Is it better than regular products? Who is benefiting from it? What prerequisites are there to call a menstrual care product organic?

Cotton is not naturally as pristine white as we would like to imagine. To make cotton free from everything you can find in a field – insects, dirt, etc. – it needs to be treated in some way. For every kilogram of cotton, 10,000 liters of water are needed. With organic production water still has to be used for the cotton plant to grow, but instead of overusing groundwater, organic farming often focuses on restraining resources and reusing rainwater for cultivation.

Organic cotton must be certified to be allowed to be called as such. The cotton should be produced completely without chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Also, the land where the cotton is grown must have been free of chemicals for at least three years. Choosing toxin-free cotton demonstrates that you not only care about Mother Earth and your fellow human beings, but also about yourself by avoiding exposure to toxic chemicals.
