Frequently Asked Questions

We are moms of teens! We didn’t want our daughters putting non-organic products with harmful chemicals and dioxins in the most absorbent part of their body, so we set out to find the healthiest Organic options out there. We also wanted our daughters to embrace having their period, and not feel embarrassed. We wanted to help remove the stigma and change the conversation by having fun with the brand, bringing humor, full transparency, and better design to the whole experience!

Our campaign line, “No Toxins, Period” speaks to the organic, healthy aspect of the brand but has a much bigger meaning as well. To live your best life, you need to be free of toxins of all kinds - toxic relationships, toxic thoughts, toxic social situations, and yes, toxic products.

MyBoxShop. No toxins, Period.

What you put inside your body is important.  We care about your health.  Our tampons are made with healthy organic cotton which is grown without pesticides or insecticides, and they free of any chemicals, dyes, bleach or fragrances.

We have included a diagram to show you how insert a tampon in the tampons section of the website where the images are. Also, each box of tampons comes with special instructions on how to safely insert a tampon.

A Menstrual Cup is a cup with stem on the end (for removal) that is made of flexible medical grade silicone. You fold the cup to insert into your vagina and then when you release the fold it forms a seal, and it collects menstrual fluid. You can keep it in for up to 12 hours, depending on how heavy your flow is. You pull the stem to remove the cup, empty it, rinse with mild soap and water, and then you can reinsert for another 12 hours. It's a great alternative to tampons!

We have detailed directions and diagrams on the Menstrual Page on the website. Your MyBoxShop menstrual cup will also come with a User Guide. If it's your first time, it can take a little getting used to but once you've done it a few times most women never want to go back to using tampons!
