Absolutely love these period pants! I was dubious as I’ve never used them before. They are incredibly comfortable, great coverage for any leaks, and I love the design. The material is really soft also. Really impressed and I’m annoyed I didn’t get them sooner!

FLO non-applicator tampons: 100% compostable (including the wrappers!), making them the most sustainable single-use products on the market.Very good and supportive undies. They’re comfortable and gave me the confidence of going out on day 2. Sizing is completely off. I’m normally a UK size 12/14, they recommend sizing up so I went for the large (apparently a UK size 16/18). Looking at the label apparently they are a UK size 16/18, a US size 8 (which is a UK 12) and a EU size 40 (also a UK 12). A size 12 seems about right and they are a little on the snug side, which I wasn’t expecting given I went large and isn’t what I wanted from the product. To wash, simply rinse under cold water and then pop them in your normal darks wash. They may seem pricey at first but they can last up to five years – just think of it as an investment.

These reusable pads fit securely into your underwear and are comfortable to wear throughout the day. Gone are the noisy and uncomfortable plastic wings, replaced with soft organic cotton or even reusable bamboo options. And considering the average menstrual pad is made from 90% plastic, and can take thousands of years to decompose, it’s about time too.

Our panel of over 160 testers tried a range of eco sanitary pads and liners, including a mix of reusables and sustainably made and fully biodegradable disposables, during their period. They assessed absorbency and comfort levels, as well as how protected they felt from leakage. No one wants to feel like they’re wearing Pampers during their period, which is why these organic cotton pads, with compostable wrapping were a hit for us. Their seamless fit and thin design make them discreet, but they still absorb a decent amount of liquid without leakage.

They're made from sustainable, high-absorbency bamboo viscose, so less stress when it comes to leakages and planetary damage.

I can honestly say they are so comfy and I forgot I even had my period. I wore these on my heaviest day for 8 hours and there was no leak at all. I’ll be buying more!

FLO Period Care Subscription Boxes – Here We Flo

Please never flush any type of period care down the toilet regardless of biodegradability unless stated otherwise - It can wreak havoc on the water systems and wildlife. 🐠 Featuring 3D-leak barriers, a charcoal core and high absorbency bamboo, they’ll offer you all the comfort and the protection you need! As above, because compostability in the period product category is a new and still debated topic, we recommend you dispose of your tampons in the general waste bin, and they will naturally biodegrade in landfill in a few years. That's much less than mainstream products, whose biodegradation takes over 100 years! We recommend you dispose of them in the general waste bin, and they will naturally biodegrade in landfill in a few years. How wonderful is that? In contrast, the existing corporate alternatives take 100+ years to biodegrade.👎 OEKO-Tex Bamboo means that the fabrics are organic and have been tested by independent labs to make sure that they are free from harmful substances - no nasties here!

Forget the not-so-green impact of throwing away or flushing countless pantliners during each period, NORA's reusable liners can be washed up to 150 times – a long-term, sustainable solution. Like a tampon, in the ocean menstrual pads often act like a sponge, but instead of absorbing blood, they absorb harmful chemicals that can be toxic to the ocean’s fragile ecosystem. Our go-to supermarket brand has had an eco update, switching to a new organic cotton design that’s also free from fragrances, dyes and chlorine bleaching. We rated their absorbency, making them a reliable choice to wear at night, and we didn’t experience irritation either. However, we’re not here to shame you for your choices – applicators are very helpful in securing the tampon inside your vagina, which is especially useful if you've never tried tampons before. So whether you choose to go with or without, we’re here for you!💕
