Cora Organic Cotton Non-Applicator Tampons (36 Regular Non-Applicator Tampons)

I am always looking for ways to reduce waste and plastic in my life. Menstrual products are an area that I’ve struggled to find a good balance of performance/comfort and low environmental impact. Then along came Cora Tampons. First off the bat, they come in a tiny little box! Seriously so small! Even less waste. The tampons are easy to unwrap and are tiny themselves. I found the lack of an applicator to be a non-issue. It’s easy to insert and no pinchy applicator creating more plastic waste. I’ve found these to be the most comfortable tampons I’ve used, ever. Not sure if it’s the size or shape, but I can’t feel these and I usually can other tampon brands and that’s super uncomfortable. But not only are Cora tampons comfortable to use, I’ve found the absorption to be better than the conventional big name tampon brands. Plus on top of all that, they’re 100% organic cotton which I feel good about putting in my body and in my support of organic cotton production. These are my brand from now on!

Good quality and ideal without applicator

Comfortable and no leakage for my regular flow. I love the OB no-applicator tampons but these are healthy organic cotton! Space saving and discrete.

I haven't worn tampons in years until this last year when we went on vacation. These are light weight and feel comfortable. I dont get a itch or burn sensation, like i did with the tampons i used to wear years ago. I like that theres no applicator to throw away and all natural. My daughter also likes them.

I’ve used these tampons before looking for a good cruelty free option with less chemicals. I like these, but there’s pros and cons to all tampons. Use what works best for you! I didn’t receive my package though.

I used to order these directly from CORA but after they had shipping issues twice I was so glad to find them on Amazon. They are so comfortable, only tampons I use!

Very interested to try these. Been wanting to try a lower waste product!

-First I want to say, read the product description ladies, these are non-applicator tampons. Most of the reviews that were less than 5 stars state it is because they don't have an applicator. That being said, they are my favorite ones I've found! -I switched to organic cotton and chemical free tampons about a year ago and am glad I did. I have had much less itching since switching. -While I like the idea of using a menstrual cup because it takes the waste created by feminine hygiene products to 0, I have tried using cups in the past and I just don't think they are for me. -So then I got to thinking, what else could I do to reduce waste created during my cycle and I remembered some tampons come applicator free. And ladies, why do we need an applicator anyway? I remember when I was 11 or 12 (I started menstruating at age 11) I asked my mom why one box of tampons was so much smaller than the other boxes on the isle and I remember her saying "Well, they don't have an applicator." So I asked her, "Well how do you get them in?" And she responded, "You use your finger," and made a face that seemed to say, "ewww, gross.". Well, one thing I noticed when I switched to organic cotton and chemical free tampons and that sometimes they tend to "hang on" to the applicator after inserted and when I pull out the applicator the tampon comes out with it. And what do you do in this situation? You use your finger to put it back in. So what is the point of the applicator if you are going to have to use your finger anyway? So for me this was an easy decision to switch to non-applicator tampons. They have so much less waste than traditional applicator tampons. The tampon itself seems a lot smaller but I think thats because it's shrink wrapped. Once it contacts moisture it expands to the same size as the applicator tampon. -All in all my hippie heart feels better knowing there is so much less waste with these tampons and I have not been bothered by the switch at all.
