Soft & vagina friendly tampons ☁️
Synthetic fibers can lock in sweat and moisture, and disrupt your pH balance. We use organic cotton that’s super soft, breathable, and kinder to your vagina.
Trusted leak protection, the natural way🩸
Our tampons feature an absorbent organic cotton core wrapped in a soft organic cotton veil. A powerful combo to absorb menstrual flow whilst preventing fibre shedding.
No harmful ingredients 🧪
Inspired by your period, we keep it natural with our period care – no fragrance, dyes, artificial absorbents, or chlorine bleach.
Shaped for comfort ✌️
Experience the perfect fit and comfort with our gently expanding tampons. Our rounded cardboard applicators ensure smooth insertion without the plastic waste.
We’re proud to support Plastic Bank to save our oceans and tackle plastic pollution. For every cardboard applicator tampon we sell, we recover the equivalent weight of plastic from the ocean.
Conventional tampons are typically made with non-organic cotton, rayon, and polyester. When it comes to tampons, ingredients matter as your vagina is a highly sensitive area. That’s why our tampons are made with certified organic cotton that’s sustainably sourced without toxic pesticides or herbicides. 💚 We chose organic cotton as it’s naturally soft, absorbent, breathable and moisture-wicking, making it ideal to use in period care. ☁️
Applicator tampons:
Made without rayon, fragrance, dyes, or chlorine bleach.
Packaging:
Our tampons are certified to the Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS), the worldwide leading textile processing standard which effectively sets the bar for organic brands across varying industries. Independent third-parties vigorously test TOTM’s 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.
We do! Our tampons, pads and liners are made with organic cotton that’s certified by ICEA to comply with the Global Organic Cotton Textiles Standard (GOTS). GOTS has a defined set of criteria for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria.
Our applicator tampons have an organic cotton core, veil, and string. They also feature a biodegradable cardboard applicator and recyclable paper wrapper.
We totally get that switching to cardboard applicators can be daunting, however they do the same job as plastic versions but without the environmental impact. Plastic tampon applicators are used for seconds but can stick around in landfill for up to 500 years. They cannot be widely recycled as they come into contact with bodily fluids therefore any form of plastic (whether conventional or bioplastic) will lead to plastic pollution. Our applicators are made with cardboard and will break down naturally after use.
To help you make the switch our applicators have a ‘twist-to-release’ to help the tampon glide out for a smoother insertion.
Our tampons comply with industry standard absorbency guidelines which you can find on the front of the pack and in our ‘help me choose’ guide above.
Our tampons use 100% organic cotton from core to cover which sets them apart from other tampons on the market. Conventional tampons are typically made with non-organic cotton and rayon. They can also contain ingredients such as paraffin, glycerine, PEGs and titanium dioxide. These ingredients can all cause irritation during use and have a negative impact on the environment.
Our tampons do NOT use any of these ingredients. We use organic cotton from the core to the veil. Our veil helps to prevent fibre-shedding and irritation. Not all organic cotton tampons contain a veil, however we took this step for added comfort and safety.
PFA testing was conducted by EUROFINS in 2023 on our organic cotton pads, natural pads and tampons. All of them passed the test under the acceptance criteria specified by AFIRM Restricted Substances List 2023 ver.08. The method used in this test was the total fluorine content (meaning that different PFAS were tested, regardless of if they are or not regulated).
Absolutely! Safety is important to us at TOTM, that’s why our tampons are produced in a sterile environment with UV lamps based on ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and 21 CFR 820 (US FDA) standards.
