Frequently Asked Questions
No! Only 100% organic cotton, completely free of any bleach, chlorine or other nasty chemicals.
Yes! The cotton we use for every tampon is 100% organic. This makes them breathable and hypo-allergenic—perfect for sensitive skin.
A tampon should be selected based upon your flow. Our regular tampons are suitable for a medium flow, and our super tampons are suitable for heavy flow. If you use a regular tampon and find yourself needing to change more frequently than you're used to (every hour for example), then perhaps a super tampon would be a better choice. Do not leave a tampon inserted for longer than 3-4 hours: It increases your liklihood of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome. See next question to learn more about TSS.
It is recommend to change your tampon every 3 to 4 hours. Using a tampon for longer than 4 hours can increase your chance of developing a highly dangerous (but thankfully rare) bacterial infection called Toxic Shock Syndrome (or TSS). To avoid TSS, change your tampon as recommened above and switch to an overnight pad for sleeping. If you notice a sudden onset of the following symptoms, remove your tampon and call 000 immediately: High fever, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, rashes on the hands and/or feet (that have the same appearance as a sunburn).
