Important information
Ingredients
sea sponges
Directions
Use a natural chemical-free soap or soak for 5-10 minutes in warm water with: 2-3 drops tea tree oil, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp baking soda, OR 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide (helps eliminate discoloration). Rinse sponge and squeeze out excess water. DO NOT boil your sponge! Boiling shrinks and toughens sea sponges. Clean your sponge: Prior to use for the first time, once daily during use, if the sponge develops an unpleasant odor, prior to storing. Sponges should also be completely dry before storage.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My 'green' journey next brought me to cloth pads, which I ended up loving...which then brought me to Sea Pearls sponge tampons. I initially found out about this product via Amazon, and was skeptical at first--"Wait--I put a sea sponge inside me?!" But after I did a little reading and watched a few YouTube videos, I decided to give them a whirl. And I have never been more pleased! Sea sponge tampons are an excellent alternative to regular cotton-based tampons, which contribute to our environmental footprint and contain all sorts of harmful chemicals and dyes. Personally, I was searching for a product that could be re-used easily and safely, without the harmful chemicals and without leaving a huge eco-footprint.
Although other reviews I'd read indicated that insertion can be a bit interesting, I have yet to have any issues with inserting my Sea Sponges. The manufacturer recommends sewing some dental floss to your sponges to simulate a string for easy removal, but this has not been necessary for me. As long as you relax your muscles and scrunch up the sponges before inserting them, they go in easily.
The only downfall to this product is that there is not much lee-way if you let your sponge get too full. I've noticed that if I don't empty my sponge often enough on my heavy days, I may need to wear a light panty liner as there could be some drippage during removal. With that said, if you are diligent in your rinsing, there will be no leakage issues. If you are queasy at the idea of touching your own menstrual blood, this is not a product for you. You will notice an iron scent which you're rinsing your sponge, but this is natural and usually suppressed when you use traditional tampons. I simply rinse my sponge in hot water before re-inserting, and go about my merry way. I carry an extra sponge and a plastic bag in my purse if I'm not at home. I've noticed that I have become much more comfortable with my body and its functions since switching to this product. I am more in touch with my body and my cycle than before.
I've been using my Sea Pearls for three cycles now, and I'm pleased to say that I've used maybe one or two disposable pantiliners at most--and that was only because I didn't have any clean re-usable pads available! I highly recommend this product to women of all ages who are looking for an environmentally friendly product that is re-usable, easy to use, and extremely comfortable!
Rinsing and reinserting was very easy too.
I also really appreciated that the pack came with two slightly different sizes. Having had a baby last year I assumed I would need the bigger size but I tried out the smaller one and actually found it much more comfortable, so I was able to easily trim the bigger one down to a size I liked.
I will definitely be using these going forward.
The instructions to Sea Pearls are very helpful. I also liked how they recommended to sew a cotton string to the bottom of the sponge for added convenience (as an option). I chose to do this right away. At first, these sponges look a bit odd and even large. Once you clean them the first time (I cleaned mine right away, even though they say these are cleaned and sanitized) and while the sponge is wet, it's very easy to insert (as per the directions).
These natural sponges are very comfortable, and I didn't experience the additional pain I usually do with tampons. I found the larger sponge to hold about as much as a regular sized tampon, without issues. The smaller sponge works great for lighter days. I didn't experience any leakage, but I still used a panty liner, just in case. I am really liking Sea Pearls. For being a reusable feminine product, they are rather convenient and easy to remove. Cleaning takes a bit of getting use to, but it is actually rather easy. I would recommend.

This may work for some woman and I think the idea of it is great but it obviously isn’t for me!
