Tampax compact

[Keratinsmooth]

Omg what the fuck is this?! They are awful!!! Awful plastic applicator, awful discomfort. I’m worried that women might think that is normal?!

I can't use cardboard applicators as I can never grip them enough, I only use tampon compak but shudder every time due to the plastic use.
Interested in the reusable plastic applicator that a pp mentioned so I will look into that.

@PurpleDaisies totally agree
Why did they ever start making them , finger or card should be enough , we don't need plastic for that too

There's a lot of environmental activity on Twitter about tampax at the moment.

I absolutely hate tampax compact. Painful, don’t go in far enough and so wasteful with the plastic.
I don’t think much of normal tampax either tbh. The best most comfortable ones I’ve found are Morrison’s own brand.

I can't stand cardboard applicators, I really struggle to grip and get the inner tube moving.

Compak are my preferred, and would use Pearl if nothing else was available

I think the reusable ones I was thinking of are by Dame. There's also one by TOTM.
