Is it no longer possible to get tampons with cardboard applicators

[MaryMotherOfCheeses]

instead of plastic ones?

Because it's really pissing me off.

Am I supposed to wash them out and put them in the recycling???

yes ..you can still buy Tampax with cardboard applicators. The plastic ones are Tampax Compak. They are quite a bit cheaper as well!

SAinsbury's own brand have gone plastic.
