Your trusted tampon, re-imagined

Tampons can potentially stretch or tear the hymen, but it's not a guaranteed or common occurrence. The hymen is a thin membrane that partially covers the opening of the vagina in some individuals. It can vary in thickness and elasticity from person to person. When inserting a tampon, if done carefully and gently, it typically shouldn't cause damage to the hymen. However, if a person's hymen is particularly thin or if they have a medical condition called imperforate hymen (where the hymen completely covers the vaginal opening), there is a slightly higher chance of the tampon causing some stretching or tearing.

It's important to note that the hymen can naturally stretch or tear over time due to various activities such as exercise, horseback riding, gymnastics, or even normal vaginal development. Sexual activity can also impact the hymen, but it's not the only factor in hymen integrity. In many cultures, there is a misconception that an intact hymen is a sign of virginity, but this is not a reliable indicator. Hymens can vary greatly in appearance and resilience, and not all individuals with intact hymens have never engaged in sexual activity.

Keep in mind that virginity is a social construct and a cultural concept, not a biological reality. It is reshaped by societal norms and expectations, rather than an inherent physical state.

We have conducted safety testing, including vaginal irritation, sensitisation, material-mediated pyrogenicity, microbiology and effect on TSS-toxins. Some of our studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders. All Daye studies are designed and reviewed by an independent Clinical Advisory Board, comprising physicians, clinicians and researchers specialising in gynaecological health.

Producing tampons to our strict safety and sustainability standards does come at a cost. But we've worked hard to keep our Organic Tampons competitively priced with other premium organic options. Our Coated Tampons provide great value too - you'd pay more buying a quality organic tampon and a separate relief product. With Daye, you get both in a single easy-to-use tampon.

Our commitment to sustainability starts with our Organic Tampons, made from 100% organic cotton, ethically sourced from trusted partner farms. We've paired the cotton fibers with a bespoke, high-concetration formulation optional in our Coated tampons. Every batch is scrutinized for microbial contamination and cannabinoid content in an accredited, third-party lab, so you can feel confident about the products you are using in your most sensitive areas.
