Natracare Maternity pads and Nursing pads are free from plastics, synthetics and super absorbents made from petro-chemicals, which can have a negative impact, both on women 's health and the environment. During pregnancy, women are naturally more aware of and concerned about the health and care of their bodies. The pureness of Natracare products can provide women with the necessary reassurance that is so important at this time of their lives.
