Collection: Unscented and Unbleached Tampons

The LOLA tampon, made with 100% organic cotton (tampon and string), is contained inside a plastic applicator, which is made of two tubes — one inside the other. You need to extend the applicator to its full size before inserting the tampon. Gently pull the inner tube out until you feel it come to a stop. From here on out, it works just like any other tampon with a plastic applicator.

We've always had the most success holding the fully extended applicator between our thumb and middle fingers and using our index finger to push the tampon out. We found that this helps us get a better grip on the applicator. Be sure to push the inner tube into the outer tube until the ends meet. This will ensure that your tampon fully deploys from the applicator.

At LOLA, we believe that tampons are not a luxury and that the period products we need every month should not be subject to tax. It is important to us to continue to fight back against the policies that challenge menstrual equity and wellness. Unfortunately, until that tax is lifted nation-wide, we have to abide by state laws and charge taxes when mandated.

The FDA recommends that you change your tampon every 4-8 hours. You should never leave a tampon in for more than 8 hours and always make sure to use the lightest level of absorbency possible.

Our current pads with wings, available at mylola.com and select retailers, feature three ingredients: 100% organic cotton (top sheet and core), plant-based bioplastic (back sheet), and non-toxic adhesives.

They are free of synthetic fibers, super absorbent polymers, fragrance, deodorant, dyes, and chlorine bleach. They’re gynecologist-approved, hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive skin.
