Reusable tampons are made from natural unbleached organic cotton flannel and bamboo terry cloth. They have been sewn with organic cotton thread. The cord is made from unbleached natural cotton and attached with a reinforced stitch for durability. When you are ready to use, roll them up tightly and insert digitally.
If you use cloth pads, these are a wonderful addition because they offer a lot more freedom to wear tighter clothes, go to the gym, even wear a bathing suit and go swimming.
These tampons meet US federal guidelines for absorbency which are Ultra, Super Plus, Super, Regular or Lite. To understand your personal absorbency, tampons should be changed every three to four hours when using the right size tampon for your level of flow. Each reusable tampon has been completely preshrunk and tested for absorbency.
It is thought that TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) is caused by wearing tampons that are too absorbent or from wearing tampons for too long. It can be very expensive to always have the right absorbency of disposable tampon 'on hand' every month. With these reusable tampons, you will not have to worry about waste again, and they will pay for themselves very quickly.
The starter set comes with five tampons in your choice of sizes, a waterproof wet bag in your choice of designer fabric, and waterproof napkin which you can use to lay your tampon on and carry to the sink. The napkin rinses quick and easy, also you can cover the top of your rinsed tampon or pad inside the bag for extra waterproof protection. This is the recommended set for people trying reusable tampons for the first time.
All tampons come with detailed instructions for use, storage and laundering, as well information about absorbency and TSS. They are inexpensive to clean, using non-toxic products you probably already have in your cabinet.
