Sponge Tampons


Natural sponges have been used by women as sanitary protection for centuries. They are chemical free, safe and comfortable. To use, dampen under the tap and ring out. Insert the moist sponge, it will last a good few hours depending on your flow. Take it out, give it a good wash and ring out before reinserting. For practical reasons you may wish to have two. They will last about a year and can be composted at the end of their life as a tampon, so are a truly zero waste option!
