Tampons are not the only feminine care products that can be home to a plethora of unwanted irritants and pH un-friendly chemicals. You’d be surprised just how dirty your down there wash really is!

Chemicals of concern commonly used in feminine care products include carcinogens, reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, and allergens.

There is a multitude of reasons you should tend to your lady garden using natural products but chances are your body’s has been telling you all along. Have you ever washed at your SO’s house and felt a little extra dry down there or perhaps shaved with a new shaving cream and was left irritated? What about some of the more sensitive scaries that tend to happen with your complicated cocoon? We’ve all had those moments where, maybe it turned out to be nothing but..., poorly made/marketed feminine care has caused dryness and rashes all the way to more serious, crippling conditions like chronic yeast infections.

It is estimated that up to 40% of women use washes, douches, wipes or other cleansing products for down there, but most of the everyday products for the modern woman are made with a heavy list of unmentionables that can irritate your intimate areas. In an article by Dr. Joseph Mecola, he called feminine care a ticking time bomb of unsavory ingredients. He gave special call-outs to the fact that traditional personal care brands use a multitude of endocrine-disrupting ingredients that have direct links to reproductive issues.
