Your body on organic

What changes, month by month.

  1. 1 month in

    Your first cleaner cycle

    Certified organic cotton, with no added fragrance or dyes, against your most absorbent tissue.

  2. 2 months in

    Less itch, less guesswork

    With no fragrance in the mix, that "something feels off" moment may start showing up less.

  3. 3 months in

    You start reading every label

    Three cycles of GOTS-certified organic cotton, made without PFAS and with zero microplastics, and now you're side-eyeing your shampoo too.

  4. 6 months in

    Your bathroom bin looks different

    Cotton and cardboard have replaced plastic. That's roughly 100 plastic applicators that never made it to a landfill or a beach.

  5. 1 year in

    Your standard has changed

    What started as a swap is now the care you reach for, cycle after cycle.

What's inside

There's no federal law that says anyone has to tell you what's in a tampon. So we'll just tell you.

How it works

Twist, push, done.

Our applicator is cardboard, so it locks for travel. Unlock it first and it glides.

Twist to unlock

Unwrap, then twist the top and bottom of the applicator in opposite directions, about ¼ turn.

Pull the base down a touch

Slide the base back slightly so the tip of the tampon just shows. This is the step people skip.

Insert and push

Hold the grip, insert, and push the base up until the tampon releases. Toss the applicator in the trash or compost bin.

Stuck applicator? It's almost always still locked. Give it one more twist before you push.

Find your flow

Which pack is right for me?

Use the lowest absorbency that works for your flow. Tap one to select it.

Absorbency ranges are the FDA's standard grams of fluid per tampon.

Questions

Good to know.

Jen Eden, Tampon Tribe co-founder, next to Tampon Tribe on the shelf

Jen, co-founder, answers your top questions.

What are your tampons made of?

100% GOTS- and ICEA-certified organic cotton: the core, the string and the safety veil. The wrapper is paper and the applicator is cardboard. No rayon, fragrance, dyes or chlorine bleach.

Are they really plastic-free?

Yes. No plastic in the tampon, the applicator or the wrapper.

The applicator feels stuck. What am I doing wrong?

It's almost always still locked. Twist the top and bottom in opposite directions (about a quarter turn), slide the base back until the tip shows, then push. Once it's unlocked it glides.

What does "Digital" mean on Super Plus?

Digital tampons have no applicator, so you insert them with a clean finger. Our Super Plus comes this way.

How does the subscription work?

You save 10% on every order and shipping is free in the US. Choose delivery every month, 3 months or 6 months. You can skip, change absorbency or cancel anytime from your account.

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Yes. Menstrual products are an HSA/FSA-eligible expense.

How often should I change my tampon?

Every 3 hours is ideal. Never wear one longer than 8 hours, and use the lowest absorbency that handles your flow.

Do organic tampons remove the risk of TSS?

No. Toxic shock syndrome is rare but linked to tampon use in general, whatever the material. Follow the leaflet in your pack, change regularly, and use the lowest absorbency you need.

Your period, minus the plastic.
