Do organic tampons expire?
Yes, organic tampons do expire eventually.
Natracare organic cotton tampons have an official expiry date which is printed on the packaging. The date is within 3 years of manufacture. If you have another brand of tampon, check with the manufacturer. Other types of tampon (organic or not) may have official or different expiry dates.
Do organic tampons biodegrade?
Natracare tampons are plastic free by design, and can biodegrade and compost. This is because they are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, and do not contain plastic. Find out more about composting tampons.
What are organic tampons made of?
Organic tampons are made with certified cotton grown to organic standards. The Global Organic Textile Standard prevents certain materials and chemicals being used in tampons, such as plastic, chlorine or toxic dyes.

How should I store organic tampons?
Bathrooms are very damp, humid and warm, especially compared to the rest of a house. Most people use their tampons in bathrooms and toilets. We recommend storing tampons and other period products in a cupboard, drawer or box in the bathroom. This helps protect tampons from bathroom humidity.
For example, an applicator tampon sat near a steamy shower will cause the cotton to expand over time. As the cotton presses against the outside of the applicator, it can make it trickier to push out even if the tampon is safe to use.
Most packs will say store in “cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight”. This is good advice for your period products!
