Since the huge growth within the natural and organic beauty category, we’ve all become a bit more aware of the products we’re putting onto our skin. So much so that some of us, who once would’ve purchased a product based solely on the fact that it smelled nice and looked pretty, are now actively researching ingredient lists and origins of extracts before deciding to buy.
But with so much focus on what should and shouldn’t be putting onto our skin, we often tend to overlook another area that could benefit from a bit of naturalness…
Did you know that the average woman uses over 12,000 tampons in her lifetime? So it’s not really a crazy thought to consider an organic option for during your period. TOM Organic (which stands for Time Of Month – cute, huh?) is a range of hypoallergenic, Australian Certified Organic tampons, pads and liners – all of which are free from chemicals, pesticides, perfumes and bleaches. In fact, they’re Australia’s first feminine hygiene range to be certified by the ACO, Australia’s largest certifier for organic and biodynamic products. They’re also 100 per cent biodegradable and the packaging is recyclable and pretty to look at, too – a bonus for both you and the environment!

There are a few schools of thought when it comes to washing your vagina. Some women like to give the area a thorough cleanse, while others prefer to simply rinse with water for fear of causing irritation with soaps and body washes. Either way, the gentle vaginal cleansers in the Apivita Intimate range are a great option as they’re gynecologically tested, are free from soap, parabens, silicone and other potential irritants and are formulated with no less than 91 per cent natural ingredients. Try the Apivita Intimate Gentle Cleansing Gel for Daily Use to maintain the natural pH levels of your nether region everyday; Apivita Intimate Gentle Cleansing Gel for Extra Protection for extra freshness during the hotter months; or Apivita Intimate Gentle Foam Cleanser Protects from Dryness for extra moisturisation during menopause or in the case of vaginal dryness.
