Organic Tampons

Tampons are worn inside of your vagina to capture menstrual fluid during your period. A tampon is a thin cylinder made up of absorbent material. In most cases, cotton is used to craft tampons. Some tampons come with applicators to help you properly insert them. Strings are usually attached to the bottoms of tampons for retrieval purposes.

Organic tampons work just like conventional tampons; however, their materials are different. To be considered organic, a tampon must typically be made entirely or predominantly out of cotton fabric that has been certified as organic. This means that the cotton was grown without chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Depending on the product, organic tampons may also have organic or biodegradable applicators.

One of the reasons women choose to use organic tampons is environmental concern. Organic farming methods are friendly to the Earth, so you can feel good about using tampons made from organic cotton. Products with biodegradable or organic applicators will also break down after disposal, helping to reduce waste in landfills. Women who are sensitive to chemicals may also benefit from organic tampons since they are typically not made with artificial fragrances, chlorine and other chemicals.

When shopping for organic tampons, it is important to pay attention to the absorbency levels. The absorbency lets you know how much menstrual fluid a product can hold. Brands typically categorize absorbency by terms like light, regular, moderate, super, super plus and similar words. You can check out the descriptions on the product pages to learn more about the absorbency levels of these tampons.

All types of tampons, from traditional tampons to organic versions, are suitable for use when you follow the instructions and recommendations. Choose the lowest absorbency that's still effective based on your flow. You can pair a lower-absorbency tampon with a thin panty liner for extra protection against leaks. Never use a single tampon for more than 8 hours, even if it's not fully saturated yet. Replacing your tampon every 4 to 8 hours is ideal. Leaving a tampon in longer increases the risks of toxic shock syndrome. 

Organic tampons eliminate some extra chemicals that are traditionally used in the manufacturing process. However, all tampons must meet FDA guidelines. FDA-cleared tampons aren't allowed to use elemental chlorine to bleach the products, which helps cut down on dioxin levels in the finished product. The dioxin levels in conventional tampons are typically very low as well. 

The type of menstrual products you use doesn't affect whether you experience cramps. Using organic tampons reduces the number of chemicals that might be in the products, but your menstrual cramps won't change because you use them. If you have severe menstrual cramps, over-the-counter pain relievers, especially products formulated for periods, can help relieve the pain.

Choosing the best organic tampons for your periods depends largely on your needs. You can find organic products with a variety of features, including organic plastic applicator tampons. Compact organic tampons offer a more discreet design that fits easily into a purse or your pocket, but you can also choose traditional regular-sized tampons. Compare the applicator type and package size to find an option that fits your preferences. You'll also find a range of absorbency levels, including light, regular, super and super plus tampons, so you can match the level to your current flow. You can also choose from several brands, including Organyc, CORA and L. Try different tampon options to find one that offers effective absorbency and feels comfortable to you.
