Plastic is awful for the environment!!
We've been educated in the last few years on how bad plastic straws are for the environment and companies are starting to use them less. So how is it that plastic tampon applicators are not being discouraged as well? And why are the biodegradable cardboard applicators slowly becoming less available as if they're being phased out instead of encouraging women to use the...

Please Bring Back the Old Design!!!!
After yet another struggle with break through bleeding due to the new design of tampax, I decided to write a review, and to my surprise I am not the only one begging P&G to bring back the old design. I have used Tampax for 25 years and had never even considered changing brands. But now I find myself looking at other products. And based on the reviews I just read, it loo...

Disappointed...trash design
I would not recommend this tampon to my enemy. This is the hardest tampon to insert. The tip is loose, the application is soft and trash, it crushes as you try to use it. Then the whole thing dismantles as you try pushing it out. Worst experience, almost ruined my river party.

Can’t find cardboard anymore!
Where can we find these cardboard applicator tampons! All the box stores are now only carrying the plastic ones. What a waste of plastic! And they’re so cold!
And Amazon is selling for mostly ridiculous prices.
Bring these back to store shelves!

I HATE this product SO MUCH
I have always used tampax tampons with the plastic applicator. Store was out so instead of switching brands I thought I would give these cardboard ones a try. The cardboard collapses when trying to push the inner tube. I end up having to try again with a new one. I’m wasting more than I am using! Never will I ever waste my money on these again.

Fantastic Product
I have been a cardboard user of Tampax ever since I was a teenager. While I have tried other bands and products, when I cannot find the cardboard, I have had several allergic reactions to the plastic applicators (cellulitis). Recently I have found it very difficult to find the cardboard applicators. I hope they do not go away. I do not use any other brand or product. Wh...

Can't find them anywhere anymore!
I have been using Tampax cardboard tampons for 33 years. Now all of the sudden they're not on the shelves in any stores! I refuse to use plastic applicators because they are not biodegradable and I refuse to litter the Earth with plastic tampon applicators! If the cardboard has been discontinued I guess I am forced to find a different brand to use after 33 yrs.

Love this cardboard tampons! Where can we find?!
Similar to other reviews, I have used this for the better part of 20 years and LOVE them. The multi-pack gives the perfect amount of each absorbency. They are easy to use and are effective. I have tried your other styles with plastic applicators and would always get an infection. Plus, yes these are better for biodegradable purposes! Where can we find??? Please do...

Keep the Cardboard!
The cardboard applicators are the way to go! I don’t understand why every product is going to plastic applicator at a time when we finally realize all the terrible things plastics do. I also find the cardboard applicators more comfortable than the pinchy plastic. Please, please, please keep a plastic free option!

Please don’t discontinue!!
It is becoming increasing difficult to find Tampax with the cardboard applicator both in-store and online these days. I hate plastic applicators because they are far more harmful to the environment and feel much more uncomfortable. Please do not discontinue cardboard applicator tampons, no other brands work as well as Tampax but I’ll have to switch if cardboard Tampax b...

So upset about discontinuing cardboard applicators
I am so upset that Tampax is discontinuing cardboard applicators. I’ve been using these since I was a teenager. Now I have to find a new brand that offers a cardboard applicator.

Best tampons ever.
These are the only tampons I will buy. I'll literally walk out of the store if they don't have the cardboard ones. I Hate the plastic ones. I find you can't put them in the right position and they slide around.
Please don't ever discontinue the cardboard ones. I've literally been using them for 20 years.

Okay
These tampons are good for absorbency, the cardboard applicator is not the best and is very uncomfortable to use for inserting the tampon. The cardboard applicator actually scratches me down there which was quite unpleasant

Tampons!!
I’m not a huge tampon user or lover but once in a while I would use them. These are your basic tampon and I would recommend to use when you are not too heavy. They are nothing fancy, but get the job done. These are also cardboard applicator which means Less waste so it’s good for the environment

Tampax - Old Standby
I've used Tampax tampons for years (since I was a teenager). I love that the applicators are now cardboard as they can be recycled and are better for the environment. It's nice to have the mixed pack so you can pick the size you need for you and your flow. Easy to remove as well. Holds a decent amount.

Works well
I received this package to use and I loved that it offered a variety of different sizes for different flows during the cycle. They were easy to insert and did not hurt at all and also very easy to dispose of when finished. I feel like this is good beginner product for teens looking to transition to tampons from pads.

Perfect combo pack!
I have used the Tampax mixed pack for several months and its fantastic. The jumbo mix pack has everything you need from start to finish of your period. An absorbancy for every level. The cardboard applicators are easy to use. This pack is great because there are no added perfumes or dye. This is a must have.

Horrible application
The cardboard absolutely ruined the whole experience for me. I thought this would be great and they would be simple to apply just like other tampons. Boy, was I mistaken! The experience with these was horrible. I couldn't get a grip to apply the tampon and I went through two just trying to get one in. I will never use cardboard tampons again and do not recommend.

Easy to use
These Tampax are easy to use. They aren't all weird feeling either. I like that they are discreet. I like that they do not have a cardboard smell. I think that these fit into my purse with ease. And they absorb nicely, no leaks.
