Sea Pearls™ are natural, reusable Atlantic sea sponge tampons. They are a safe, efficient, dioxin- and rayon-free alternative to the ordinary single-use fibre tampons. Did you know the average woman uses over 11,000 tampons during her menstruating years? Why be the average woman?

Sea Pearls™ are natural sea sponges. Sponges are plant-like creatures growing in colonies on the ocean floor. There are over five thousand varieties, the softest of which are the Atlantic and Mediterranean Silks. As sponges are harvested, millions of egg and sperm cells are released into the surrounding water, making the sponge an ideal renewable resource that provides an ecologically sound product for menstrual use.

You can buy Sea Pearls™ Natural Sea Sponge Tampons at your local chemist, most natural food stores and beauty salons. If your local store doesn't carry them, please request that they do so!

• Boil your sponge and wash before first use.
• Wash thoroughly during regular use, i.e. after sponge becomes full.
• Wash and dry completely before storing.
• Sea sponges are sustainable and reusable, but after 3-6 months check integrity of sponge and discard if it has begun to disintegrate. *Disintegration or biodegrading is normal and does not in itself pose a health risk, but your sponge will not function at its original capacity.
• For heavy flows, anecdotal evidence suggests that you can use two sponges at once, but check with your holistic healthcare provider if you have questions.
