Best Tampons for Heavy Periods (Without the Nasties)

Heavy periods can feel like a lot - especially when your tampon doesn’t hold up. If you’re tired of leaks, irritation, or wondering what’s actually in your period care, this is for you. We're breaking down what makes the best tampons for heavy periods, and why switching to organic could be the comfort upgrade you’ve been missing.


Understanding Your Flow

Not every period is the same, and some are just heavier than others.
If you’re changing tampons every hour, passing clots, or feeling like pads and liners aren’t cutting it - that’s a heavy flow. And it’s totally normal. You just need something that works with your body, not against it.


Why Absorbency Matters

Tampons come in different absorbencies, and it’s not just about how much they hold - it’s about how they feel while doing it.

Our Super Organic Tampons are designed for heavier days, with 12–15g absorbency, so you’re not constantly running to the bathroom or stressing about leaks. And because they’re made from 100% organic cotton, they’re still soft, breathable, and gentle on your skin.


What Makes Organic Tampons Better?

A lot, honestly.

For your body:

Our tampons are free from plastic, bleach, synthetic fibres, dyes, and other harsh stuff that doesn’t belong near your most sensitive area. Just organic cotton - nothing more, nothing less.

For the planet:

They’re also fully biodegradable (they break down in under 6 months) and wrapped in paper, not plastic. Good for you, good for the earth.


How to Choose the Right Tampon

There’s no one-size-fits-all. Your flow changes, and so should your products.

  • Start with what feels right. Use mini tampons on lighter days, then switch to regular or super when things pick up.

  • Think about your lifestyle. If you’re heading out for the day or doing something active, super absorbency will give you peace of mind.

  • Don’t be afraid to test. You’ll quickly figure out what works best for you.


A Few Tips for Heavy Flow Days

  • Double up. Wearing a tampon with a backup pad or a reusable pad can help on really heavy days.

  • Track your cycle. Knowing when your flow is at its peak helps you prep ahead and stay comfortable.


Final Thoughts

You deserve period care that works with your body, not against it. Our Super Organic Cotton Tampons are made to keep up - no plastic, no nasties, just breathable, leak-proof protection when you need it most.
