Founder Interview
Tampon Tribe Founder Jennifer Eden on a New Kind of Menstrual Care
Menstruation is completely natural, but the same can’t be said about a vast majority of period products. Tampons and pads -- the most common choices -- often use plastics and can carry toxic chemicals. Exposing consumers to these toxins vaginally, where substance absorption can be 10x to 80x higher than oral administration, could have serious health implications.Tampon Tribe is looking out for both the planet and women with sustainable, organic period products. Its product line includes vegan and compostable pads and liners, silicone-free and recyclable menstrual cups, and comfortable period underwear. We reached out to co-founder and CEO Jennifer Eden to hear more about the inspiration behind the company and Tampon Tribe’s pandemic experience.
