GREEN UP YOUR PERIOD IN 2022. ๐๐
if you're looking for a new year's resolution thatโll do wonders for you and the planet: make the switch to 100% organic, biodegradable products.
regular, mainstream tampons are chock full of unnecessary nasties (read: harmful chemicals and plastic) that should be nowhere near your vagina. what's worse: unlike skincare products, tampon companies aren't even required to explicitly state their entire ingredient list. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
we can wax poetic about opting for organic, so let's take a quick look at the main benefits...
๐ clean 'n chemical-free. here's a list of chemicals that've been found in non-organic tampons: dioxins, phthalates, paraffin, polyethylene, carbon disulfide, toluene, xylene...the list goes on. feeling spooked? us too. that's why our tampons and pads are made with 100% organic cotton and absolutely nothing else.

๐ dodge the pesticides. using non-organic cotton means thereโs a high chance that harsh insecticides or pesticides were used in production, which leaches into our waterways and damages soil health (unfun fact: cotton consumes more pesticide than any other single crop).

๐ keep micro-plastics outta our waters. plastic tampon applicators and wrappers break down into microplastics that pass through water filtration systems and wind up in oceansโฆposing a serious threat to our all our wild โn wonderful friends under the sea.

๐ biodegradable or bust. our tampons and pads are 100% biodegradable, meaning it only takes around 5-6 months to fully decompose in a landfill compared to the 500+ years it takes for a regular tampon to decompose.
