What is the Best Tampon for My Period?

October 3, 2024

Choosing the right tampon can feel like finding the perfect pair of jeans—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

Whether you’re navigating heavy days, light spotting, or anything in between, we’ve got your back. Let’s break it down so you can find the best tampon for your flow! 

Know Your Flow

First things first—understanding your flow is key to finding the right tampon. If you experience light to medium flow, a regular or light absorbency tampon will be your go-to. But if your flow is on the heavier side, you’ll want to opt for super or super plus absorbency.

Remember: Your flow changes throughout your cycle, so having a variety of tampons on hand is always a good idea!

Quality Matters

Many mainstream tampons are made with synthetic fibers and harsh chemicals, but Aunt Flow’s tampons are made with organic cotton—no toxins, rayon or dyes. They’re hypoallergenic, biodegradable and good for both you AND the planet.

Why organic cotton? It’s soft, breathable and naturally absorbent. Plus, it reduces the risk of irritation and discomfort, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Let’s Talk Absorbency

Using the right absorbency level is important not just for comfort, but also for your health. You should always choose the lowest absorbency that matches your flow. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Light absorbency: For those lighter days or towards the end of your period.
  • Regular absorbency: Ideal for medium flow days, usually around the middle of your cycle.
  • Super absorbency: Designed for heavier flow days when you need that extra protection.
  • Super plus absorbency: For the heaviest flow days or overnight protection.
