TOM Organic Regular Tampons

Hard to open wrapping – They are almost impossible to open, takes forever to open the wrapping. Completely not practical.

Would not repurchase – Difficult to open and then comes apart like a fluffy cotton ball leaving behind part of its product when removing from the body. Show details

I won’t buy them again – The tampon is nearly impossible to open. I thought it was me with the problem as it’s very hard to introduce but after using other brands I realised the problem is this product, is painful to introduce and the cotton will break up after trying to take out the plastic. Show details

Required Stanley Knife to Open Plastic – Might be a decent product, but I've now had to open two of these using a stanley knife and I don't always have one in my handbag. Lesson learned. NEVER AGAIN. I've never experienced ANY issues with a simple tampon before. Wow. Highly unrecommended. Show details

Impossible to open – I like these tampons but they are impossible to open. I won’t buy again Show details

pack. In my search for organic tampons I came across one brand, TOM Organic, and I'm mighty impressed. Their tampons ONLY contain certified organic cotton, are hypoallergenic and they're 100 per cent biodegradable which is an added bonus. I've noticed that my periods are now shorter (they were 8 days, thanks chemicals!) and my usual discomfort has completely vanished. All my other brand tampons have now been thrown out. I've promised myself I will only use certified organic tampons from now. Ladies, I urge you to do your own research and be mindful of what you're putting into your body.
