Feminine care

Unscented period care with cotton or silicone against the body, without direct-contact plastic.

An organic cotton label may describe only one layer of a pad.  We identify the absorbent core and backing as well as the surface against the skin.  Plastic applicators and other direct-contact plastics are excluded; cotton products and silicone options are assessed according to their design and use instructions.
