This señora found herself at CVS bewildered at the tampon aisle. I have never seen so many incredible brands giving us “healthy” menstrual care. So I took a look at the research and some brands.

Conventional tampons and pads may contain chemicals such as dioxins, synthetic fragrances, and bleaching agents, which can be absorbed through the skin. They also tend to be worse for the environment, given the plastic applicator.

Here are the alternatives we’ve been exploring all year:

(and have you ever tried period panties?)

1. Live Better: These are my favorite out of the rest. Inexpensive, organic, and made by CVS.

2. Lola: Lola provides organic cotton tampons, pads, liners, and menstrual cups. They offer customizable subscription services and emphasize transparency in their ingredient sourcing.

3. The Honest Company: The Honest Company offers organic cotton tampons and pads, along with other eco-friendly personal care products. Their products are made without synthetic fragrances, dyes, or chlorine processing.

4.L Organic offers a variety of organic cotton tampons, pads, liners, and menstrual cups. They prioritize sustainability and social responsibility in their manufacturing practices.

5. Rael: Rael provides organic cotton tampons, pads, liners, and menstrual cups, as well as skincare products for menstrual care. They focus on natural ingredients and eco-friendly packaging.

6. Cora: Cora offers organic cotton tampons, pads, liners, and menstrual cups, along with period underwear and other menstrual care essentials. They prioritize sustainability and social impact in their business model.

7. Seventh Generation: While not exclusively focused on menstrual care, Seventh Generation offers chlorine-free pads and tampons made from organic cotton. They also provide a range of other eco-friendly household and personal care products.
