It might seem like a statement of the obvious, because of course Cottons cares – after all our range is based on offering women a natural, healthy and hypo-allergenic choice of tampons, liners and pads (instead of products made from synthetic materials).

But beyond caring about the products we offer, Cottons also makes carefully selected and substantial contributions to women’s health issues in Australia and internationally.

Here are some recent examples:

• 2011 = Cottons has donated natural cotton fem hygiene products to the ACCEPt project at the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to help research into chlamydia control
  
• 2009/2010 = Various donations to Australian women's community support groups
  
• 2008 = A donation of c AU$250,000 worth of feminine hygiene products to Donations in Kind for emergency relief in Pacific rim countries and Asia.

Cottons has also made substantial charitable donations in recent years, to support women's reproductive health issues and empower women in indigenous communities in Australia and overseas.
