Plastic-Free Period Products
Natracare Makes Its Plastic-Free Period Products From Organic Cotton
Adam Harrie — May 15, 2026Natracare has offered fully plastic-free period products since before sustainable personal care entered the mainstream conversation, building a line of pads, tampons and liners from 100% organic cotton and renewable plant-based materials, with no synthetic fragrances, rayon or hidden chemicals. The category of plastic-free period products has largely been overlooked, despite a single pack of conventional pads containing as much plastic as five carrier bags.
The brand’s fully biodegradable wipes are infused with essential oils, and the full product line is designed to perform as effectively as conventional alternatives.
Natracare shows that period care, one of the most overlooked consumer categories, which carries a significant plastic footprint, a problem that organic, plant-based alternatives have quietly addressed for decades.
