Organic Cotton Tampons With a Plastic-Free Applicator
Tampon Tribe organic tampons are made from 100% certified organic cotton with no rayon, fillers, glues or synthetic absorbents, and use a biodegradable cardboard twist applicator instead of plastic. The cotton is GOTS and ICEA certified and grown by small-growth farmers in Europe. Each tampon has an organic cotton safety veil so no filaments are left behind, and both the tampon and its paper wrapper are compostable. Absorbencies are Regular, Super and Super Plus, from $10.60 for a 16-count box.
What is in a Tampon Tribe tampon
One ingredient: 100% certified organic cotton. That is the entire list — core, veil and string. The applicator is FSC-certified cardboard and the wrapper is paper.
The full material list for every Tampon Tribe product is published on What's Actually In It.
How the twist applicator works
The cardboard applicator arrives fully extended. Twist the top of the applicator one way and the base the other, push the base up until the tip of the tampon shows, then insert.
