As women we hold A LOT of clout when it comes to choosing what we use each month for our periods. The mainstream brands avaialble to women in Canada contain mainly the same products but in different shapes and sizes. Most women are unaware of the alternatives and the current dangers these mainstream brands hold against us and the environment. It's time we use our clout and demand some alternatives! Why? Well, below are a list of factors every woman should know. Natracare feminine hygiene products is a company whose products should be readily available to women at the largest drug store and hence, where most women nationally purchase their pads and tampons. Read on to find out why :)
1) Dioxin is a well-known carcinogen and byproduct of industrial processes including pesticide spraying and chlorine bleaching of paper products used in making pads and tampons. it is stored in out fat cells forever (eg. found in our breast milk) and bio-accumulates in the environment.
2) Pesticides used in making cotton is harmful to humans and the environment that's why using organic cotton that is pesticide-free reduces environmental pollution and personal exposure to dioxin
3) Mainstream brands are known to cause irritations due to the use of synthetics such as chlorine bleaching, rayon, binders, plastics, surfactants, resins and fragrances contained in their products.
4) Most pads and tampons are filled with synthetic materials such as plastics which do not break down in the earth for hundreds of years and considering every year in North America and Europe 45 billion pads are disposed of, biodegration is highly sigificant!

~ Natracare products is one alternative for women. they use certified organic 100% cotton, are totally chlorine free (TCF), made from natural materials, and thus, biodegradable.
Please sign this petition in an effort to provide Natracare products at Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. so women can become aware of alternatives and can begin a safer, more sustainable lifestyle!

I support all efforts to purify our bodies/minds, and environment. I currently only buy Natracare feminine products and all other certified organic hygiene products. Shoppers Drug Mart is falling behind by not carrying these products. Some products claim to be organic, but still contain harmful ingredients such as parabens and polyethenol. We must educate ourselves and choose products which are healthy for us...The big Drug Stores will follow suit in order to avoid bankrupcy!

Mainstream brand pads and tampons are so harmful to womyn as well as the environment. The word needs to get out there more and there needs to be more options around us to choose from. I want the right to choose! yeay Miss D!
