Social impact
We give back.
Iris + Arlo fights against period poverty by giving back products to people in need. Thanks to our strategic partnerships with organizations, we will distribute products to more than 70 organizations in Quebec in our first months of operation.
Environmental impact
It takes approximately 500 years for the usual commercially available tampons to decompose.
We said no.
We've chosen sustainable materials, so that our tampons take approximately 150 days to decompose.
Because you should know what you put in your body
How To Use It
- Wash your hands and remove the protective film.
- Sit down in a comfortable position, so that your muscles are relaxed. Standing up makes it easier to insert, with knees slightly bent and apart, or with one foot on the toilet.
- Unwrap the tampon string and pull quickly and firmly. Check that both ends of the string are connected.
- Press your index finger into the hollow at the end of the tampon.
- Insert the tampon into the vagina; this is easier if the body is relaxed.
- Push the tampon into the vagina as far as it will go, at an angle. The string will hang outside your body.
- When the tampon is correctly positioned, you shouldn't feel anything. If you feel any discomfort, this means you haven't pushed the tampon in far enough. Remove the tampon and insert a new one,
- Wash your hands.
