Not only are these guys veggie and vegan friendly, they're also free of bleach, plastic and chemicals. Great for the planet, and your vulva's needs. We found they didn’t cause any irritation and we didn’t notice them while wearing, whether that be running errands throughout the day or toss and turning through the night. At Here We Flo we donate product each month to those in need + 5% of our profits go to people + planet...but that's not all! Objectively speaking, the applicator tampons (albeit 95% plant-based & recyclable) still bring waste into the world. If it’s not rinsed and properly recycled, it’ll end up in landfill and contribute to unnecessary pollution.

Unsurprisingly, plastic is the problem here. Made from 90% plastic, your average menstrual pad can take up to a thousand years to decompose in landfill, or even end up polluting our oceans - and we’ve all watched enough Blue Planet by now to know the impact this has on wildlife. If you like to get comfy and cosy under the duvet when your period arrives, meet Wear ‘Em Out. Its pads are comfy (if a little bulkier than others we tried), secure and super absorbent, making them a good option for heavier flow days too. 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!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!💕

FLO eco-applicator tampons: the tampons themselves are 100% compostable. However, there are still no official compostability guidelines for menstrual products, as experts themselves are conflicted due to the 'medical waste' nature of used period care products. So 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.👎Here’s our top eco option from a brand that also donates sanitary products to girls and women in need. These reusable pads fit securely into your underwear and are comfortable to wear throughout the day. Super soft and comfy, don’t slide down, no leaks or awkward VLP in leggings AND good for the environment too; no need for tampons/pads again! 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. If you have sensitive skin, the friction caused by pads may make them a no-go. But these pads from TOTM are specifically designed to be breathable and soft to eliminate any discomfort. FLO period pads: 99% biodegradable, however, due to the existing debates about compostability in the period care industry, we recommend you dispose of them in the general waste bin, where they will biodegrade naturally in a few years. That's much less than conventional pads, whose biodegradation takes over 100 years!

If sustainability is very important to you but you can’t deal with a menstrual cup, then this is the one for you.
