If the tampons are biodegradable, won't they break down in my handbag?

Biodegradable products need the right environment and conditions to decompose. Our tampons won't break down if they are unopened, inside their sanitised packaging. Once used, they will break down in standard landfill conditions or your home compost within 12 weeks.

We totally understand that sustainability lingo can be confusing, so we have put together the ultimate glossary of environmental terms to help you navigate the murky waters of eco-friendly products and packaging.
