FLO: the organic, plastic-free period care I actually trust
Period care should be simple, comfortable and kind – to your body and to the planet. For a long time, it felt surprisingly hard to find organic cotton tampons in the UK.
That’s exactly how FLO started. The brand comes from Here We Flo, the female-owned B Corp founded by friends Susan and Tara after a classic best-friend bathroom conversation, when Tara couldn’t find organic cotton tampons anywhere.[1]
Here’s my guide to the three FLO products I recommend: organic cotton tampons, bamboo night pads and everyday liners.

Why I trust FLO
The idea began on a best-friend bathroom trip. Tara couldn’t find organic cotton tampons in the UK, Susan was ready to build something of their own, and after a long chat about synthetic fibres and irritating chemicals, Here We Flo was born.[1]
FLO is proudly female owned and led, a certified B Corp, and vegan-friendly, with a mission to make cycle care that’s better for bodies and the planet. The company also pledges 5% of profits back to people and planet, and donates period products to communities in need.[1]
💖 Female founded. Created by friends Susan and Tara.[1]

My FLO favourites
Organic Cotton Tampons: Regular and Super in one pack
FLO’s organic tampons are made from organic cotton and are hypoallergenic and biodegradable, with soft, compact applicators that slip easily into a pocket or bag. This combo pack includes 8 Regular and 6 Super tampons, so you’re covered from lighter to heavier days.[2]
Always follow the leaflet guidance on wear time, and change them regularly.
“I love how these tampons prioritise both personal health and sustainability, offering a biodegradable and plastic-free alternative to conventional options. They’re perfect for those looking for a safe, ethical, and effective menstrual care solution.” - Georgie x
Bamboo Night Pads: for heavier days and overnight
These winged night pads are made for heavier flows, with a silky-soft bamboo viscose top layer made with organic bamboo. FLO says they’re 75% plant-based, with no added chlorine bleach, artificial dyes or fragrances, and each pad is individually wrapped in a compostable plant-starch wrapper.[2]
A 14-pack is a reassuring thing to have by the bed, or in a weekend bag.
“I love how these pads combine sustainability with performance, providing a natural and biodegradable alternative to traditional menstrual products. Perfect for those looking for a secure, planet-friendly option, they make overnight protection both comfortable and conscious.” - Georgie x
Bamboo Daily Liners: barely-there everyday comfort
FLO’s daily liners are super slim, breathable and absorbent – ideal for light flow, discharge or everyday freshness. They use bamboo viscose made with organic bamboo, and are designed with delicate skin in mind, with no added chlorine bleach, artificial dyes or fragrances.[2]
There are 24 liners in a pack, and FLO is vegan-friendly and PETA cruelty-free.[2]
“I love that these panty liners offer a sustainable and gentle alternative to conventional products. Perfect for light coverage, spotting, or an extra layer of protection, they’re a simple, planet-friendly choice for everyday comfort.” - Georgie x

How I think about period care
💖 Choose the right absorbency. Regular and Super tampons in one pack, night pads for heavier days, liners for light days.[2]
💖 Follow the leaflet. Especially for tampon wear time.
💖 Be kind to sensitive skin. These pads and liners have no added bleach, dyes or fragrance.[2]
💖 Keep a mix at home. Different days need different things.
Why I care about what’s in period products
What we use for period care sits close to the body for hours at a time. That’s why I like formulas without added bleach, dyes or fragrance, and materials like organic cotton and bamboo.[2]
I also love that FLO started because two friends couldn’t find what they wanted on the shelf, and decided to make it themselves.[1]
