Natracare feminine hygiene products were created in 1989 by Susie Hewson out of concern for the damaging effects of dioxin pollution on women's health and the environment and today the Natracare menstrual pads and certified organic 100% cotton tampons are available worldwide, offering women a quality, natural choice.
Why natural pads? For each monthly cycle, it makes sense to choose a pad that is made from natural materials. Many gynecologists have advised women with sensitive skin to use Natracare pads to reduce their contact with chlorine bleached materials, and also products containing synthetics and superabsorbents made from petrochemicals. For over 15 years, Natracare has been trusted by women seeking a chemical-free choice in tampons, pads, panty liners and feminine wipes. Natracare Organic cotton tampons and chemical free pads are high quality products made from only pure and natural materials that are not chlorine bleached and are free of rayon, plastics and other similar synthetic materials that have a negative impact on our environment.

This product is great! Granted I have lighter flows than some but it is a 'regular' (only 2 out of 5 flow rating printed on box). It is so eco-groovy being organic cotton and totally biodegradable* (non petroleum plastic lining). It's the only thing I will use next to my most delicate of skin! *Note: given that it is super all natural it tends to breakdown quicker and the wings could be a bit larger and more sticky tape. All in all though the best organic disposable pad on the market!

Too stiff...
Doesn't comform well to body -- needs to be softer & more flexible for better comfort. Also, not too absorbant - is best suited for lighter flow days only.

I chose these as they are natural without chemicals but they are SO uncomfortable and hard. I like the fact they have a natural cotton cover but they are so stiff and I find them twisting and bunching when I have them on..wouldn't buy again unless they improve!
I love Natracare products. I don't know where I'd be without them. I used to use tampons, and began having nausea, headaches, chills, etc., during my periods, so I stopped using them and switched to pads, per my doctor's advice. After a few months of using mass-market brand pads, my symptoms returned. I have used Natracare products exclusively for 10+ years now with no problems at all. Thank you for making a clean, pure product for those of us unable to deal with all the plastics, chemicals and scents in commonly available feminine hygiene products. My only complaint (and it's small) is they changed the regular pad with wings; it used to be very soft and pliable, but now it's stiffer and less flexible.
These are so soft! Other pads like they are not made from cotton feel like plastic, but these feel great! They stay in place, while slightly conforming to your body. Absorb nicely. Overall, these are great.

I love Natracare products, they are so soft and comfortable - no comparison to other brands. But, somewhere on the description of this product they should indicate that these are really like panti liners.
I purchased these pads at a natural store in Santa Cruz, because we were out there at the flea market and I needed a pad right away. I was actually pleasantly surprised by these, and I am ordering them today. No they are not the best pads, (I like Kotex a lot) but they dont make me itchy and irritated, and they are "green". The wings are kind of cruddy but if you are changing them as you should they wont be an issue. Overall they need some upgrading, but I feel they will get better like anything once women buy them more often.
I was pretty disappointed with these. I've only started using them, but so far they have not stayed in place at all. Every time I try to use one I eventually have to use a pad from a different brand because I can't trust these to stay in place. If the adhesives were improved I would give them another try, but until then I'll have to use other brands. All that said I do use Natracare panty liners, which are great (and stay in place)!
I started using these pads two years ago when my doctor recommended switching to all cotton, chemical-free products. The relief from skin irritation was noticeable, but I've hoped that Natracare would implement some design changes: as another reviewer mentioned, the wing adhesive isn't great (although it sticks to itself just fine), and the pads tend to bunch. Recently, I discovered Seventh Generation, and I switched.
