Organic Period Products

Yes. Lil‑Lets organic tampons are 100% plastic‑free. They’re made from organic cotton and wrapped in NatureFlex™, a wood‑pulp, biodegradable film made from renewable materials, offering protection without plastic.

Lil-Lets organic tampons are made from 100% organic cotton certified to the GOTS standard (Global Organic Textile Standard) and approved by the ICEA. 

These standards ensure that our organic tampons are GM-free and are grown without the use of synthetic fertilisers (or potentially toxic pesticides).

You might wonder why organic tampons are often a little more expensive than standard tampons, and it’s because of these special conditions required for growing organic cotton.

Lil‑Lets organic tampons are 100% plastic‑free. All of our tampons are now wrapped in NatureFlex™ film, a wood‑pulp‑based material sourced from responsibly managed forests. This wrap is fully biodegradable and meets leading compostability standards, meaning it can be placed in your garden waste bin or home compost and will break down naturally without releasing harmful substances.

Lil‑Lets organic tampons are made without perfumes or dyes and are tested for harmful substances in line with the OEKO‑TEX® Standard, giving reassurance that they meet strict safety criteria and are gentle on sensitive skin.

Lil‑Lets organic cotton tampons are made from 100% cotton and contain no plastic, which means they will biodegrade naturally over time. This makes them a more planet‑friendly alternative to tampons that contain synthetic materials.

No! It’s really important not to flush any tampons, including organic ones. Tampons don’t break down easily in water, so flushing them can cause blockages in sewers and plumbing. Even if they reach a sewage treatment works, they’re caught by filters and removed, then sent to landfill or incineration. The best option is to dispose of used tampons in a bin or the sanitary bins provided in toilet cubicles.

For packaging: the cardboard carton can go in your household recycling. 

Whether you choose Lil‑Lets organic tampons or our core range, you’re choosing a product that’s trusted, safe, and free from unnecessary extras.

Organic tampons aren’t more absorbent than non‑organic ones, all tampons must meet the same strict safety standards. This means absorbency levels are the same across brands and materials; for example, a regular absorbency will absorb 6–9 grams regardless of whether it’s organic or not.

The best choice is the one that feels most comfortable and right for you.

Organic cotton fibres are grown without synthetic fertilisers or potentially harmful pesticides, which can be better for wildlife, waterways, and the health of farmers. Organic farming practices also help lock carbon dioxide into the soil, supporting efforts to reduce climate impact.

At Lil‑Lets, being environmentally conscious is important to us. That’s why our organic tampon range is made using 100% pure organic cotton, and the viscose used in our main tampon range comes from FSC‑certified, sustainably managed forests in Europe.

We’re often asked why tampons aren’t wrapped in paper. While paper sounds like a greener option, it can allow moisture to reach the tampon, which can affect hygiene and performance. That’s why we use NatureFlex™, a wood‑based pulp film made from renewable materials sourced from responsibly managed forests, which provides protection while still being fully biodegradable.

Yes. The Lil‑Lets Organic range is certified vegan‑friendly, meaning it’s made without any animal‑derived ingredients and is suitable for those following a vegan lifestyle.

Lil‑Lets organic cotton tampons are dermatologically tested to ensure they’re kind to your body. However, all Lil‑Lets tampons, regardless of whether they’re made from cotton or viscose, must meet strict safety regulations, which means they are equally safe to use. Choosing organic is a personal preference rather than a safety requirement.

You may see claims online suggesting that organic cotton tampons reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), but this is misleading. Research shows that the risk of menstrual TSS is no different between organic cotton tampons and those made from viscose. TSS is a very rare but serious illness and has also been associated with other internal menstrual products, such as menstrual cups. Always read the safety leaflet included in every pack, and for more information about TSS, visit www.tssis.com.

Yes. Lil‑Lets Organic Pads offer reliable absorbency comparable to our core range of pads.

Yes. Lil‑Lets organic pads are available with wings, helping to keep the pad securely in place and provide extra reassurance against leaks.
