  • Good to know
  • Here’s why you’ll love our organic cotton applicator tampons

    Soft & vagina friendly tampons ☁️

    Synthetic materials (like plastic) trap sweat and moisture, which can throw off your pH balance. Our tampons are made with certified organic cotton that’s super soft and kinder to your vagina.

    Trusted leak protection, the natural way🩸

    Our tampons have an absorbent organic cotton core wrapped in a soft organic cotton veil. A powerful combo to absorb menstrual flow and prevent fibre shedding.

    No harsh chemicals 🧪

    To keep irritation at bay, our tampons are gentle on sensitive skin and made without rayon, fragrance/perfumes, dyes, artificial absorbents, or chlorine bleach.

    Comfort without compromise ✌️

    Experience the perfect fit and comfort with our gently expanding tampons. The rounded cardboard applicators ensure smooth insertion, with zero plastic waste.

    Ingredients: Organic cotton core, organic cotton veil and an organic cotton string. With a cardboard applicator, paper wrappers and packed in a recycled cardboard box. Made without rayon, fragrance, dyes, artificial absorbents, titanium dioxide, glycerin, paraffin and chlorine bleach.

    For a light to medium flow.

    Super tampons

    Absorbency rating: 9-12g.

    Super plus tampons

    Absorbency rating: 12-15g.

  • Giving back
  • Every tampon tackles ocean plastic pollution

    Did you know that every year in the UK, up to 2 billion period care products are flushed down the toilet? Period products typically contain up to 90% plastic, so once flushed, they end up polluting the ocean and beaches.

    We’re proud to support Plastic Bank to save our oceans. For every cardboard applicator tampon sold, we recover the equivalent weight of ocean-bound plastic. Together, we can help protect the planet.

    Proud to support Endometriosis UK

    We’re proud to give back. 1% of all online sales go to Endometriosis UK, supporting anyone impacted by endometriosis.  Together, we’re making a difference!  Charity Registration Number: 1035810.

  • FAQs
  • Do your tampons contain rayon?

    No, our tampons do not contain any rayon. We’re proud to use certified organic cotton.

    Do your tampons contain heavy metals?

    Our tampons are certified to the Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS). Independent third-parties vigorously test our entire supply chain before we are submitted as part of a GOTS audit, meaning even the purest of organic cotton fibres undergo testing for heavy metals. GOTS place limit values on safe, low concentrations of these heavy metals and we are pleased to report that TOTM complies with this, and that additional testing of our products showed no detection whatsoever of heavy metals such arsenic, lead, or cadmium.

    Safety is important to us at TOTM, that’s why our tampons are produced in a sterilised environment with UV lamps based on ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and 21 CFR 820 (US FDA) standards.

    Is it easy to use a cardboard applicator?

    Plastic applicators take 500-800 years to break down, so we’re proud to offer a planet-friendly alternative with our cardboard applicators. They work a little differently as you’ll need to twist the applicator to smoothly release the tampon. It’s a small change, but you’ll feel good knowing it’s BPA-free and better for the planet!

    Are the tampons compostable?

    Cotton is a natural, biodegradable product, meaning it breaks down in a compost pile or bin (unlike plastic).

    How do these tampons compare to other brands?

    Our tampons are made with 100% organic cotton, from core to cover, unlike conventional tampons, which often contain non-organic cotton, rayon, plastic, and additives like paraffin, glycerin, PEGs, and titanium dioxide. We also include a protective veil on all our tampons (non-applicator tampons have a double-woven veil for complete coverage) to prevent fibre-shedding and provide extra comfort and safety.

    Loved & trusted by thousands of happy customers

    Over 70% agree our period care is comfier than conventional period products.

    I was using another brand of organic tampon, but was finding I was getting leaks due to the design not expanding adequately. These are great and very comfortable.

    “As a doctor interested in tackling climate change, I am always on the lookout for more sustainable products. I also like to support small businesses with B corp certification. I was delighted to come across TOTM – firstly, I love that the brand is called Time of the month and they make menstrual products. TOTM products are made using organic cotton and wood pulp and are incredibly soft and comfortable. It’s great that even the wrappers are biodegradable! I also like that TOTM consider the whole supply chain of their products.”
