What You Put In Your Body Matters

The average woman uses over 11,000 tampons or pads in her lifetime. These products come in direct contact with one of the most sensitive and absorbent parts of your body.

Conventional sanitary products often contain synthetic materials, chemical additives, artificial fragrances, and traces of pesticides & substances you wouldn't want absorbed into your bloodstream.

Amara's organic cotton products are free from these harmful substances, providing a safer, more comfortable period experience while reducing your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
