Description

Did you know that many tampons contain chemicals, pesticides, bleaches, synthetic fibers, perfumes, and more? Fortunately, these ingredients are absent from Flo tampons, which are made from organic cotton.

Flo tampons are:

• 100% organic, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable cotton tampons;
• No synthetic fibers, chemical residues, dyes, pesticides, chlorine bleach, or fragrance in the product;
• Excellent leak protection and comfort, as well as a body-conforming design that increases absorption and ensures leak protection;
• Each pack contains 16 tampons—8 regular (with pink wrappers) and 8 super (with blue wrappers);
• A UK product, PETA-certified vegan and cruelty-free.

Absorbency of tampons:

One drop – very minimal, up to 6 g
Two drops – regular, medium absorbency, 6-9 g
Three drops – super absorbency, 9-12 g
Four drops – super plus absorbency, 12-15 g

Tampon insertion:

1. Wash your hands! Relax! Remove the tampon from its packaging.
2. Hold the tampon and let the string hang down.
3. Hold the lower end of the tampon with your fingers and insert the tampon into the vagina until your fingers touch the skin.
4. The tampon string should remain hanging outside the vagina.

Tampon removal:

1. Wash your hands! Relax! Gently pull the string until the tampon comes out of the body.
2. If you can’t find the string, feel with your fingers to search for it.
3. Wrap the tampon in toilet paper and throw it in the trash.

NB! Before using tampons, please familiarize yourself with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but serious disease that can be fatal. TSS can occur in men, women, and children, and is caused by toxins produced by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. The estimated incidence of TSS is 1 to 17 cases per 100,000 menstruating women. Nearly 50% of TSS cases occur during menstruation, especially in women under 30. Menstrual TSS is associated with tampon use. You can reduce your risk of developing TSS by alternating tampons with pads and/or using only pads.

Early recognition and treatment of TSS symptoms is important!

SYMPTOMS: TSS can occur during or just after menstruation and symptoms can quickly progress from flu-like to a serious and potentially life-threatening illness. The following symptoms listed below may not all occur at the same time:

• fainting, dizziness, weakness.
• sudden high fever above 39°C
• muscle aches, headaches, sore throat
• sunburn-like rash
• diarrhea and/or vomiting

If you experience any of these symptoms, remove the tampon immediately and seek medical attention! Tell your doctor that you are menstruating and using tampons and that you are concerned about TSS. If you have previously had TSS, we recommend not using tampons again!
