There are two different types of applicators that you can choose from when buying tampons. One is plastic and the other is cardboard. Which one is better to use?
Well the answer to that question depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a tampon that inserts easily and comfortably one with a plastic applicator would be your best bet.
If you don’t mind about comfort or how easy it is to insert a tampon and you are concerned with helping out the environment, cardboard would be your best choice.
There are a lot of people these days that are starting to be more aware of the environment and are starting to do things to make it so that our planet becomes more sustainable. Plastic is a material that is very hard to recycle since it is made of synthetic materials whereas cardboard is made from natural resources such as trees. Plastic cannot decompose very easily. It takes years and years before it breaks down, so by using plastic the waste hills are just growing bigger and bigger. In order to help cut down on plastic usage a lot of people are starting to buy environmental friendly products. Such products include: tampons with cardboard applicators, recycled products and natural soaps and detergents.
You might think that a little plastic applicator for a tampon doesn’t make a difference. But just think about it, you aren’t the only woman using plastic applicators there are millions of women who use plastic applicators. If one woman in every city were to stop using plastic applicators just think of the difference that would make.
By using tampons with cardboard applicators you are making a difference and taking one step to a healthier planet.
I’m not saying that tampons with plastic applicators are bad, because truthfully they do insert easier, all I’m saying is that by taking a different look at the picture you can really help.
