10 Organic Tampon Brands You Might Want To Try On Your Next Cycle

Am I the only one who didn't know organic tampons were a thing?


Not only do they exist, but there are quite a few benefits that come with going the organic route for tampons. For starters, they're typically made up of pure organic cotton and are bleached with peroxide, compared to non-organic tampon products that have rayon and are bleached with chlorine. Organic tampons are also said to be free of chemicals that can interrupt hormones and synthetic materials used in pesticides.

Consider these organic tampon brands for your next menstrual cycle:

L. Organic

L.

While L Organic tampons are proof tampons can be cute, there's so much more than meets the eye with this brand. It's an award-winning product, so it clearly lives up to the hype. These were created with love and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)-certified organic cotton. They don't have any rayon, fragrances, chlorine, dyes, or pesticides. The applicators are free of all BPA, but also plant-based, and each purchase will go toward providing an organic pad to a girl who resides in a low-income country. These are sold online at the L Organic site and Amazon, and Target flaunts them too. This brand also sells pads and glycerin-free condoms!
