Let's Talk Period & Raise Money For Ovarian Cancer Research! Seventh Generation Feminine Care Products Review & Giveaway!

Seventh Generation is becoming a very well known name for their safe, effective products. I love that their products are natural and safe to use for your whole family. I have reviewed their cleaning supplies in the past and was very happy with them. I love that I can clean around my daughter without being worried about chemicals and fumes.

I was recently able to test some of their Feminine Care items. Read my post here about how you can help raise money for Ovarian Cancer Research. It is such a great cause and I am so glad that Seventh Generation has teamed up with them to help raise money. All you need to do to help out this worthy cause is to head on over to Let's Talk Period and register. Once you do this Seventh Generation will donate $1 to Ovarian Cancer Research. For every person that registers $1 will be donated up to $22,000. It really doesn't take much time and is for a very worth cause. And while you are there you may learn a thing or two, like the symptoms to watch for and how to protect yourself from this "silent killer".

Did you know most tampons contain cotton, rayon and are whitened with chlorine. I don't know about you but do you really want to put something with chlorine in it into your body? Luckily the folks over at Seventh Generation have thought of this and have come up with an awesome alternative. They sell both tampons and pads that are free from rayon and are whitened without the use of chlorine. Another bonus is that they are also organic cotton. No more putting icky chemicals into our bodies without thinking!

Of course since I am six months pregnant I am not in need of tampons so I was unable to actually try them out for absorbency and comfort, but I did look at them. They are cardboard applicators but are shiny and seam like they would be easy to use and comfortable. They are available in Regular, Super and Super Plus. They sell for $5.99-$6.99 for a 20 count box.

I was also able to review the Feminine Care Pads that they offer. These will definitely come in handy after I deliver. I love that they are safe for sensitive skin (which will be a must if using these postpartum), whitened without chlorine bleach, and have an ultra thin absorbent layer. They are available in ultrathin, regular and overnight in both pantiliners and pads. They sell for $4.99 a package.

We also tried out Seventh Generation's bathroom tissue. I have to say we are tough critics and like out toilet paper to be ultra soft. While it wasn't the softest toilet paper I have ever used I felt good knowing that it is made from 100% recycled paper which helps the environment. You can buy their bathroom tissue in single rolls, 4 packs, 8 packs or 12 packs. Prices range from $1.49-$11.99.

I tested out Seventh Generation's Blue Eucalyptus & Lavender Laundry Detergent as well. It worked great on our clothes and had the scent of eucalyptus. Here is what the laundry detergent has to offer:

A unique combination of plant-based surfactants and enzymes to power out even the toughest stains. To conserve water, please run full loads.

32 oz., 20 loads - Blue Eucalyptus & Lavender
-Non-toxic & biodegradable
-Hypo-allergenic
-Free of phosphates & optical brighteners
-Safe for septic & greywater systems
-Not tested on animals
-Kosher-certified

We also tried their fabric softener sheets in the same scent. They worked great and our clothes were soft and static free. They are different than your typical dryer sheets in that they look similar to brown paper towels. They worked wonderfully though!

Seventh Generation even offers chlorine free bleach. I love that it is safe for whites and colors and doesn't use chlorine. It is also non toxic and hypoallergenic which is a must with kids in the house. The bleach sells for $4.99 for a 64 oz bottle.


You can buy all of Seventh Generation's products on their site as well as stores near you and online both of which can be located here. So if you haven't made the switch to safe, chemical free products yet you should definitely visit Seventh Generation and give their products a try.
