Questions about DAME
Is delivery free at DAME?
Yes, DAME advertises free tracked UK shipping across the site, and the Organic Tampons Postal Pack is listed with free letterbox delivery. The homepage names no minimum order value for this. Because delivery costs nothing, a voucher code at DAME works directly on the price of the products in your basket rather than on postage.
How long do I have to return a DAME order?
DAME gives you 30 day risk free returns, as stated on its homepage next to the free tracked UK shipping. If you are unsure about a product, keep the packaging until you have decided, because the help centre sets extra conditions for some items such as period pants, which must come back unused.
Can I return DAME period pants after trying them on?
Only if they are unused and in the original packaging. DAME asks you to try period pants on over your own underwear the first time to check the size. If you think there is a fault after use, contact DAME and it will look for a solution rather than a standard return.
How does DAME Subscribe & Save work?
It sends the Organic Tampons Postal Pack automatically every 1, 2 or 3 months at £11.95 instead of £12.99, an 8% saving. You can change, pause or cancel deliveries any time. To activate a subscription you provide your card details to Shopify Inc, which hosts the store; DAME holds no card information itself.
Are DAME subscriptions available outside the UK?
No, the DAME help centre lists its subscriptions as UK only. Customers elsewhere can still buy products as one-off orders, but the regular letterbox deliveries and the subscription price are limited to UK addresses. The help centre also has sections on payments and on delivery and returns for further detail.
Which tampon absorbencies does DAME sell?
DAME sells Regular tampons absorbing 6-9ml, Super absorbing 9-12ml and Super Plus absorbing 12-15ml. The postal pack comes as Regular (34), Super (34), Super Plus (30) or as mixed packs of 17+17, such as Regular & Super. DAME advises always using the minimum absorbency that matches your flow.
What are DAME tampons made from?
DAME tampons are made from 100% certified organic cotton, with no plastic cover, synthetics or harsh chemicals. They are made to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and tested for PFAS. The wrappers are cellophane from plant cellulose, certified 'OK Compost' home compostable, and biodegrade within 2-4 months or 1 month in freshwater.
How should I wash DAME period pants?
Rinse them in cold water first, then add them to an existing dark wash at up to 40°c and let them air dry. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as both affect absorbency, and never tumble dry them. DAME suggests changing period pants every 8-12 hours, or more often on heavy days.
Who runs DAME and where is the company based?
DAME is run by Sanitary Owl Limited, trading as wearedame.co, a company registered in England and Wales with number 08509842. Its registered office is Evolution House, Delft Way, Norwich, NR6 6BB, and its EU address is Suite 143, 3 Lombard Street East, Dublin, D02 HC78. The VAT number is 208 677 093.
Do I need an account to order from DAME?
Yes, DAME's terms say you must be an individual and set up an account by completing the registration form in the checkout. You give a valid email and delivery address. Once logged in, you can see the details of your order or subscription, including your next scheduled deliveries.
Does DAME supply period products for workplaces?
Yes, DAME offers sleek washroom dispensers with plastic-free tampons and pads for workplaces, and its menu also lists stadiums, hotels and stockists. One example: DAME installed 27 club-branded dispensers at Bristol Rovers' stadium, working with Her Game Too. Businesses reach DAME through the Learn more and Contact us links.
DAME: organic, toxin-free period care delivered through your letterbox
DAME is a B Corp certified period care brand run by Sanitary Owl Limited from Norwich. It sells organic cotton tampons and pads, leak-proof period pants, reusable pads and a period cup, all made without toxins and certified vegan. The shop suits anyone who wants to move away from plastic-based disposables, whether that means a monthly tampon delivery or reusable pants that last for many cycles.
Orders ship free with tracking across the UK, and a voucher code from save-up.co.uk can lower the price of your basket further before you pay.
A range built around every kind of flow
The DAME menu is organised by product type rather than by brand, because everything on the site is DAME's own. If you do not know where to start, a short quiz on the homepage asks what you are looking for and how your flow is, then suggests matching products and can email the result to you. Tampons come in Regular, Super and Super Plus, while period pants carry an absorbency rating so you can compare styles.
- Period Pants, including High Waist styles and options for heavy flow
- Reusable Pads in 4 sizes
- Tampons & Pads made from organic cotton
- Period Cup
- Bundles
- Reusable Tampon Applicator with travel pouch and bathroom tin
Subscriptions that fit through the door
The Organic Tampons Postal Pack is DAME's answer to running out at the wrong moment. You choose your absorbency mix, including split packs of 17+17, and a delivery every 1, 2 or 3 months. The envelope box is designed to fit through 95% of UK doors, so it lands on your mat like post. Subscriptions are available in the UK only, and you can skip, pause or cancel them from your account whenever your needs change. Card details are handled by Shopify Inc, which hosts the store, so DAME itself holds no card data.
Ways to keep the cost of a DAME order down
Subscribe & Save is the built-in saving: the tampon pack drops from £12.99 to £11.95 per delivery. On top of that, check the code list on this page before checkout, read whether a code covers subscriptions or bundles, and enter it in the discount box after you have set up your account. Signing up to the DAME emails through the quiz also brings offers and product news. If you shop for other personal care too, you will find further Health & Beauty shops on save-up.co.uk, such as Natural Health Practice Voucher Codes, Biobees Discount Codes and NeuroScent Promo Code.

Dispensers for washrooms, stadiums and hotels
DAME also works with organisations. Its washroom dispensers stock plastic-free tampons and pads for staff and visitors, and the menu includes sections for business, stockists and hotels. Football clubs are among the users: at Bristol Rovers' stadium DAME installed 27 club-branded dispensers, and a further case study covers dispensers sponsored by Brunel Recycling for Plymouth Argyle. The blog explains ISO 45010, a standard on menstruation and menopause in the workplace. Alongside this, DAME partners with Girlguiding UK and reports having saved about 20 million plastic tampon applicators, which explains why the brand describes its mission as a core business objective.
