The Tampon Fluff No One Talks About - And the Tech That Solves It

Let’s Talk About Fluff

You know that feeling when a tampon just... doesn’t feel right? Maybe it leaks early, feels a bit uncomfortable, or leaves behind something it shouldn’t?

That “something” is fluff — tiny synthetic fibres that can shed inside your body.

It’s not exactly dinner-table conversation, but it should be. Because tampon fluff isn’t just annoying — it can:

  • Trap bacteria 🦠

  • Irritate delicate tissue

  • Mess with your vaginal microbiome

  • Increase risk of infections like thrush and UTIs

Yep. All from a product that’s meant to be “safe.”


Our Fix? Cotton-Lock™ Tech

We didn’t want to just make another organic tampon. We wanted to make a better one.

So we created Cotton-Lock™ — a clean, clever veil that wraps around the tampon to hold every fibre in place, reducing shedding while boosting protection.

No plastic nets. No synthetic binding agents. Just 100% certified organic cotton, working smarter.


Why It Matters

Most people assume that if it’s organic, it’s automatically better. And yes — organic is a huge start. But without something to stop fibre shedding, you’re still at risk of:

  • Disruption to your vaginal flora

  • Uncomfortable residue

  • Unreliable leak protection

Cotton-Lock™ is what makes Femmé Organic tampons different. It’s gentle, secure, and entirely natural — because your period deserves more than just “safe enough.”


Real Protection, Naturally

You won’t find:

  • Plastic mesh layers

  • Polyester-binding fluff

  • Bleached, synthetic fibres

Just:

  • Organic cotton from tip to string

  • Designed for real bodies and real flows

  • Kind to you and the planet


Want to See the Difference?

Try a tampon that doesn’t shed, doesn’t stress your body, and doesn’t leave you second-guessing.
