Find out more about Yoppie, our menstrual cycle care range and our approach to keeping your periods happy and your various bits healthy, the natural way.
Yoppie tampons are made with breathable, 100% certified organic cotton that has been purified without chlorine meaning they’re hypoallergenic, unscented and produced without harmful chemicals.
Both of our applicator and non-applicator tampons are completely plastic-free and come in paper wrappers meaning they’re fully recyclable. They are also colour coded for each absorbency!
Our applicator tampons have a recyclable cardboard applicator. While our non-applicator tampons are made with new and improved technology with a security veil that covers the whole tampon to give a robust fibre shedding solution.
Yoppie organic pads & pantyliners are made with breathable, 100% certified organic cotton that has been purified without chlorine and they’re hypoallergenic, unscented and produced without harmful chemicals. We also use waterproof backings that are biodegradable and compostable.
Yes: both our applicator and non-applicator tampons conform to the standard absorbencies set out in the Industry Code of Practice applied throughout Europe:
Regular (6-9g)
Super (9-12g)
Super Plus (12-15g)
Our octagonal design increases the total absorption area whilst remaining easy to insert.
Yoppie tampons are designed to expand widthways inside your body, for superior leak protection and comfort.
Yes - our pads will offer the same level of protection as a non-organic cotton pad which is similar in width and length. Here’s why:
Yoppie pads conform to industry standards on fluid absorption levels. We recommend night pads for your heavier days or overnight, and day pads for regular / lighter days. Conventional pads are typically comprised of a large percentage of plastic and plastic-derived gels within the absorbent core.
We simply use one of nature’s most absorbent materials - cotton. Our adhesive back sheet is made from a specially designed biofilm, which is waterproof yet biodegradable and compostable. Wings help secure the pad but also protect your underwear at the sides.
Yoppie offers the following absorbency levels:
For non-applicator tampons
For applicator tampons:
Yes - all of our products are hypoallergenic, as tested by an independent laboratory. Hypoallergenic products are much less likely to lead to irritation and allergic reactions. Health professionals normally recommend natural cotton products for those with sensitive skin or who are prone to dryness and PH-imbalance.
All of our products are vegan, cruelty free, and we are certified by PETA. At no point in our manufacturing, packing or distribution process are Yoppie products tested on animals.
Always wash your hands before and after inserting a tampon. When you are inserting or removing your tampon make sure you are relaxed and take your time.
To use our non-applicator tampons:
To use our applicator tampons:
Please refer to the instruction leaflet inside your Yoppie tampon pack for instructions and information.
Only ever use pads when you are menstruating and always wash your hands before and after changing pads and liners.
Remove the outer wrap, unfold the pad, remove paper strips and pull out the wings. Place the adhesive side onto the inside of your underwear.
Always change pads regularly and use lower absorbencies (day pads) on your lighter days.
Most people who menstruate can safely use tampons, provided that you follow the instructions we provide in our pack. However, do not use tampons if you have recently given birth or have otherwise been advised not to by a medical professional.
First-time users may experience a little discomfort the first few times - start off with our regular tampon (using our pads or liners as a back-up if necessary).
Try to relax your muscles as best you can. Generally, you should not be able to feel a tampon if it is properly inserted.
Contrary to popular myth you can’t “push it in too far” so - if you can feel it - try and push in a little further with your fingers, or try a smaller size first.
If you experience discomfort upon removing your tampon, you are probably using too high an absorbency level for the volume of your flow: try the next size down or - for very light days - switch to a liner.
Use the lowest absorbency you can for your flow level: put simply, higher absorbency for heavy days and lower absorbency for lighter days.
While more absorbent tampons do hold more menstrual blood, that doesn’t mean you need them for your entire period: never use a high absorbency tampon on light days, just so that you can use it for longer (beyond 4 - 8 hours).
If you are not sure, start with a low absorbency tampon (using a pad or liner for back-up if necessary), switch to a higher absorbency if your tampon is soaked through very quickly - until you get to know your cycle a little better.
Do your bit and please recycle our packaging. Please also make sure you dispose of your tampons, pads, liners and wrappers in a waste bin and don’t flush them down the toilet.
Flushing our products down the toilet can block toilets and pipes (yes, even tampons!). It also increases the risk of them ending up in our marine environment. Even natural products still take a few months to break down.
There is no single factor that makes for a healthier period, but what makes Yoppie unique is our determination to tackle as many of the barriers to healthy periods as we can - all in one place.
“Natural” does not necessarily mean organic or toxin-free. As more information has come to light about some of the nasties found in conventional period products, some well known brands have launched 'Natural' lines: made of cotton (as opposed to the common mix of cotton, synthetics and plastics).
Cotton is natural, right? Yes - but what isn’t mentioned is that (non-organic) cotton is one of the world’s dirtiest and most pesticide-ridden crops which has led to concerns about the risk of pesticide traces in the end product.
At Yoppie, we only ever use cotton that is 100% certified organic that has been purified without chlorine bleach and grown without dangerous pesticides or herbicides.
TSS (toxic shock syndrome) is a rare, but serious illness caused by a toxin-producing strain of Staphylococcus bacteria that can sometimes be fatal. The good news is there are many ways to prevent it.
TSS can occur in both men and women of any age as a result of burns, bites or even surgery. With around half of all cases occurring in menstruating females, TSS has been linked to tampon use so knowing about it is especially important for girls and women.
There is, as of today, no scientific proof that using organic tampons will prevent TSS, as bacteria can still build in any material - natural or synthetic - over time: so, it’s important that you change a Yoppie or ANY tampon you use frequently.
To reduce the risk of TSS:
Mood Food helps regulate hormonal activity and enable you to deal with stress. It contributes to emotional balance and general wellbeing. It also has the added benefit of supporting relaxation.
Super soother contains ingredients to help with our energy levels. It also contains magnesium which is known as "nature's relaxant" and ingredients to help with inflammation.
Hormone Hero contains ingredients to help regulate our hormonal activity. It helps to regulate normal menstrual cycles and maintain normal appetite levels.
