Natracare Unveils First Period Starter Kit for Eco-Conscious Young Menstruators

Natracare Launches Eco-Conscious First Period Starter Kit

Natracare, a pioneering brand dedicated to environmentally friendly menstruation products, has just announced the release of its First Period Starter Kit. Designed to support young individuals encountering their first period, this innovative kit not only aims to provide essential items but also to foster open dialogue surrounding menstruation while encouraging sustainable practices.

The First Period Starter Kit features several thoughtfully selected items that prioritize health and environmental responsibility, aligning with Natracare's longstanding commitment to sustainable products. One standout achievement is the launch of Natracare's first-ever reusable pad, the Natracare by Eco Femme Organic Cotton Reusable Day Pad. This product, crafted from GOTS certified organic cotton, is completely washable and reusable, providing an eco-friendly option for young menstruators.

In collaboration with Eco Femme, Natracare is keen on offering choices that educate and empower. Providing sustainable options is crucial as many young individuals increasingly recognize the impact of plastic waste on the environment and are eager for alternatives.

Additionally included in the kit is the Natracare by Warmlii Organic Cotton Cherry Stone Thermal Pillow. This microwaveable pillow, filled with cherry stones and encased in organic cotton, offers soothing relief for menstrual cramps, headaches, or aching muscles. With a design that conforms to the body, it serves as an excellent and eco-friendly alternative to traditional hot water bottles.

By providing these kits, Natracare continues its commitment to fostering education and sustainable practices among the next generation. Susie Hewson, the founder of Natracare, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "We want to change the conversation around periods." She noted that many adolescents are acutely aware of plastic pollution and its serious consequences on wildlife, ecosystems, and overall climate health. Natracare aims to equip young menstruators with the knowledge and tools to advocate for change responsibly.

Each kit encompasses a range of products that are organic, plastic-free, and safe for both personal health and environmental sustainability. By reinforcing the message of ecological mindfulness from the onset of menstruation, Natracare strives to encourage individuals to make positive choices that benefit both themselves and the planet.

As part of Natracare’s ongoing mission, which includes the initiative #BeKind, the company aims to advocate against greenwashing and lead a movement toward transparency in product choice. Natracare, founded in 1989, has been striving to ensure access to organic and sustainable personal care products, focusing on the needs of both people and the planet.
