It depends on what type of tampon you're talking about.

  • Commercial tampons - 60% rayon (made from paper pulp) 40% cotton, bleached.
  • Organic tampons - 100% organic cotton, not bleached.
  • Soft tampons - synthetic hypo-allergenic sponge.
  • Sponge tampons - natural sponge.
  • Cloth tampons - cloth, normally cotton or wool.
