In a world where environmental consciousness is becoming increasingly vital, every step towards sustainability counts. That’s why we’re committed to clarity, transparency, and conscientious ingredient selection for all our products.
Just this year, we’ve made changes to our products and packaging to ensure we’re keeping menstruators⸺and the planet⸺front and center in all that we do. Read on to learn more about the steps we’ve taken to continue making a meaningful difference, one period product at a time.
Made With 100% Certified Organic Cotton
At Aunt Flow, we are not only helping menstruators, but we are helping ensure a healthy earth and body. The organic cotton used in our cartridge tampons and pads is sourced from certified Organic Content Standard (OCS) farms committed to maintaining the environment.
Organic farming practices save water, conserve natural areas, and help reduce total global emissions. Cotton is cultivated with a focus on energy conservation and waste reduction. By ensuring our period products are OCS certified, we’re committed to climate action and improving industry standards.
Our pads are made with 100% certified organic cotton top sheets. As for Aunt Flow tampons, the core AND string are made from 100% certified organic cotton. Here’s the complete breakdown of Aunt Flow ingredients.
Plastic-Free Tampons
Did you know? Plastic tampon applicators are among the top ten items found during beach clean-ups.
Aunt Flow tampons are plastic-free while STILL maintaining comfort. Our smooth-tip applicators allow for easy insertion while also caring for the environment. By sticking with cardboard applicators, Aunt Flow has ensured that 23,520,000 plastic applicators did not end up in waterways or landfills.
Reduced Packaging Waste
We removed all plastic from our cartridge pad packaging and eliminated the paper banding strap on our cartridge pad bundles. With the removal of the banding strap on our cartridge pads, we will save over 100 trees!
Plus, we reduced the plastic seal on our cartridge pads and ditched the plastic bags they were once wrapped in. This shift alone has eliminated the equivalent of 66,000 plastic bags annually! Pretty cool, right?
Carbon Footprint Mindfulness
Aunt Flow is committed to reducing emissions and our overall carbon footprint. We reduced greenhouse gas emissions in our supply chain by 47x by shipping our products by full containers, compared to air freighting goods.
