The Lola Story: How It Got Started

LOLA, which is also called MyLOLA, was founded by two entrepreneurial women, Alexandra Friedman and Jordana Kier, who identified a problem in feminine care and decided to solve it.

The story of LOLA began when the two co-founders researched feminine hygiene products but couldn’t figure out what was inside them.

They realized the problem of lack of transparency about what women were putting into their bodies existed and decided to create organic tampons with no toxic ingredients.

Did you know that some tampons are made with polyethylene? Alexandra and Jordana say they didn’t know what polyethylene was but for years they had been putting it in their bodies via brand name tampons.

They knew an opportunity for greater transparency existed, and LOLA was born.

As a testament to how well the co-founders have succeeded, Lola tampons reviews have been almost universally positive. So how does MyLola work?

LOLA Tampons Review: How It Works

The step-by-step process of selecting feminine products (read: My Lola Tampons) from LOLA involves first picking the organic cotton product that meets your needs.

You choose whether you want:

  • Ultra-thin LOLA pads with wings
  • Ultra-thin LOLA liners
  • Non-applicator LOLA tampons
  • Applicator LOLA tampons

LOLA tampon product selection

Once you have selected your product, choose your assortment options that are customizable to meet your needs.

Next choose how many boxes you want so that you’re prepared for upcoming cycles.

And finally, select the frequency with which you would like to receive your LOLA tampons, pads and liners. For example, you could get two boxes shipped to you every other month.

LOLA gets extra brownie points for its no commitments policy; you can modify, skip or cancel your box anytime.

A soothing touch LOLA provides is the comforting text inside the box which says:

“This too shall pass”

As a company founded by women for women, these thoughtful features go a long way towards winning customer loyalty.

Lola Tampons Price

When you order your first boxes with LOLA, you enjoy discount pricing as follows:

Non-applicator Tampons18$9$16$24

LOLA is highly customer-focused, which is evident in many small ways. For example, if you want to skip a month for some reason, you won’t get charged. It’s not like a gym membership that obligates you to pay regardless of whether you use it.

At LOLA, you pay only for the boxes you get. After your initial orders, prices increase for ongoing monthly subscriptions.
