Question by Tiff B: Tampons-What makes organic tampons organic and do they work better than regular ones?
I’ve noticed in stores, more organic products. Well, I caught a glimps of a box that said organic tampons. What makes them organic and do they work better than regular tampax?
Are they bio-degradable and earth friendly?
If you use them, does it make you more green?
I’m all about being green and am even a vegitarian, do you recommend ways to become more green and natural?

Organic tampons mean they are made from organically grown cotton. I’m not sure if they are environmentally much better but they are more expensive. In this case I’m sceptical about the benefits.
They may be more healthy to use but I think it’s unlikely. Regular tampons are made out of rayon which is just paper in a textile form. I doubt that processed cellulose is somehow more hazardous than “natural” organically grown cotton that has been bailed and processed and transshipped.
I’m a vegetarian too and I try to live with less impact on the environment.
