Jones says it’s best to use a regular tampon and change it more often than to go for a super absorbency and to leave that in longer.

These hypoallergenic tampons are made with 100 percent certified organic cotton, and made without rayon, polyester, fragrances, deodorants or chlorine. Free from chlorine bleaching, pesticides, fragrances and dyes, the applicator is also made of BPA-free plastic.
