The answer is simple. It takes a lot of time and money to develop a safe replacement for a product that isn’t. We’re just not interested in developing products for their own sake, the kind that create an imagined need which advertisements then try to convince people they have. Anything we add to our roster has to make a real difference. It has to be essential, and the product we’re introducing this month is no exception. In fact, I think it’s the most important thing we’ve never made before.[What's old is new again. And I’ve got all the news about it right here...]A Periodic Problem: It’s Time to Talk About the Trouble With TamponsSomewhere in one of the endless alternate universes that physicists say may exist, we’re sure it’s the guys who have the periods. Each month, when their “manstrual cycle” comes, we’re equally certain they sit around swilling bad beer, sympathizing with the linebacker who missed the game thanks to cramps, and boasting about their flow rates and just how maxi their “manses” are. We’re also sure in this alternate universe that they’ve fixed the trouble with tampons, since, you know… the president of the tampon company uses ‘em, too. Unfortunately, here in our own dimension, tampons still have some serious shortcomings. The good news is that all the knowledge you need to protect yourself is right here.[Many tampons are made with troubling ingredients.

What if we packed in all the wisdom we’ve acquired over the years about safe and non-toxic housekeeping? What if we threw in everything we know about healthy indoor air, too? What would that big giant pile of vital information and useful tips look like? The answer? It would look exactly like our brand new book![We’re not just in the grocery stores anymore. We’re in print!

Try Our New Generation of Chlorine Free Feminine Care ProductsThere’s a secret manufacturers of conventional feminine care products would rather you didn’t know: Their tampons, pads, and panty liners aren’t nearly as healthy as they should be. Considering that women place these products in and on one of their bodies’ most sensitive areas, we thought that was a situation in need of some serious correction. So we created a whole line of personal care products with which women can feel good about getting up close and personal.[Get protection from more than your period. Come on over for feminine care done right…] These Web Sites Are Spot On!We’ve found several websites in our recent travels down the internet’s pipes. Just like us, two want to expose unhealthy tampons. And another offers a fascinating virtual museum of menstruation. (Who says menses can’t be fun?)[it’s time to visit some worthy web sites. Click here to see which ones are appearing in this issue…] Required Reading: Two Books that Go With the FlowAs a function at the center of human reproduction, the story of menstruation is as ancient as it is fascinating. Given that, you’d think there would be plenty of excellent books on the subject. Guess again. Turns out they’re as hard to find as a tampon when you need one. Still, there are a few and we found two that we liked.[Read any good books lately?
