics ... enough said."
You might be surprised to find out that organic tampons are reasonably priced, equal to OB or Kotex. If you want to try something totally new, go for the Diva Cup. I think I'm giving it a try this month! Perhaps I will report back, unless it's too much information for you, our readers!
