Plant-Based Wrappers + Applicators
We use biodegradable + compostable plant cellulose for our organic tampon & pad wrappers, and sugarcane biopolymer for our eco-friendly tampon applicators (95% plant-based) - NO plastic here. ๐ โโ๏ธ
OEKO-TEX BAMBOO
Our bamboo is organic & edge-grown meaning it doesnโt replace food crops & certified by Oeko-Tex (it's tested for nasty chemical residues).
+ All of our outer packaging is made of FCS-certified recyclable cardboard and weโre vegan & cruelty-FREE!
Organic Cotton
Certified organic cotton means no toxic substances & higher labour standards. Our eco-friendly tampons are also great for sensitive skin!
UMM... I HAVE A QUESTION?
If you can't find your answer here, please email hiya@hereweflo.co and our customer love team will have the answer you need.
Which products do you recommend if I've never tried them before?
We literally like to give life to the saying 'to each their own'. That being said, and working under the assumption that nobody knows you like you do, if you still need a little help deciding what you need, here's a peek into our top sellers: the bamboo 'combo' pad pack, the eco-applicator 'combo' pack & the bamboo liners. Hopefully one of those will be up your valley! ๐
I have really heavy periods/ need extra protection. What do you recommend?
Well, now you know! Our brilliant glo bamboo 'regular' and 'long' sensitive bladder pads are very well-suited to the heavy-duty period stuff ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ.
Featuring 3D-leak barriers, a charcoal core and high absorbency bamboo, theyโll offer you all the comfort and the protection you need!
Are your wrappers plastic? They look like it.
They might have that same look and feel of plastic wrappers but ours are made from nature-flex (cornstarch) our 100% plastic-free + compostable!
Can I flush biodegradable tampons down the toilet?
Please never flush any type of period care down the toilet regardless of biodegradability unless stated otherwise - It can wreak havoc on the water systems and wildlife. ๐
We recommend you dispose of them in the general waste bin, and they will naturally biodegrade in landfill in a few years. How wonderful is that? In contrast, the existing corporate alternatives take 100+ years to biodegrade.๐
How do I dispose of my FLO products?
The tampon wrappers are 100% recyclable (to be replaced by compostable, plant-based wrappers in Summer 2021).
And the tampon applicators themselves are made of a 95% plant-based (sugarcane) biopolymer and are recyclable (please check locally).
FLO non-applicator tampons: 100% compostable (including the wrappers!), making them the most sustainable single-use products on the market.
As above, because compostability in the period product category is a new and still debated topic, we recommend you dispose of your tampons in the general waste bin, and they will naturally biodegrade in landfill in a few years. That's much less than mainstream products, whose biodegradation takes over 100 years!
FLO period pads: 99% biodegradable, however, due to the existing debates about compostability in the period care industry, we recommend you dispose of them in the general waste bin, where they will biodegrade naturally in a few years. That's much less than conventional pads, whose biodegradation takes over 100 years!
FLO period pad wrappers are 100% compostable, and the backing paper is also compostable and biodegradable.
Should I use applicator or non-applicator tampons?
Objectively speaking, the applicator tampons (albeit 95% plant-based & recyclable) still bring waste into the world. If itโs not rinsed and properly recycled, itโll end up in landfill and contribute to unnecessary pollution.
However, weโre not here to shame you for your choices โ applicators are very helpful in securing the tampon inside your vagina, which is especially useful if you've never tried tampons before. So whether you choose to go with or without, weโre here for you!๐
FLO eco-friendly non-applicator tampons are 100% compostable โ from tampon to wrapper, which means theyโre the most sustainable / least wasteful single-use period product on the market.
If sustainability is very important to you but you canโt deal with a menstrual cup, then this is the one for you.
Whatโs the difference between FLO subscription and retail products?
Our femcare subscription range comes in our adorable pink letterbox-friendly cardboard packs, but the contents are exactly the same!
This is for logistical as well as sustainability reasons, as we want to make sure we use as little packing and shipping materials as we can and our carbon footprint remains at a minimum!
Oh, and single-absorbency packs are only available on our website for now.
Is God a Woman?
EVERY PACK GIVES A LIL' SOMETHING BACK
5% of our profits go to people + planet, via charities who are fighting period poverty and FGM.
