Are There Pesticides in Your Tampons? Sadly… Yes.
In 2025, you’d expect menstrual products to be safe, but a shocking report from The Guardian revealed that some tampons sold in the UK contain glyphosate — a pesticide linked to cancer — at levels 40 times higher than the legal limit for drinking water.
It’s not just scary — it’s unacceptable.
Why It’s a Big Deal
The vaginal wall is highly absorbent, which means that whatever goes into your body via tampons or towels can go directly into your bloodstream, skipping your body’s detox systems. That’s why even “tiny” amounts of toxins can have big health impacts.

Enter Selenei — one of the cleanest, kindest period care brands on the market.

Why We Stock What We’d Use Ourselves

Still Using High-Street Brands?
If your current tampons aren’t labelled organic, chances are they’re made with conventionally grown cotton, which is often treated with harsh chemicals and sprayed with pesticides. No thanks. It’s time to flip the script.
Make the Switch. Tell a Mate. Break the Cycle.
Your period care shouldn't be a risk. It's time to say goodbye to outdated, toxic products and hello to safe, organic, sustainable alternatives. Explore the Selenei range now on niwashrooms.com.
