All our tampon wrappers are made from 100% recyclable paper.

Yes, we’re proud to have our face mask registered with The Vegan Society. The product has never been tested on animals.
Our face mask is 98.8% natural.
Our face mask includes the following ingredients:
Aqua (Water), Kaolin, Glycerin, Bentonite Helianthus annuss (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Coco-Glucoside, Charcoal Power, Benzyl Alcohol, Coconut Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Dehydroacetic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Tocopherol, Citric Acid.
Activated charcoal is created through the process of heating charcoal. Heating the charcoal causes expansion, which allows it to absorb pollutants and reduce the appearance of pores on your skin. It acts as a detoxifying agent, maximising the draw out of toxins, oil, and dirt from your skin
There are no essential oils in this formula.
Our face mask has a delicate natural scent (think marzipan), however the formula does not contain fragrance.
The face mask is suitable for oily & combination skin types. If you have dry combination skin, then it’s recommended to use on oilier areas such as the T-zone.
For best results, smooth an even layer of our charcoal activated face mask over your face, taking extra care around delicate areas such as eyes. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and then rinse off thoroughly with warm water.
The face mask can be used weekly 😊
Our face mask is allergen free. We do however always recommend carrying out a test patch 24 hours prior to use and discontinuing use if any kind of reaction is caused.
We recommend conducting patch tests during pregnancy as the body can be much more sensitive than normal.
Our face mask is produced in the United Kingdom to high ethical standards.
Stored away from direct sunlight & in a cool place, the face mask can be used for 12 months after opening.
Our cartons are 100% recyclable so can be disposed of with your usual household recyclables. Separate the lid and jar and wash out with water. Our lids and jars are also 100% recyclable so can be disposed of with your usual household recyclables

Our tampons, pads and liners are made in Europe in compliance with US FDA standards. They’re certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), ICEA and carry the Cotton Seal, so you can be sure of the quality of materials.
TOTM products use only 100% certified organic cotton with no synthetic fibres or nasty ingredients. Organic cotton is farmed using sustainable methods and Fairtrade principles. It is, therefore, more expensive to produce. We do try to price our period care as competitively as possible. We offer free shipping for subscription customers and one-off purchases over £10.
No. Since the announcement in March 2020 that the tax would be scrapped, we put a plan together to bring down prices of our products so they’re more affordable for our customers. A price reduction has been applied across the whole of TOTMs range to account for the reduction in VAT from 5% to 0%, effective from 1st January 2021.
We run promotional discounts at intervals throughout the year. To hear about the latest promotions and offers follows us on socials and be sure to sign up for our newsletters!
We are working on a number of product developments to extend the range. We will make announcements on our socials so stay tuned!

Our period care range is made from 100% certified organic cotton. None of the products contain latex. If there are any particular ingredients you’re concerned about please pop a message to [email protected].

Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides. It’s GM-free and has a naturally soft, breathable texture. This makes it ideal for use in period care which comes into contact with the sensitive and highly absorbent vaginal area. Mainstream tampons, pads and liners are made with conventional cotton and have been found to also contain additional synthetic materials such as rayon, plastics and artificial absorbents. We use organic cotton as it’s kind to the body and the environment.
The TOTM cup is made of FDA approved medical grade TPE. It’s BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free and rubber-free. It doesn’t leach chemicals into the body because it’s medical grade and is easy to sterilise, which is why medical-grade TPE is used in hospital equipment. We choose to use medical-grade TPE because it’s a soft and flexible material. It is also widely recycled so will not end up in the landfill.
Yes, our cup can be used if you have a tilted cervix. It’s possible to remove the stem of the cup to allow more room and for the cup to sit in the correct place.
We don’t advise to use any cleaning agents with the cup as they can compromise the cup over time. Bring a pan of water to the boil, allow to simmer and then pop the cup in for a few minutes. This will sterilise the cup perfectly for you.
To remove the TOTM cup, find a comfortable position. Place your index finger and thumb into the vagina to locate the handle or the bottom of the cup. Push with your abdominal/pelvic muscles for easier removal. Empty the contents into the toilet and wash the cup with clean (preferably warm) water.
Yes, our cup is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin.
You can use the TOTM cup overnight. If you are new to cups you might want to use this alongside a liner or pad to prevent any leaks. As the cup is an intra-vaginal device, our consultant Gynaecologist advises following the same rules that apply to tampons. Remember to remove every 4-8 hours. If this does not fit with your sleeping pattern then we recommend switching to pads at night.
To sterilise the TOTM cup wash your hands and place the cup in a saucepan. Add enough water to ensure the cup is covered. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Do not use abrasive cleansers or disinfectants on the cup, such as tea tree oil. Allow the cup to cool off before using. Remember to sterilise the first time you use it and at the end of every cycle.
Our cup is made from medical grade TPE, which makes it both reusable and recyclable. For safe and sustainable disposal, sterilise your cup before recycling. The cup can be disposed of with your usual household recyclable plastics.
Our cup can be used for years if excellent hygiene is routinely applied. If you notice any changes to the material, visible damage or a significant change in appearance then it might need replacing. Our customer care team can help if you’re unsure or have further questions.
You can use a TOTM cup when wearing an IUD, but we would always recommend consulting your doctor first so they can shorten the strings if needs be.
Using a cup for the first time can require a bit of practice! Our cup includes guidelines to help you get started. Remember to relax as tense muscles can make it difficult to insert. To help you get started we created a blog on this topic full of menstrual cup tips, including cup fold suggestions and how to care for your cup – Read more here.

Although we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee the chocolate is free from any allergens/nuts as they are made in a kitchen where allergens are present.
The chocolate bars are free from ingredients that contain gluten, however, they are all made in a kitchen where gluten is present, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee.
