| Q: |
|
Why didn’t you eliminate plastic entirely? |
| A: |
|
We know that comfort is essential for tampons. We wanted to create a tampon where you don’t have to choose between a comfortable insertion and reducing your plastic usage. We are taking this first step to reimagine our use of plastic and find creative solutions to reduce what we use. |
| |
| Q: |
|
Why didn’t you use recycled plastic? |
| A: |
|
Because tampons are medical devices there is a certain quality of material that is required. It’s challenging to ensure recycled plastic meets our quality standards. We’re always working on improving and open to suggestions. |
| Q: |
|
What do you mean by cotton core? |
| A: |
|
The absorbent part of the tampon that goes inside your body (NOT THE APPLICATOR THAT IS DISCARDED BEFORE USE!) |
| |
| Q: |
|
How is this making a positive impact on the environment? It’s still partly plastic. |
| A: |
|
Playtex Clean Comfort is made with 40% less plastic (than Playtex Sport Regular absorbency). This means that there is less virgin plastic entering our environment. |
