I have stopped using conventional, drugstore tampons, since I heard that they have harmful chemicals, like rayon, and use bleaching...I wouldn't want to have contact with either.
I now use natural, 100% organic cotton tampons, which are fine, except for the fact that all of them have a cardboard applicator. I understand that natural means natural, so no plastics...but is their a natural tampon with a more comfortable design? I don't mind using cardboard tampons, but I noticed that it's hard to grip the natural tampons during application.
If any of you know of the most comfortable organic cotton tampon, please let me know.

It's a barrier that tucks into the vagina and collects menstrual blood. It's 100% re-usable aand doesn't absorb anything but rather catches it. You can then clean it out and keep using it later on.
