What we love most about these tampons is that they're free of what you don’t want in your body like chlorine bleaching, rayon, synthetic pesticides. It’s 100% certified organic cotton, with a rounded tip for comfortable insertion. There’s also a great give-back element—for every product you purchase, one is made accessible to another woman or girl in need.

If feminine pads are more your speed, these easy-to-use tampons are for you. A great introduction into the world of tampons, the well-known Tampax Pearl features an anti-slip grip at the base, making for simple insertion.

Pool days on your period? Check. For those who are on the move, have an active lifestyle, or just prefer a tampon that moves with you, the FlexFit technology is your ticket to comfort. The interlocking fibers create a 360-degree level of protection that prevents leaks. Plus, the contoured applicator makes placement a breeze. 

Certified organic by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), this innovative tampon ticks all the boxes. It expands width-wise for a more natural placement and features eight specialized grooves that maximize absorption. Because it’s made without fragrances or deodorants, it’s ideal for those who tend to be more sensitive. Bonus: The applicator is made from a plant-derived polymer, so it’s great for the earth, too. 

For the highest level of absorbency, these super plus tampons expand comfortably to stop leaks in their tracks. Although small in size, all you need to do is pull the lower part of the tampon until you hear a click, and then you can insert it.

When we have lighter flows, we tend not to worry so much about leaks, but rather the comfortability of our tampons. Enter: The undetectable Free & Clear tampon. Free of chemicals and made of organic cotton, this small but mighty tampon has a smooth tip and expands to fit your shape.

A tampon without an applicator is messy and complicated, right? Not necessarily.

Helpful for the environment (and your vagina), these tampons are inserted by using your finger as the applicator. A user raves that she was increasingly frustrated with applicator tampons but was overjoyed to find how simple it was to use this product.
