Why organic cotton tampons?
Product Ingredients

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. ☁️ 

Non-applicator tampons: 

  • Organic cotton absorbent core. 
  • Double woven organic cotton veil. 
  • Organic cotton string. 

Made without rayon, fragrance, dyes, or chlorine bleach.

Packaging: 

  • Tampons individually wrapped in recyclable paper. 
  • Packed in FSC certified & fully recyclable cardboard boxes 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do TOTM tampons contain heavy metals?

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.

Do you use certified organic cotton?

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.

What are your wrappers made from?

You’ll usually find non-applicator tampons are wrapped in plastic however we were proudly the first UK period care brand to switch to recyclable paper wrappers. Our non-apps are totally plastic-free – including the wrappers! 

Are these as absorbent as other brands?

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.

How are TOTM tampons different to other tampons?

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.

Do your tampons contain PFAs?

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).

What are your non-applicator tampons made from?

Our non-applicator tampons have an organic cotton core, veil, and string. 

Are TOTM tampons sterile?

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.
