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.

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.

-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)
