Tampons don’t need plastic applicators

Did you know that non-applicator tampons contain up to 97% less plastic than their plastic cousins. That's because they're still a tampon inside, but without the plastic casing (applicator) outside.

They're also conveniently small, so can easily fit into a pocket or purse

i am the same person who posted the earthworm and microplastics comment i would just like to ask if you could please use less microplastics.

If only applicator tampons work for you I suggest using a reusable tampon applicator. That way you can be good for the environment and still use an applicator. Li lets do really good reusable tampon applicators. But that is my personal opinion. I hope I maybe helped.

I care about the environment a lot so it is breath that there are blogs like this. I personally use reusable pads to be good for the environment since I don’t want to use tampons yet.
