Are Yoni tampons biodegradable?

Yes, Yoni tampons are biodegradable. You can throw them on the compost heap because they are made from 100% organic cotton. Unfortunately, the individual packaging of the tampon (the plastic wrapper) is not biodegradable. We tried bioplastic but it isn’t strong enough yet to hold the tampon together or it made it impossible to open. This is something we are working on and hope to change in the future. And of course don’t forget to throw the outer carton packaging in the paper bin.

Are Yoni pads and pantyliners biodegradable?

Yes, Yoni pads and panty liners are biodegradable. They are made from organic cotton and have a bioplastic backing. This means they can be thrown on the compost heap or just in the normal trash. Most of the individual packaging is made from cornstarch and hence also biodegradable. Unfortunately only the paper stuck to the sticky side of the pad and panty liner is not compostable. This is something we are working on. And of course don’t forget to throw the outer carton packaging in the paper bin.

What are the benefits of organic cotton incontinence material?

Cotton is soft and breathable which decreases the chance of irritation around your vulva and vagina. Many incontinence material brands put plastics and absorbent chemicals like superabsorbent polymer (SAP) which can cause irritation. Yoni pads and liners for urine loss do not contain these chemicals and are made of 100% organic cotton.

Can you use menstrual pads/sanitary pads for urine loss?

For the best protection against urine loss, it’s best to use incontinence material and not menstrual pads or liners. Menstrual products work differently than incontinence material. Incontinence material is made specifically to absorb urine which is thinner and comes out in larger quantities than menstrual blood. Also, Yoni incontinence material has natural odour control to protect you against the odour that is released from urine. So, it’s best to use incontinence products for urine loss to get the best protection you need. If you are on your period and also experiencing urine loss then it is fine to use menstrual pads/sanitary pads.

Incontinence material is made specifically to absorb urine which is thinner and comes out in larger quantities than menstrual blood.

Do Yoni products protect just as well as mainstream brands?

Yes! Organic cotton is not only better for your body and the planet, but it's also highly absorbent and will protect you from leakage as well as synthetic products. The difference is that it's more breathable and causes less skin irritation or vaginal irritation. Also our pads and liners stay in place due to the strong adhesive backing which is also biodegradable.

How to know if you have bacterial vaginosis?

A significant increase of vaginal discharge is usually a sign of bacterial vaginosis. Also, itchiness and a strong fishy odour are symptoms. Vaginal discharge increases even more after your menstruation and after sex. This discharge is a waterier than the discharge caused by a yeast infection. If you have these symptoms visit your doctor.

How do you know if you have a yeast infection?

All women have vaginal discharge. If your discharge suddenly changes it may be a symptom of a yeast infection. Other symptoms of a yeast infection are an itching or burning sensation in and around your vagina, a white odourless discharge (a yeast infection doesn’t smell!). Also peeing might hurt as well as sex. If you have these symptoms visit your doctor.

Can pads, tampons or liners cause a vaginal yeast infection or a bacterial vaginosis?

Products that contain synthetics materials like rayon can stimulate the growth of bacteria, because they do not breath as much as cotton tampons, pads and liners. This can lead to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. Not all cotton is created equal however, be sure to use organic cotton as conventional cotton is heavily sprayed with pesticides and insecticides which can also cause vaginal irritation. Yoni products are made from 100% organic cotton.
