About This Product
Natracare Super Plus Non-Applicator Tampons are made of 100% certified organic cotton and nothing else. Super plus absorbency is 12 to 15 g, meant for heavy-flow days at the start of a period. The tampons have no applicator, and the box holds 20.
What they are made of
Each tampon is a rolled wadding of long-fibre organic cotton with an organic cotton string. The cotton is certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard by The Soil Association, under licence GOTS-11347. Natracare uses no rayon, perfume or dyes, and the cotton is totally chlorine free. The cotton is grown without toxic pesticides and is not genetically modified.
The tampon expands widthways as it absorbs. Each one comes in a BPA-free wrapper made from widely recycled plastic, and the box is cardboard.
After use
Because the tampon is pure cotton, it is biodegradable and compostable. Natracare asks that you never flush a tampon; compost it or put it in household waste. The cardboard box can go in paper recycling, and your local authority can say whether it takes the plastic wrapper.
How it compares
Many tampon brands blend rayon with conventional cotton and some add a plastic veil, perfume or dye. These contain organic cotton alone. Natracare also makes applicator tampons in other sizes; this box is the non-applicator version, inserted with a finger.
How to use them
With clean, dry hands, tear the coloured strip and pull off the wrapper, then give the string a quick tug. Push the tampon in with your index finger, aiming up and back towards the small of your back, and leave the string outside. Change it every 4 to 6 hours, alternate with pads, and do not wear one overnight. Always choose the lowest absorbency you need, and read the leaflet in the box before use. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who they suit
They suit people who want an all-cotton tampon for heavy days and are comfortable inserting without an applicator. Because there is no applicator, the box is small and the tampons fit easily in a pocket or bag. For lighter days, Natracare makes regular and super absorbencies in the same organic cotton.

How to Take
Directions
With clean, dry hands, tear the coloured strip and pull the wrapper from both ends of the tampon. Give the string a quick tug to check it is secure. Hold your index finger at the base of the tampon and push it well into the vagina, aiming upwards and backwards towards the small of the back, leaving the string outside.
Change tampons regularly, every 4 to 6 hours, and alternate between tampons and pads. Do not wear a tampon while sleeping. Always use the lowest absorbency you need.
Read the instruction leaflet in the pack carefully before use. Do not flush; compost or dispose of with household waste.
