Safe Alternatives to Tampons to Use in 2024
As more information is discovered about tampons and the potentially harmful chemicals in most tampons, you may be looking for an alternative period product. If you've been using tampons for years, it might feel like you're a new menstruator all over again trying to figure out the best period product for you!
That's why we created Viv: to give you a safe, sustainable period care option that's easy to use, no matter what stage of life you're at. One thing's for sure: you can trust that Viv products are 100% safe, and we're here to help you find you period perfect fit! Check out Viv's alternatives to traditional tampons:
Menstrual Cups
The Viv menstrual cup is a reusable period product that holds as much 5 super tampons - yes, 5 tampons!! You may have heard of cups before, but if you've never used one before, they can be intimidating. Trust us, we get it!! We created the Viv Cup as cup beginners who shared those nerves and fears just like you, making it the most beginner-friendly menstrual cup on the market.
The ring stem on the Viv Cup makes removing it so much easier than other cups, and the Viv Cup Starter Kit comes with a beginner's guide that teaches you everything you need to know about how to use it. No mess, no leaks, just 100% period protection for up to 12 hours at a time. It may take a bit of a learning period (no pun intended), but all new period products do! Over 5,000 Viv Cup users will tell you: it's so worth it.
Pads
Pads are the first period product many of us use. If you made the switch to tampons and haven't looked back, you probably have horror stories of uncomfortable pads that feel like diapers, shifting around or irritating your skin. Let me introduce you to the pads of the future: Viv Pads
Viv Pads are made of bamboo fiber, making them soooo silky soft and smooth, but also 4 times more absorbent than traditional pads. That means they're thin and comfortable, while working so much better than those old pads you used to use. Plus, Viv Pads are completely plastic-free, toxin-free, and biodegradable (even the wrapper!) sooo a huge win for the earth and your body.
