11,000 Good Reasons to Choose Jolie
Did you know a woman may use as many as 11,000 tampons in her lifetime but most of us aren't aware of how our tampons are made or what they're made from.
Many tampons are made from synthetic fibres and cotton grown with chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides which is then bleached with chlorine.
What's Inside Your Tampon is Inside You...
“Organic cotton production is the only farming system by which cotton is produced entirely free of chemical pesticides - and thereby without the risks that such chemicals pose to human health and the environment.” 1
“As well as the potential health benefits, there are environmental benefits of using organic cotton. In total the world’s farmers apply a staggering US$1,310 million of insecticides to cotton each year; outstripping all other major crops in terms of insecticide applications which supports the view that cotton has become the world’s ‘dirtiest’ agricultural commodity.” 2
