According to the info on the website they are...
Sea Pearls™ are natural, reusable Atlantic sea sponge tampons. They are a safe, efficient, dioxin- and rayon-free alternative to the ordinary single-use tampons. The average woman uses over 17,000 tampons during her menstruating years. Why be an average woman?
Sea Pearls™ are natural sea sponges. Sponges are plant-like creatures growing in colonies on the ocean floor. There are over forty-five hundred varieties, the softest of which are the Atlantic and Mediterranean Silks. As sponges are harvested, millions of egg and sperm cells are released into the surrounding water, making the sponge a renewable resource that provides an ecologically sound product for menstrual use. You can buy Sea Pearls™ Natural Sea Sponge Tampons at most natural food stores. If your local store doesn't carry them, please request that they do so!
