Conventional (non-organic) cotton is one of the dirtiest crops in the world. Grown using toxic pesticides and fertilizers, the cotton carries the residue of these chemicals which are then exposed to our sensitive areas. 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 tampons do come in a small plastic wrap. We are plastic light compared to most other brands who use plastic in their wrappers, applicators and in the tampon cores themselves but we are working on this to be 100% plastic-free in the future.

They 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.

The organic cotton top sheet and wood fluff absorbency core are made of biodegradable all-natural materials. 

Like our tampons, we can't say our pads & liners are 100% plastic-free as for hygiene reasons, they come in oxybiodegradable plastic wraps. So we are plastic light compared to most other brands who use plastic in their wrappers and in the pads themselves but we are working on this to be 100% plastic-free in the future.

They are proudly made in China allowing us to reduce our carbon footprint and keep tight quality control. 

100% medical grade silicone. Medical grade silicone means silicone that has been tested and approved by the FDA for biocompatibility, so 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 is non-porous which makes them 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 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: 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 round and gently pull on the stem to check it is secured

5. Enjoy your day!!

6. Remove your cup and rinse it out with some clean water!

WE KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY IN A PANIC RIGHT NOW, SO LET'S CLEAR A FEW THINGS RIGHT OFF THE BAT:

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 and 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

5. if you don't have time 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 the cup is not meant for you (it is, it just takes a bit of practice!)

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.
