Conventional (non-organic) cotton is one of the most contaminated crops in the world. Grown using toxic pesticides and fertilizers, the cotton carries the residue of these chemicals which are then exposed to sensitive areas of our body. This is increasingly linked to chronic health problems and reproductive issues. 

Organic cotton is grown without these nasty chemicals, keeping you and our planet safe.

Our tampon cores are totally biodegradable in 4 - 6 months. 

For hygiene reasons our non-applicator tampons do come in a small plastic wrap, while our applicator tampons come in paper wrappers. We are plastic light compared to conventional brands who use plastic in their wrappers, applicators and in the tampon cores themselves, but we are working to be 100% plastic-free in the future.

Our tampons are made with our production partners in Germany. We are working to bring production back to Asia like our other products to reduce our carbon footprint.

Yep - by the FDA, SGS and the Global Organic Textile Standard.

Here's the technical guide:

Regular: 6-9 grams of menstrual blood

Super: 9-12 grams of menstrual blood

However, we know not many of us can measure the amount of blood we lose during our period (unless you are using a cup!), so we suggest starting with Regular. Switch to Super if you need to change your tampon sooner than every 4 hours.

The FDA recommends that you change your tampon every 4-8 hours. You should never leave a tampon in for  more than 8 hours and always make sure to use the lightest level of absorbency possible.

Yes, just change it right before you go to bed and as soon as you wake up.

Our pads and liners are made of organic cotton top sheets and a wood fluff absorbency core that are biodegradable and all-natural. 

Like our tampon wrappers, we can't say our pads & liners are 100% plastic-free for hygiene reasons. While the liners come in oxybiodegradable plastic wraps, we've made greater progress with Hong Kong's first water-soluble wrappers for our pads, which are certified compostable, biodegradable and non-toxic. We strive to leave no harmful traces behind; not on your skin and not on the earth. We will continue working on this to be 100% plastic-free in the future.

Our pads and liners are made in China, allowing us to reduce our carbon footprint and keep tight quality control. 

Our cups are made from 100% medical grade silicone. Medical grade silicone means the materials had been tested and approved by the FDA for biocompatibility, and is designed to be worn inside the body for long periods of time. It’s hypoallergenic, latex-free, contains no toxins, resists bacterial growth and non-porous, which makes them super easy to clean.

A combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and silicon (silicon is derived from sand, FYI).

They are made in China with our awesome product developers. They are certified to create medical products, so they know exactly what they are doing when it comes to creating high-performing, super safe products.

Here, you will find everything you need to know to choose the best size for you! 

1. Boil your cup before and after your period - keeping it clean is super important!

2. Fold your cup - practice to find what fold works for your body!

3. Squat down and slowly insert the cup into your vaginal opening.

4. Feel to check if the bottom of the cup is rounded and gently pull on the stem to check it is secure.

5. Enjoy your day with maximum comfort!

6. Remove your cup to empty and rinse with clean water!

If you're having difficulty removing your cup, don't worry. We are here to help and there's no need to panic.

1. Your menstrual cup CANNOT disappear inside of you.

2. It's normal for your cup to "travel" further up after insertion - so if you left the stem hanging out but can't feel it anymore, don't worry.

3. You can do this, there's no need to rush to the hospital.

4. It might take some time so make sure you're not in a hurry and able to relax.

5. If you don't have time to remove it now, it's okay! There's no risk leaving your cup in for a bit longer - go on about your day without worry & come back to it as soon as you can.

6. We've ALL been there so don't mistake this as a sign that the cup is not meant for you (it absolutely is for you, it just takes a bit of practice!).

Period cups are a class II device and therefore can’t be given FDA “approval.” However, we work with FDA-registered production partners whose products are cleared for sale by the FDA.
