When I first saw the ad, I did a bit of an eye-roll, it's true. But then I thought about it and went back to really pay attention. It's important. I've tried the tampons and the pantyliners, and the products are excellent, yes, there is no question. But it's also important—this is a woman-owned company creating a healthier, more eco-friendly, and still-affordable option. You won't regret giving it a try; honest.

My experience with Lola, three months in, has been excellent. The service is great and I love being able to suspend a month if I need to with no charges. They seem like they have a well oiled machine going, emails two days before your shipment goes so you can make changes, the website is easy to use as well. Also clean products that have no chemicals and or dyes. All in all Lola is a win for me!

I love the idea of organic tampons and a subscription, no less. However, these are some of the WORST tampons I ever have used. The applicator pinched, the tampon was NOT comfortable--at all--and they leaked!! Plus, they unravel when you try to remove them! YIKES! Ladies, STAY AWAY from these.

This review is for the tampons with applicators specifically. I tried the panty liners as well and have no real negatives regarding them, but the tampon experience was so unbelievably bad it prompted this review. The tampons themselves are fine, I know some other reviewers had absorbancy issues but I found them to be on par with store brands. I normally use Tampax Pearl and I have a light to medium flow so I never need anything more than a regular. I got two supers in my Lola subscription just in case but the one I tried on my heaviest day was definitely overkill. Maybe if you have a heavy flow their supers aren't as absorbent as other supers, I really couldn't say, but the regular and light tampons are more or less equivalent to Tampax Pearl from what I saw. That being said, the problem is the applicators. They are complete and utter garbage to the point that they are unusable. The plunger that you slide into the casing to push the tampon out is too short to actually get the tampon out of the plastic shell. It pushes it out maybe half an inch when fully pushed in so when you pull the applicator back out the tampon comes with it, still just barely poking out of the shell. I tried multiple light, regular, and super tampons with the exact same result every single time. (Prepare for more graphic detail here, if you're considering this product I think it's good to know exactly what you're getting yourself into.) At this point, you now have a bloodied tampon still wedged most of the way in its applicator and have to try and get it out. I tried re-inserting and squeezing the applicator like a tube of toothpaste which will get the tampon out with some effort but at that point it wasn't in far enough to be comfortable so I still had to manually push it further in. After the fourth attempt of using the applicator with a tampon I gave up and would try it once using the plunger (which did not work once in at least 12 attempts over the course of a period) then just pulled them out of the applicator and inserted them by hand which is a horrifyingly disgusting process to me. I work in an office where we have public restrooms with toilet stalls. I cannot effectively describe the indignity of having to wait until the bathroom is empty to exit the stall so I can wash blood off my fingers from having to do this. Needless to say, after one day of that these tampons were used at home only to still attempt to give them a fair try before dismissing them as garbage. I thought surely, I just had back luck with a few of these, there's absolutely no way any self-respecting human being would put a product this terrible on the market and then have the nerve to say they were made by women, for women. 3/4 of a box later, I find I was mistaken. I assume no one working at Lola actually tried these applicator tampons before putting them on the market, because even the world's laziest QA department would have caught this issue on the first use. I was so excited about this product when I read about it. They have a great idea to get away from the chemicals and non-natural ingredients that comprise most other brands, plus being able to customize your boxes and have them shipped directly to your door is incredibly convenient. The issue is just in the quality of the product, I cannot fathom how such a massive flaw was overlooked and frankly it's completely unacceptable to sell them as applicator tampons when the applicator is unusable. I genuinely hope they address this issue, if they fix the problem I'd be happy to try another box and review it again. I really do think it's a great idea and I'd love to use it, I'm just not willing to use tampons without applicators and I'm pretty sure there's a large number of women who agree with that.

I love the company and the concept, but I found the tampons to be quite uncomfortable unfortunately. I really, really wanted to like them! I love the way Playtex sport feels--you can't even tell they are there. I LOVED the ability to be able to customize between light, regular and super. I think the super are much bigger than what you can usually get in the store. If they made some adjustments to make the tampons more wearable, I would try them again!

Easy to order online. All organic and natural materials that are safe and absorbent. Delivered to my home. So easy, I don't even have to think about it.

The products are absolute highest quality I've ever had in an organic pad. Everything that I've ordered from them is top quality and is amazing and absorbency. Not only does the company have the most amazing ethics behind them their women run for women's needs. The ordering is easy and fast and if you have any issues they are fast to fix it. Just an amazing Company don't hesitate on ordering you won't regret it

Lola's product are incredible, and very affordable. The pads are very absorbent and comfortable. The tampons are also very goodl. The ordering process is easy, and the delivery fast.
