Once upon a time your tampons would be the last thing you wanted on display in your bathroom, let alone your social media feed, but women are finally opening up about their periods, for good reason.

Plenty of women agree, and it turns out a few have even made it their entrepreneurial mission to spread the word. Meet the period subscription boxes making your time of the month greener, cleaner, and (maybe the most exciting part) way more convenient!
According to co-founders Sara and Jonna, friends don’t let friends use non-organic tampons – we’d have to agree.

You can customize your subscription to include regular and super tampons, or pads with panty liners. The standard monthly subscription box (there are some less frequent options, too) comes with non-toxic wipes and a natural beauty product to perk you up, and you can cancel at any time.
