Our mission is to revolutionise the period product industry by creating sustainable, high-performing alternatives to traditional disposable options.
In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the key features of DAME tampons and our reusable applicator, while also briefly comparing them to Flo's alternatives. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about which brand best suits your preferences and lifestyle.
So let’s dig in!
DAME tampons & applicator
DAME offers a unique, eco-friendly solution for your period needs: a reusable tampon applicator designed to be used with our 100% organic cotton tampons. The reusable applicator, made from medical-grade materials, is BPA-free and contains built-in Saniconcentrates™ to keep it hygienic and resistant to bacteria and viruses. By choosing a reusable applicator, you can significantly reduce waste compared to disposable options.
In contrast, Flo offers disposable eco-applicators made from 95% plant-based materials.
DAME's organic cotton tampons are:
- 100% organic cotton
- Free from toxins and plastic
- Hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin
- Fully biodegradable, including the plant-based cellulose wrappers
Both DAME and Flo tampons are made from 100% organic cotton, ensuring a natural and eco-friendly period experience. They are also free from harmful substances like toxins, plastic, synthetic fibres, chemical residues, dyes, pesticides, chlorine bleach, and fragrances, making them gentle on your body and the environment.
However, DAME's commitment to sustainability extends beyond just the tampons themselves. Our tampon wrappers are made from plant-based cellulose, which means they are fully biodegradable along with the tampons.

Eco-friendly
By using a reusable applicator, you significantly reduce waste compared to disposable applicators, like those offered by Flo.
