Choosing your Absorbency
Light: for lighter days or the start and end of your period. Also the easiest size if you're new to tampons.
Regular: for moderate flow days.
Super: for heavier flow days.
Choose the lowest absorbency that manages your flow for 4 to 8 hours, and never use a higher absorbency to wear a tampon longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Marlow tampons 100% organic cotton?
Yes, the absorbent core and string are 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The string has a water-repellent wax coating.
What is the applicator made of?
A smooth bio-based plastic derived from sugarcane. It glides like a conventional plastic applicator but is made from a renewable source instead of petroleum. No cardboard applicators.
Which tampon is easiest to insert?
For most people, especially first-time users, Light tampons paired with Marlow's tampon lubricant offer the smoothest insertion.
What is a lubricated tampon?
Marlow's lubricated tampon is a Marlow organic cotton tampon used with Marlow's water-based tampon lubricant. Dip the tampon once into the lubricant bottle, then insert as usual. The lubricant reduces friction, which makes insertion easier if you're new to tampons, on a light day, or find tampons uncomfortable.

Which absorbency should I choose?
Choose the lowest absorbency that manages your flow for 4 to 8 hours. Start with Light. If it's fully soaked in under 4 hours, try Regular, then Super.
