What are our organic products made of?

Lil-Lets organic tampons are made from 100% organic cotton certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) by the UK Soil Association.

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.

At Lil-Lets we're open and honest about what our products contain, so here's what's in our full organic range:
