What you think about our organic cotton period care

Does your school provide free period care?

We believe safe, sustainable & healthy period care should be freely available to everyone. And we also believe it’s essential that young people have the option to choose period care that not only suits them but is better for them too.

We offer fully customisable dispensers, shelf-ready boxes & plenty of educational extras. If you’re interested in getting bleach-free & plastic-free period care in your school, please get in touch.

Your questions answered

Organic cotton is naturally soft, pH-neutral, breathable and absorbent. Unlike commercially grown cotton, it’s been grown without the use of fertilisers, herbicides & pesticides.

Mainstream period care brands on the other hand, bleach their tampons using chemicals called dioxins to give them their signature white colour which are found to be highly toxic, disrupt hormones and even cause cancer. And it doesn’t stop there. These brands use a chemical cocktail of plastic, pH disrupting perfumes, dyes, fertilisers & pesticides which can create an environment where bacteria thrives and potentially cause nasty infections like thrush, BV or contact dermatitis. This is also bad news for anyone who suffers from dry skin as these chemicals will only cause irritation and worsen symptoms.

Our organic cotton tampons are 100% organic cotton and have an added superpower: protective veils. A shielding layer of organic cotton, these veils prevent rogue fibres from staying behind (usually during insertion & removal) and potentially creating a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Whilst your vagina is an amazing & self-cleaning organ and should be able to expel most things, it may be unable to flush out all pieces of tampon fibre left behind. Most mainstream brand tampons have no veil at all, so there’s nothing stopping fibres and even microplastics from staying behind and potentially causing infections.

So, if you’re looking for period care that’s free from harmful chemicals, breathable & will not cause irritation, organic cotton is for you.

Always use the tampon with the lowest absorbency to meet your needs. You might find that it helps to use different absorbency levels throughout your period – most people find their flow is heavier during the first few days. Here’s a quick guide to our absorbency levels:

  • Light - perfect for light flow days at the beginning or end of your period.
  • Medium - ideal if you’ve ever bought ‘regular’ or ‘normal’ tampons.
  • Heavy - for the heaviest flows, choose these if you’ve ever found yourself soaking through pads & tampons quickly.

Our tampon applicators are made from 100% biodegradable cardboard and contain zero plastic. In fact, they’ve been voted “Best Eco-Friendly Tampons” by Good Housekeeping & Cosmopolitan magazine!

Here’s a quick guide to inserting a tampon:

  1. Wash your hands and remove the tampon from its wrapper.
  2. Get yourself in a comfortable position.
  3. If using an applicator tampon, twist & push to unlock the applicator
  4. Use one hand to hold the tampon by the applicator and use your other to open the labia (the folds of skin around the vulva).
  5. Gently push the tampon into your vagina and push the plunger of the tampon up to release from the applicator.

For more details, read our blog on how to insert a tampon.

Your period is on repeat. Why not set your orders to regular too?
