Cora Organic Tampons Multipack (12 Light, 12 Regular, 12 Super Tampons)

These are the best Tampons. It's so important to use clean ingredients for things going in your body. I have no complaints.

Good organic tampons, but sometimes they get stuck in applicator and are wasted

Love them Cotten, comfort, and potable!

My only complaint is that they do have a plastic applicator with plastic wrapping. As someone concerned about our planet, I try to minimize my plastic waste, but I hate cardboard applicators, and I can't insert tampons without one. Otherwise, these tampons are fantastic. They're organic, which is good for the planet and good for me. They also help provide menstrual products to girls in developing countries. I haven't had any problems with absorbency or leaking. The combination of light and regular tampons in this box is wonderful, since my flow changes from light to regular throughout my period. I do think these tampons are a tiny bit less absorbent than other brands, but if your flow is usually light like mine, this light-regular combo is perfect. I would recommend Cora's higher absorbency tampons for girls with non-light flows. The box says light tampons are for less than 6 grams and regular is for 6-9 grams. The tampons expand in a flower pattern (octagonal design), which I like. Some other brands expand like an accordion, which feels weird to me. The tampons go in and out easily. The applicator is easy to use, and I never have issues with it. It's a compact applicator that fits well in my purse and doesn't accidentally plunge itself while getting shuffled around. I prefer these over 7th Gen tampons, which use cardboard. Cardboard is not quite as bad as plastic, but cardboard is definitely not free from waste, either. If these Cora tampons used biodegradeable plastic, I'd give them 6 stars. Otherwise, 5 stars will do, because these are the best tampons I've ever found. Order them on Subscribe and Save to save a little. I normally pay around $12 for a box of 36.

I really appreciate the move toward cleaner, organic products, but in terms of functionality, these don’t quite match mainstream options like Playtex. The compact design is nice in theory, but the applicator feels a bit clunky during use. I’ve had multiple instances where the tampon didn’t fully release from the tube, which meant wasting it and starting over with a new one. That said, the absorption levels seem consistent and effective. Overall, it’s a decent option if you’re prioritizing cleaner ingredients, but there are some usability trade-offs to consider.

Best organic product I have found

This review may contain T.M.I. (too much information) but bad tampons call for honest reviews. I've been using tampons for longer than I care to admit (i.e. decades), and I have been doing everything I can to switch most products in my life over to the highest quality, least toxic option. I tried several organic tampon options, which were all terrible, before settling on Rael for a little while. After receiving several boxes of Rael compact tampons that contained far too many defective tampons with useless applicators that refused to release the tampon, I gave up and bought a box of Cora to try. Wow. I didn't think a brand could be any worse, but here we are. Firstly, I can feel them. I know every woman/girl needs a tampon that fits her body, and that is often a long game of trial and error, but these are utterly bizarre. I can't even describe the sensation. It is NOT pleasant. Secondly, the cheap, flimsy applicators are posing the EXACT same problem I had with Rael. The applicator will not release the tampon, they do not insert properly, and then you are left with the age-old dilemma. "Do I try and move it into place myself, or do I go through the very painful process of removing it and trying a new tampon?" We all know that two misplaced tampons in a row is VERY painful. There is no good place to get a firm grip on the applicator, and struggling with a cheap applicator that will most likely NOT release the tampon on a heavy day is a nightmare straight from the Fiery Place. Plus, if you are forced to use a public restroom (usually with strict time limits) this headache becomes not only painful and frustrating, but embarrassing. Thirdly, even though I do not experience the rampant leaking problem I used to experience with Rael, these are irritating my body. My body hates them. Again, I've never had such an issue with any brand of tampons before. What is in and/or on these?? I think it's worth the potential hit to my health to switch back to Tampax Pearl. The applicator works flawlessly, the tapered grip handle works even on messy heavy days, I had zero leaks, and I wasn't spending my whole day in mild discomfort. Like most women, I don't have the luxury of worrying about leaks all day, nor I do have time to go to the loo every hour. I do not want to dread the insertion/removal of a tampon/applicator because you never know when you got a "bad one" in the box. I have yet to try a single "organic and natural" tampon that truly excelled in any way, which is truly a shame. Back to the Big Bad Corporate tampons I go...

Great product. Only ones I use

Love that these are organic…but they don’t like to come out of the applicator. So it makes for a super awkward moment in washroom. Wouldn’t recommend truthfully.
