Cardboard applicators and no-applicator tampons are better for the environment, but Dr. Greves says they’re "usually a little more difficult to use," especially for beginners. “A slim, small plastic applicator is usually what I recommend for a beginner,” she says. The Best Tampon Brands For Beginners Shape: When filled with fluid, tampons typically take three specific shapes: they either unfold side to side, unfold 360º around or just expand. No-applicator tampons mostly just expand as they don’t have an applicator to help keep their shape. Testers didn't have a significant preference to any one shape, but our Lab tests found that the styles that expand are less suited for a heavier flow as they don't hold onto liquid as well. This option has an eco-friendly cardboard applicator stem that boasts 40% less plastic waste than traditional tampons. The tampon itself is made of 100% organic cotton without any fragrances or dyes. And while it does include a plastic tip, this feature makes insertion more comfortable. If you’re switching from a fully plastic applicator, you might find the cardboard stem is a bit harder to use at first. But, with a little practice, using this eco-friendly applicator will eventually become second nature. Plus, the plastic applicator tip also offers multiple ridges for an easy grasp.
