What is 100% Organic Cotton (Body + String)?

There is limited specific health research on organic cotton itself, but generally, using fewer chemicals is seen as beneficial for both health and the environment.

Scout's take
Every component that contacts the body is 100% organic cotton — both the absorbent tampon body and the withdrawal string. GOTS and OCS certified, tested free of heavy metals, formaldehyde, titanium dioxide, and chlorine. No applicator eliminates all plastic contact. The plant-based cellulose wrapper is compostable. This is the highest standard achievable for a tampon.
