Maxim Giveaway

This giveaway has ended. Thanks to all that entered!
When becoming Eco-friendly/organic it’s easy to overlook things to switch. There are so many toxic products and trying to keep up with everything sometimes gives me a headache! When Aunt Flow came to visit me last month, it hit me that the products I was using probably weren’t so safe. I started doing some research and wasn’t too happy. A lot of feminine products contain dioxins, chlorine and synthetic fibers. The chlorine bleaching process isn’t that safe and dioxin is a by-product of the process. Dioxin can stay within the fluff fibers of feminine products that come into contact with the most sensitive part of your body, and can lead to prolonged exposure to the toxic carcinogen- which is cancer causing. I wasn’t able to find info about tampon plastic applicators, so who knows if they are BPA free.

I started looking at my alternatives and I’m still not too sure about reusable pads or cups- I’m kind of grossed out by them. Then I found a great safe company called Maxim. They sell 100% organic cotton tampons with applicators in Regular and Super sizes, without applicators in both sizes and Super Plus, organic and natural pantiliners, natural sanitary pads and maternity pads, and organic cotton balls. All of Maxim’s feminine products have no carcinogens, they are synthetic and wood fluff pulp free, hypoallergenic and come with Eco-friendly biodegradable applicators. I was sent 2 types of tampons, pantiliners and cotton balls to review. They worked just as well as all of the other feminine hygiene products I’ve used in the past, but I liked them better knowing what I was using wasn’t toxic. For a heavier flow, I recommend using a pantiliner with a tampon. I have been really happy with the products and plan to continue to use them! If you are still unsure, you can always get a free trial by registering here.
