Lola: Organic Cotton Feminine Care Products

Yes we are doing it...it's time to discuss how to #switchtosafer feminine products. Along with the rest of our personal care products, ingredients do not have to be disclosed in our tampons. While it may not be the first thing you think about switching, the tampon should move to the top of your list. Not only is it in contact with our reproductive organs, but it sits in women's bodies for hours at a time. Lola has made this switch easy by providing single ingredient organic cotton feminine care products. The last thing we need during that time of the month is adding more foreign toxins to our body.

The Gist: 

• Along with cotton, many tampons contain rayon or synthetic fibers that have been bleached and contain small traces of dioxane (this is a dangerous toxin).
• Other lurking ingredients can include dyes, neutralizers, and even fragrance (this is a loophole that can contain hundreds of hidden ingredients alone).  
• The vaginal wall is extremely permeable and anything that it comes in contact with can make it into the bloodstream.
• Lola is completely transparent, delivers  to your doorstep, and you can even customize your box (hence the one dark blue color tampon in the picture above).
• Use code: LBREIDING1 at checkout for a $5 credit.
