Founded by Arlene Parris of Miss. Arlene’s, these new and health-focused natural sanitary napkins are made and designed with her late loving mother in mind, Theodora [Tee]. While growing up Parris experienced difficult cramping that dictated her to be on bed rest once a month. Her mother used Herbs and some loving care to nurse her back to health. It was not until a few years ago she learned that the pads she was using were made from absorbent material like wood pulp which was bleached with chlorine and degraded waste material. In conclusion, learning that all of these chemicals could cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). After extensive research, Parris found the natural pads that she knows saved her life. These pads were even sold in her store. When these sanitary napkins became obsolete, Parris understood there was nothing like this on the U.S. market she took the initiative to create her brand of natural feminine pads for women who suffer from sensitivity to chemicals in their sanitary products.
