The Real Benefits of Going Chemical Free With Your Tampons

When it comes to period care, what you don’t put in your body is just as important as what you do. Switching to chemical-free tampons can make a big difference in how you feel - during your period and beyond. From fewer irritations to less impact on the planet, here’s why organic tampons are worth considering.

Why Go Chemical-Free?

What’s Actually in Conventional Tampons?

Many mainstream tampons are made with non-organic cotton, synthetic materials, and added chemicals like fragrances or bleach. Some go through chlorine bleaching, which can create trace amounts of dioxins - substances that are linked to health concerns like hormone disruption and reproductive issues.

If you’ve ever felt itchy, uncomfortable, or just “off” during your period, it might be time to look at what’s in your products.

A Softer, Safer Alternative

Our Regular Organic Cotton Tampons are made with certified organic cotton — and nothing else. That means:

• No bleach

• No fragrances

• No synthetic fibres
  
  Just pure, breathable comfort. They’re gentle on sensitive skin, designed to reduce irritation, and made without any of the harsh additives found in many conventional brands.

Health Benefits You Can Feel

Less Irritation

If you’ve ever experienced itching, dryness, or discomfort while using traditional tampons, you’re not alone. Many people with sensitive skin find relief when they switch to organic, chemical-free options.

Peace of Mind for Your Hormones

While more research is still unfolding, some ingredients in conventional tampons have been linked to hormonal disruption. Going chemical-free helps reduce exposure to unnecessary toxins - and gives your body one less thing to worry about.

Better for the Planet, Too

Made Sustainably

The organic cotton in our tampons is grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, making it better for farmers, soil health, and biodiversity.

Less Plastic, Less Waste

Our tampons are plastic-free and biodegradable, so they break down naturally over time — unlike conventional pads and tampons, which can sit in landfill for hundreds of years.

How to Make the Switch

Start Slow

You don’t have to overhaul your routine overnight. Try a box of our Regular Organic Cotton Tampons and see how your body feels. Many of our customers say they notice the difference after just one cycle.

Try a Few Sizes

Everyone’s period is different. That’s why we offer absorbency options to suit different needs. You might prefer regular on most days and super when you need a little more. (Our Bundles make it easy to have both on hand.)

Common Questions About Organic Tampons

Are they as effective?
Yes! Our organic cotton tampons are just as absorbent as conventional ones - without any of the unnecessary extras.

Do they smell better?
Yes, but not in the way you might think. Many mainstream tampons add artificial fragrance to mask odour. Ours don’t. Because they let your body breathe, many people actually feel fresher without the perfume.

Will I notice a difference?
Most of our customers say they do - especially those with sensitive skin. Less irritation, less dryness, and a more comfortable period overall.

The Bottom Line: Your Body Deserves Better

Making the switch to chemical-free tampons is a small change that can have a big impact. Whether it’s for your health, your comfort, or the planet — it’s a choice that just makes sense.

If you're curious to try a gentler approach, our Regular Organic Cotton Tampons are a great place to start.
