FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT
Femi.eko organic cotton tampons
What is the CottonLock™ technology used in Femi.Eko® tampons?
"CottonLock™" is a special membrane made from organic cotton that surrounds the absorbent tampon core. It keeps the fibers compact and prevents them from coming loose during use. This reduces the risk of cotton residue remaining in the body, preventing irritation, infection, and toxic shock syndrome (TSS). With "CottonLock™", you ensure safety, cleanliness, and comfort every time you use it.
Why choose an organic tampon over a conventional one?
An eco-friendly tampon like "Femi.Eko®" is made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton – free from plastic, perfumes, pesticides, or synthetic fibers. Conventional tampons can contain up to 90% plastic and chemicals, which can harm intimate health and vaginal flora.
By choosing an eco-friendly tampon, you:
- avoid irritation, allergies, and hormonal imbalances;
- protect yourself from fiber shedding (tested using a strip), reducing the risk of infections and TSS;
- choose a safe solution – for yourself and the environment.
How do Femi.Eko® tampons reduce the risk of TSS?
"Femi.Eko®" uses only natural fibres – no plastic, perfumes or chemical additives. "CottonLock™" technology prevents the fibres from shedding during use. The products are microbiologically, gynaecologically and dermatologically tested. Changing tampons every 4 hours reduces the risk of TSS.
How to choose the right tampon?
Choose the lowest absorbency you need:
- Low absorbency: for the beginning or end of your period;
- Regular: for a medium to heavy flow.
Never use a super absorbent tampon just so you can change it less often – this increases the risk of TSS. Safety depends on choosing the right product and changing it every 4 hours.
