Guide to Buying Tampons

Types of tampons for beginners

Buying period products can be overwhelming! This guide is intended to help folks who just started getting their cycle or for partners who are buying feminine care products for someone in their life for the first time.

Not all tampons are created equal! Many brands do not disclose their full ingredient list, use unnecessary chemicals (like bleach and plastic), and add toxic irritating fragrances.

What are the different tampon sizes?

L and R do not mean left or right. L, R, Super are sizes used depending on the person’s blood flow during their menstrual cycle. If you’re unsure, ask for your partner’s preference or look for a multi-pack!

What to look for:

• 100% certified organic cotton
• No perfumes or fragrances listed.
• Full ingredients list to show transparency
• Bonus if it is biodegradable and compostable!
