ENROUSH organic cotton products offer significant advantages for both your body and the environment. We exclusively utilize 100% GOTS CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON and 100% NATURAL FIBERS. In contrast, conventional products often contain a high percentage of plastic (up to 90%), along with chemicals like BPA, which are linked to hormonal disruption. They also incorporate chemically produced and potentially toxic "absorbent gels." Furthermore, the chemical bleaching process in conventional products can introduce dioxins, known reproductive threats. The extensive plastic content in conventional pads and tampons is highly detrimental to the environment, as they can take up to 500 years to biodegrade and are major contributors to water and beach pollution.
The components of menstrual products are critically important for maintaining optimal vaginal health, warranting their consideration as medical devices rather than everyday items. It's important to note that the vaginal tissue is highly absorbent, meaning it readily allows chemicals present in conventional menstrual products to enter the bloodstream. Conventional products frequently contain synthetics (which can lead to hormonal imbalances), fragrances (known irritants and hormone disruptors), dioxins (byproducts of chemical bleaching, potentially harmful to the reproductive system), and various other chemical compounds and derivatives used for aesthetic purposes.
Absolutely, all ENROUSH products are entirely natural! We commit to using only the highest quality natural ingredients throughout our products, from the absorbent core to the outer layers, adhesive, and even the packaging. Our tampons and the top layers of our pads and daily pantyliners are crafted from 100% GOTS CERTIFIED ORGANIC cotton. The inner absorbent material of our pads and pantyliners consists of 100% natural fibers. All items are enclosed in recyclable packaging.
ENROUSH products proudly hold GOTS certification. GOTS, or the Global Organic Textile Standard, is the most esteemed certification body for organic cotton. This certification guarantees adherence to stringent production standards, encompassing everything from raw material sourcing to the entire manufacturing and packaging processes.
Yes, all ENROUSH products have undergone dermatological and gynecological approval, confirming their safety. For optimal use, we recommend adhering to the instructions provided on each product page or directly on the packaging.
Completely! All ENROUSH products are dermatologically tested and crafted from 100% organic, unbleached GOTS certified cotton and sustainable pure wood pulp. We strictly AVOID the use of synthetic fibers, GMOs, pesticides in cotton cultivation, chemicals during production (colorants, dioxins, fragrances, chlorine, rayon), perfumes, or lotions. Our commitment is to the highest standard of purity.
Yes, even menstrual products have an expiration date, though they are less perishable than many other consumer goods. On average, menstrual products maintain their efficacy for about four years from their manufacturing date. ENROUSH menstrual care products clearly display their expiry date on the packaging, ensuring safe use throughout their intended lifespan.
ENROUSH operates under strict ethical guidelines. Consequently, all our products are vegan, have not been tested on animals, are sustainably sourced, and are manufactured without chemicals or plastic. We are confident that ENROUSH represents an excellent choice for both your well-being and the planet.
Used organic cotton tampons, pads, and liners should be disposed of in a waste bin or compost. It is crucial NEVER to flush ENROUSH organic menstrual products! Their super absorbent nature means they will retain water and can lead to plumbing clogs or issues within the sewer system. ENROUSH organic tampons are 100% biodegradable both aerobically and anaerobically. It may take up to 24 months for ENROUSH menstrual products to decompose in a compost environment. To accelerate this process, consider cutting the tampons into smaller pieces and integrating them with "green" compost materials (e.g., vegetable and fruit scraps). A balanced compost pile requires a mix of "green" (vegetables, fruits) and "brown" (fibers like cardboard, paper, and biodegradable menstrual products) materials.
No, ENROUSH period products should not be flushed down the toilet. Toilets are designed to handle only human waste and toilet paper. Flushing bulky items can often overwhelm your drainage pipes and septic system. Furthermore, ENROUSH period products, being made from highly absorbent natural ingredients (cotton/wood pulp), will absorb water and risk clogging your drain or becoming lodged in the sewer system.
Indeed, ENROUSH products are extremely safe for all ages, as we exclusively use GOTS certified organic cotton in all our menstrual products. We advocate for switching to ENROUSH organic period care, or any other gynecologist-approved organic period care, from an early age. This proactive approach can help prevent vaginal infections, reproductive system issues, or hormonal imbalances frequently caused by the chemicals and plastics found in most conventional mass-market period products.
To determine the best period product for you, consider the following:
- What type of protection do you prefer?
Choose between tampons or pads based on your daily activities or personal comfort.
- How would you characterize your heaviest flow: light, moderate, or heavy?
This assessment is key to selecting the right absorbency and product type. The ENROUSH Organic Period Kit provides an all-in-one, fully customizable period care solution, including pads, tampons, and liners. You can customize the absorbency and quantity of each product to create a period box tailored to your unique flow, delivered directly to your home. Transparent pricing, specifically calculated for your personalized period box, is also provided.
All ENROUSH products are manufactured in Europe, adhering to the most stringent standards for ecological agriculture, harvesting, and production. All processes are organically certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).
Pads are produced in Belgium.
Tampons are produced in Germany.
Liners are produced in Spain.
For complete overnight protection or convenient daily support, ENROUSH organic pads are an excellent choice.

Tampons are the preferred choice for individuals with an active lifestyle (both professionally and recreationally), those constantly on the go, or simply for anyone who prefers internal protection during their period. Regardless of your reason for choosing tampons, it's crucial to select the safest option available. ENROUSH Tampons are exclusively made from 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton. It's that simple. We also use 100% organic cotton for the string, biodegradable polyethylene for the individual tampon wrapping, and carton boxes for packaging. No chemicals or hidden ingredients are used.
ENROUSH Tampons are made entirely of 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton. This straightforward composition extends to the string, which is also 100% organic cotton. Our packaging consists of carton boxes. You will find no chemicals or undisclosed ingredients.
No. Bleaching agents or any other chemicals are not used in the composition of ENROUSH tampons.
No. ENROUSH tampons are made SOLELY from 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, from the inside out. None of ENROUSH menstrual products contain plastic or synthetic materials.
Yes! ENROUSH tampons are 100% biodegradable and compostable. Driven by strong ethical principles, all ENROUSH organic products and their packaging are eco-friendly.
ENROUSH organic cotton tampons are available in three sizes:
- Mini: for light absorbency,
- Normal: for medium absorbency,
- Super: for super absorbency.
These provide leak-free protection and the highest standard of organic health care. Choose the size that best suits your flow and your body. Always opt for the lowest absorbency necessary and remember to change your tampon every 4 hours.
The key difference among our tampons lies in their absorbency capacity. Mini tampons can absorb between 6-9 grams of menstrual fluid, normal tampons between 9-12 grams, and super tampons between 12-15 grams. Each ENROUSH tampon (mini, normal, and super) expands horizontally for enhanced protection and comfort.
ENROUSH organic cotton tampons come in three sizes – mini, normal, and super – which are comparable in size to the regular/conventional tampons you may already be familiar with. The appropriate size should correspond to the intensity of your flow. Use mini tampons (low absorbency) for lighter days at the beginning and end of your period, and choose normal (medium absorbency) or super (super absorbency) for heavier days. Therefore, avoid using a super tampon for a light flow merely for perceived extended protection. Similarly, don't choose a light one out of fear of TSS. The most effective protection a tampon can offer is when it is CHANGED EVERY 4 HOURS OR SOONER. If you experience an extremely heavy flow, consider using additional protection like an organic liner or small pad, or simply change your tampon every 2 hours.
Yes, and often even more so! ENROUSH tampons are made entirely of organic cotton, which is inherently the most absorbent natural material available. Moreover, because they are manufactured without any hidden toxic ingredients, they do not cause infections, rashes, or any harm to your body.
As with many skills, practice leads to proficiency, so with each cycle, you'll find tampon insertion becomes progressively easier. In the interim, if you're new to this, here's a brief guide:
1. Wash your hands and assume a comfortable position (flex your knees or squat).
2. Remove the protective foil and unwrap the string.
3. Position your index finger on the bottom of the tampon and hold the sides with your adjacent fingers. Gently push your index finger into the back of the tampon until it slightly expands.
4. Relax your muscles and, using your free hand, gently open the vaginal entrance.
5. Slowly insert the tampon with one finger, aiming towards your back. If it feels uncomfortable, it might not be positioned correctly; gently push it in a bit further.
6. Ensure the string remains outside and then wash your hands.
Dispose of the wrapper (or any previously used tampon) in the trash bin. Change tampons every 4, to a maximum of 8 hours, to prevent Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
It is recommended to change tampons every 4 hours to minimize the risk of developing TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). Never leave a tampon inserted for more than 8 hours.
Using a tampon necessitates a higher degree of hygiene. While developing TSS is not a direct consequence of tampon use, neglecting basic intimate hygiene practices can increase your susceptibility to it. TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) is a rare but life-threatening complication arising from bacterial infections, occurring when certain bacteria in your system release toxins. It can be associated with tampon usage because accumulated blood can create an environment conducive to microbial growth. This is why it is essential to change your tampon every 4 hours – when feasible – to prevent such infections or the proliferation of bacteria that could upset your intimate flora. Symptoms of TSS include sudden confusion, low blood pressure, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, headaches, or seizures. To avoid this condition, please adhere to the following hygiene guidelines:
- Wash your hands before and after changing your tampon.
- Do not wear a tampon for extended periods. Change your tampon every 4 hours if possible. Never leave your tampon in for more than 8 hours.
- Never insert more than one tampon at a time.
Certainly, you can! Tampons function identically for both virgins and sexually active individuals. The female hymen is sufficiently elastic to accommodate a tampon without rupturing. Tampons might feel more challenging to insert if you are a virgin; therefore, choosing a smaller size and maintaining patience and relaxation during insertion will facilitate a smooth and easy process.
Yes! ENROUSH organic tampons are tested to conform to your body, ensuring such comfort that you won't even notice them. Furthermore, all our products are hypoallergenic and pH compatible for all sensitive skin types. We exclusively use natural organic ingredients, and all our period care products are dermatologically and gynecologically approved!
The higher cost is primarily due to the increased production expense of organic cotton. Because pesticides and chemicals are not used in the cultivation process, organic cotton yields less than conventionally grown cotton. Essentially, it's a matter of supply and demand, as there is less organic cotton available compared to regular cotton, which drives up the price. Additionally, conventional tampons frequently contain a significant amount of synthetically produced ingredients, which are, as is widely known, inexpensive. All these factors collectively contribute to the slightly higher price point of organic period products.
Ultimately, the choice is entirely yours. However, keep in mind that most menstrual cups are made from rubber and silicone and are designed to collect menstrual flow rather than absorb it. While organic cups are available, you should thoroughly consider your lifestyle and circumstances before transitioning to a menstrual cup. Remember that you should always use lubrication when inserting a cup, and it is also possible to develop TSS from using a cup. Cups are reusable, can hold more blood than tampons, and can be worn for longer durations (up to 12 hours). Nevertheless, there are certain risks to consider. Before switching to a cup, consult your gynecologist if:
- You are allergic to rubber or latex.
- You use an intrauterine device for birth control, as it may be necessary to shorten the IUD string to prevent accidental removal when taking out the cup.
- You have a history of TSS.
- You have recently undergone gynecological surgery, given birth, or experienced a miscarriage.
- You have a vaginal infection.
- You are a virgin and are concerned about maintaining your hymen intact.
No, you should not flush your ENROUSH tampon or any other period product. Toilets are only designed to handle urine, feces, and toilet paper. Any absorbent material that is flushed can clog the drainage system. Flushing bulky objects often exceeds the capacity of your drainage pipes and septic system.
Our tampons are meticulously manufactured in Germany, adhering to the highest quality standards. Our production facilities are all ISO 9001 certified, and all our plants hold BRC certifications for safety and design.
