Lil-lets replaces plastic applicator tampon

Lil-lets has announced that as part of its sustainability mission, it will no longer manufacture its plastic applicator tampon, as of November 2021. 

The company will replace the product with a new design as it has unveiled its reusable tampon applicator.

The tampon applicator can be cleaned between uses and has been designed with comfort in mind, being slimline and smooth, with a rounded tip for easy insertion. It’s also got a handy lid, so you can load your tampon into the applicator without having to touch any of the insertion tube. 

Environmental activist Ella Daish said: “It’s fantastic to see a major brand like Lil-Lets really leading the change in the period industry by not only removing plastic applicators from their products, but also stepping into the reusable market with their applicator! We need more companies to follow their lead in taking steps that are better for people and the planet.”
