How scores are calculated
Materials (40%): How plastic-free the product is — raw materials, construction, and coatings.
Packaging (20%): Is the product packaged in plastic? Is it recyclable?
Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

Conventional tampons and pads contain pesticide residues (cotton is one of the most heavily pesticide-treated crops), dioxins from chlorine bleaching, and synthetic fragrances. The vaginal mucosa is one of the most absorptive surfaces in the body.
Why We Rated It This Way
THINX reformulated their period underwear in 2020 to remove PFAS. Now OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. Reusable for 2+ years, replacing hundreds of disposable pads and tampons. A solid reusable period care option.
