Menstration
- Of course I am bias and it shows but here is a page dedicted to manufactures of natural femenine products. I think it is well worth seeking out this change in consumerism especially if you suffer from frequent yeast infections, vaginal irritation, Vulvadynia, or have allergies! If you think about all the chemicals we use daily in forms of perfumes, deodorants, and soaps why would we want to add more in our most sensitive areas, compound that with the fact that we do not know what the combined effects of the chemical agents are?? So why would you want to insert/use anything but a natural fiber tampon or sanitary napkin?? Who really knows the long term effects of these (COMBINED) chemicals on your body and your reproductive equipment! Such as Cancer or birth defects, IMHO in addition I have a page on how to take care of your vulva very useful if your having pain or vaginal discharges and want to learn how to"Tender Lovingly Care" for yourself! Not a medical resource but is compilied of common sense remedies!
