Customer Reviews of Tampax Pearl Plastic Regular Absorbency, Unscented Tampons, 54-Count Boxes
Customer Review: Happy with the convenience and price of ordering on Amazon
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these tampons through amazon because of the featured price and coupon. The compact versions are always more convenient, but the function is the same. Packaging was easy and the product included coupons. Thanks Amazon for making my life easier!Customer Review: Performs Well but Trashes Environment
Summary: 2 Stars
I tried the sample Tampax Pearl tampons included with a box of their regular cardboard applicator tampons. I had no problem with the performance of the tampon (although it was a bit more difficult to use), but I'm quite bothered by the production and disposal of this product. It feels so wasteful to use plastic so briefly and then toss it in the trash. The plastic is made from oil, which keeps us dependent on other countries and pollutes the air, and then it lingers on in landfills or floats out to sea. It was recently reported that whale carcasses washing up on California's beaches had plastic tampon applicators in their stomachs, among other debris.
No, I think Tampax would do better to improve upon their cardboard applicators which at least can be sourced from recycled paperboard or from sustainably managed forests. Or perhaps I'll forgo the applicator all together and just use o.b. tampons.
