Cora's organic tampons offer everything you could possibly want: highly absorbent cotton; cute, discreet packaging; and an incredible price. A 36-count (containing 18 regular and 18 super) comes in under $13. You can even subscribe on Amazon so your tampons will arrive at your doorstep every month without you even having to think about it.

Rael

Certified Organic Cotton Menstrual Overnight Pads

For $18, you get 24 of these 100% organic cotton padsthat reviewers swear are not only safe and non-irritating but also comfortable and absorbent enough to get away with wearing all night. "These are simply the best overnight pads. Period! They are long enough, wide enough, and comfortable," said one reviewer. "My periods are heavy and … I have had no leaking issues or irritation, whatsoever. These are comfortable and as discreet and functional as the national plastic blister brands. However, Rael brand won't be in the landfills for 500 to 800 years. I'm sold."

Lena

Menstrual Cup

For those unfamiliar, menstrualcups are flexible little silicone cups that you insert into the vagina and leave in for up to 12 hours. The cup creates a seal around your cervix so it will catch your flow without leaking. After 12 hours,tug onthe little stem at the bottom to break the seal, pour the contents into the toilet, give the cup a little rinse, andplace it back in. The Lena cup is the product I personally use. It has almost 6000 Amazon reviews and a 4.5-star rating.

L.

Organic Tampons

If you're hell-bent on finding a natural tampon option with a traditional plastic applicator, go for L.'s organic tampons, whose applicators areBPA-free. A 48-count of regular absorbency tampons costs $20and comes in this very cute packaging.

Oi

100% Organic Cotton Ultra Thin Pads

These ultra-thin pads are organic, hypoallergenic, and highly reviewed on Amazon. As one user wrote, "Best pads ever! I was so surprised at how awesome these absorbed, held up, and DID NOT LEAK! Even on my heaviest days they held up. They held in place I had absolutely no issues with the adhesive. … These left me fresher and NO uncomfortable rash, itching or irritation! Hooked for life."

Heart Felt

Sanitary Reusable Cloth Menstrual Pads

Most of us aren't used to the idea of reusable pads, but users swear that once you make the switch, you'll never go back. Just think of how much better they are for the environment! And so much more absorbent. If you're curious about them, this seems to be the brand to try. "I've tried four different brands of reusable pads. These are by far the best," one reviewer wrote.

Over 200 Amazon reviewers have tried and liked these organic pads (of which you get 20 for $14). "I have experienced irritation from other well-known brands of pads. These pads are a lifesaver!" one user wrote. Pro tip:Reviewers do recommend these for light-to-moderate flow (not heavy).
