Hi and thank you for your question. I would confirm that Lil-lets, like a great many other tampons on the market today are made from a mixture of both cotton and rayon fibres, both of which have a very safe history of use. I would further confirm that there is no medical or scientific evidence to show that using a 100% cotton tampon will reduce the chances of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
Lil-lets would always advise that any form of used sanitary product is wrapped securely in tissue or the wrapper it came in and disposed of with normal household waste.
I would not advise using tampons unless your period is already here and a good tip is to try using tampons for the first time on the heaviest days of your period; usually days 2 or 3.
Hi and thanks for your question. I will pass on your comments to our Marketing Team who I am sure will look into this idea. In the meantime Lil-Lets manufacture a teen night towel designed for younger girls and an adult night towel in our FreshLOCK range, which are that extra bit longer in length to keep you protected even when moving around in your sleep.
Hi and thanks for your question. I am afraid Lil-lets Intimate Chamomile Mousse has been discontinued from the Lil-lets range due to insufficient consumer demand, and all stocks are now exhausted.
Hi Daniella, yes Lil-lets have two types of tampons for very heavy periods; Lil-Lets Silk Comfort super plus extra compact applicator tampons and Lil-Lets non-applicator super plus extra tampons. If you prefer to use towels then you will find our Lil-Lets FreshLOCK Ultra Long towels are ideal too.
Yes of course and in fact baths are a great way to alleviate period pain if you suffer with this when menstruating.
We ask that you allow 28 days for delivery, so your sample should be with you soon.
We ask that you allow up to 28 days for your sample to arrive.
On average a woman or girl will have a period every 28-31 days so about 12 a year, however, when a girl first starts menstruating it is quite common for her periods to be irregular for the first 18 months or so.
You should only use a tampon when you have your period.
Many millions of women use internal sanitary protection every day and enjoy the freedom it brings. Why not have another chat to your mum and reassure her that tampons have a very safe history of use and are a great alternative to towels and as you are now getting older you want to be able to make the choice of sanitary protection for yourself.
Hi Ava, discharge is something that lots of teenagers start to notice as they approach puberty. Both its colour and appearance can be different from one day to the next and this will be because of the increase or decrease in hormone levels in your body at any one time.
Unfortunately Lil-Lets Harmony Chamomile Mousse has been discontinued from the Lil-Lets range and all stocks are now exhausted. I will however pass on your comments to our Marketing Teams for their future reference.
We ask that you allow up to 28 days for your sample to arrive, if it still hasn't arrived after this time then drop me a line with your name and address via the 'contact us' link and I will investigate this in more detail.
I am sorry to inform you that Lil-lets Intimate Chamomile Mousse has been discontinued from the Lil-lets range due to insufficient consumer demand, and all stocks are now exhausted. However, I will be passing a copy of your e-mail to our Marketing Department for their future information.
Hi, the Lil-Let teens range of towels is available at larger branches of Sainsbury's, Boots The Chemist, Morrisons, Waitrose, Superdrug and Bodycare.
Yes, all of the Lil-lets range of tampons and towels are latex free.
Hi and thanks for the question. What a great idea, I will pass this on to our Marketing Team for their thoughts. In the meantime you may find that the empty tubs are great for storing cotton buds, make-up brushes or small change.
It's a myth that once your periods have started discharge stops. Discharge can continue to be noticed well into a woman's twenties or even thirties and is the body's way of keeping the vagina clean and healthy, so yes I would say you are perfectly normal and there is nothing to worry about.
The colour of discharge will change during the monthly cycle as will the colour of menstrual fluid as the period progresses. When a girl first starts menstruating her periods can be very irregular not only in length of time they occur but also in the type of flow they experience. I am sure after a few months she will notice a more regular pattern emerging.
A girl’s periods can be very irregular when she first starts menstruating and I am sure your daughter must be very distressed to have been menstruating non-stop for such a long time. Whilst this may be due to the change to her hormone levels as she goes through puberty, it may also be worth having a chat to your G.P. just to make sure there are no other underlying medical conditions he can identify.
Firstly, if you are at all concerned about the length of time between periods have a chat to your G.P. In the meantime to help you manage your periods why not try Lil-Lets Super Plus or Super Plus extra tampons, they are available in both applicator and non-applicator formats and are ideal for heavy and very heavy periods.
Hi Alexis, the age a girl will start her periods will be different for each and every one of us, and whilst it is common for female family members to start around the same time this is not always the case and I do not feel you have anything to worry about.
The type of absorbency you choose to use should be dictated by your flow on any one day during your menstrual cycle. For instance many women find that their period starts off with a medium flow, rising to a heavy flow on days 2 and 3 and then tailing off for the remaining days. It is wise therefore to use a selection of products that vary in absorbency to accomodate your individual requirements.
Lil-Lets tampons, like the majority of tampons sold today, are made of a combination of cotton and rayon fibres.
Hi, the Lil-Lets Silk Comfort compact applicator range is available in the following stores: Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrison's, Waitrose, the Co-op, Boots, Superdrug and Bodycare. You can also order direct via our online shop at www.Lil-Lets.co.uk.
Discharge is a creamy white fluid that ensures the vagina is kept clean and free in the most parts from infection and will change in both colour and consistency during the monthly cycle.
She may do, there is some evidence to show that girls can often follow the same menstrual pattern as their mother or sisters. But we are all very different and this may not always be the case. It is a good idea to have a chat to your daughter about her periods so she can be prepared for their arrival, you could even request one of our teen sample packs for her to keep in her bedroom drawer.
Hi and thanks for the question. Lil-Lets Harmony Rub has been discontinued from the range now for about 2 years and I am sorry to tell you all stock is exhausted. We do review our product range twice a year and I will pass your comments to our Marketing Team for their information. With regard to alleviating period pain, it may sound strange and probably the last thing you would feel like doing, but, gentle exercise has been known to reduce stomach cramps, as has the old favourite; a hot water bottle and of course if the pain is very bad there is nothing wrong with taking a pain killer every now and then.
