Tampon Questions


Question Posted Sunday January 14 2007, 1:53 am

Has anyone used Playtex Beyond Tampons? With the flushable cardboard applicator?
1. Are the wrappers flushable?
2. How is the leak protection?
3. Do you know of any other rounded tip applicator tampons that are flushable that work well?

Any other comments will do fine.

P.S. 13/F... going on a two night trip for school and I'm sure I'll have my period during the trip so I need great tampons.

i use tampax and that works just fine for me. i've always used them.i get the super in petite or the ones that are pocket size.they do have rounded tip applicaters you just have to look for them in cardbord instead of plastic. im not sure if the pocket size minis come in plastic but the regular size should. you can flush the cardboard with the paper wrapper down the toilet but it also depends on the toilet system because the toilets can get clogged but thats with any card board applicater. if your going to a hotel or motel to stay then id say your safe on flushing them. but most girls bathrooms have little bins to dispose of tampons and pads inside the stall.

If i were you I would visit your pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist about your fears and the trip. Have them recommend something for you that will not leak etc. so there's no worries. I know it sounds embarassing to do this but trust me, there's thousands of girls before you who have asked for a pharmacist's help in choosing the right feminine products.

After all, this is their job and they get paid for it and see lots of people with far more embarrasing questions and conditions. Enjoy your trip. I hope it goes well for you.

1. Are the wrappers flushable?
-No. only the applicator is-I flushed it accidentally and clogged a toilet at school. Don't do it!! lol

2. How is the leak protection?
-Veryyyy Good! :) way better than a pad.

3. Do you know of any other rounded tip applicator tampons that are flushable that work well?
-Try googling it!.. (I would for you, but I'm on my cousin's computer and I'm pretty sure they'd be creeped out if I was looking up about tampons)
only search advicenators.com


Hope I helped!
