Are Cardboard Applicator Tampons Safe?

The cardboard tampon applicator is one of the first applicators to be invented and is an applicator that is made out of cardboard that helps you insert your tampon. At Blume, we offer cardboard applicators that are rounded for easier insertion and are 100% biodegradable, non threatening to your body and the planet.

Are cardboard applicator tampons good?

Non-applicator tampons are an obvious choice, but if you do prefer an applicator for insertion, consider switching to cardboard. Cardboard applicators are firstly biodegradable. So, if they do end up in the landfill they will break down naturally. They can also be composted if you have the facilities.

Do cardboard tampons hurt?

Some people find cardboard applicators to be uncomfortable for insertion. Plastic applicators slide into the vagina easier. Applicator-free tampons are also an option if you prefer to use your fingers for insertion.
