Most tampons contain synthetic fibres, bleach residue, and plastic.
Yours probably do too.
Conventional tampons are rarely labelled clearly — because if they were, most people wouldn't buy them. Synthetic materials, chlorine processing, plastic applicators, plastic wrappers. Inserted into your body, every month, for decades.
There's a better option.
Picture this.
You're out. Moving. Getting on with your day. You need a tampon that works — that doesn't leave you feeling dry, irritated, or anxious about what's actually in it. You reach for a Half of Us tampon. Soft organic cotton. Paper wrapped. No plastic, no chlorine, no synthetic fragrance. It goes in smoothly, holds what it needs to, and comes out cleanly — no fibre shedding, no irritation.
You don't think about it again. That's how it should be.
What you get.
- Certified organic cotton — inside and out
- Organic cotton sleeve to prevent fibre shedding on insertion and removal
- 11g absorbency — suited to regular and medium flow
- Individually paper wrapped — no plastic wrapper
- Hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, vegan
- Made without chlorine
- 20 tampons per FSC certified box

Five stars from women who've made the switch. And 50% of every profit goes to women’s shelters to help survivors of domestic violence.

We would love our pads to be made in Australia, but unfortunately the machinery required is only offshore. If the option to manufacture in Australia ever becomes a possibility, we will move production onshore.
The minimum order quantities required to place an order with our suppliers are over 100,000 units. This is a significant financial and logistical investment. This is a small start up business so strategically, we started with one size and will build on that as soon as we are able to.
As soon as we have enough recurring orders and customers, we will expand to include overnight pads and liners.
