The claim, plainly

Aunt Flow's tampons are about 12% more expensive than legacy market alternatives like Kotex or Playtex.

Assessment

The claim that Aunt Flow's tampons are approximately 12% more expensive holds true specifically for its entry-level commercial B2B product line, but substantially understates the price premium of its flagship organic and retail offerings. In the commercial/institutional vending space, Aunt Flow's Universal Vended Value Tampon line ($0.232 per unit) sells at an 8.9% to 12.1% premium over standard legacy commercial distributor pricing (such as Tampax 500-count vending refills at $0.207–$0.213 per unit). However, Aunt Flow's standard organic cotton applicator tampons ($0.344 per unit wholesale) and direct-to-consumer retail packs ($0.556 per unit) carry a 60% to 165% premium over traditional legacy retail and commercial brands like Kotex and Playtex ($0.21 to $0.38 per unit).

Aunt Flow's Universal Vended Value Tampons sell at $0.232/unit ($116 per 500-count case), which is an 8.9% to 12.1% premium over standard legacy commercial vending refills ($0.207 to $0.213/unit).
Aunt Flow's flagship Bulk Organic Cotton Tampons ($0.344/unit) represent a 60% to 130% premium over legacy commercial vending alternatives.
Aunt Flow's direct-to-consumer retail packs ($0.556/unit) trade at a 63% to 165% premium over legacy retail packs from Playtex and U by Kotex ($0.21 to $0.38/unit).
