Most tampons are made from a synthetic material called rayon which is heavily chemically treated, rayon is sometimes combined with cotton that contains pesticides. The final product is then bleached resulting in more chemicals andbyproductof the bleaching process such as dioxin being left behind in tampons - these pose higher risk of TSS, infections and may pose long-term health risks.

Organic tampons are made from 100% organic cotton - there are no pesticides used on the cotton, and the tampons themselves are not bleached. Thus organic tampons pose lower risk of TSS, infections, and no long-term risks.

Does using organic tampons cause TSS?

Any tampon poses the risk of TSS, but it's considerably lower with organic tampons.Rayon tampons pose the highest risk of TSS - brands such as Tampax, Playtex, and Kotex - because rayon is rougher and more aggressively absorbent than cotton so dries-out vaginal tissues to cause damage, this allows TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS direct access to the bloodstream. Rayon tampons are also more favourable to bacterial growth, contain ingredients that may impact on bacterial growth, and lose more tampon fibers. Organic tampons are made from 100% organic cotton so safer.
