Period panties are typically reusable underwear that’s designed to soak up period blood. “Period panties great as an addition to a pad or tampon on heavy flow days and can be used alone on lighter days,” Dr. Shepherd says. “They’re reusable and great to carry for convenience.”Buy tampons with applicators.

Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, relax and try again! What if I still don’t succeed? This option has an eco-friendly cardboard applicator stem that boasts 40% less plastic waste than traditional tampons. The tampon itself is made of 100% organic cotton without any fragrances or dyes. And while it does include a plastic tip, this feature makes insertion more comfortable.

But, with a little practice, using this eco-friendly applicator will eventually become second nature. Plus, the plastic applicator tip also offers multiple ridges for an easy grasp. We researched the best organic tampons by analyzing which options had the least leakage, the most sustainable and least irritating ingredients, and offered the most comfort during insertion and use. We also consulted the following experts on which products they recommend to their patients:But there’s a reason why you’re thinking about joining Squad Tampon in the first place, and it probably has a lot to do with convenience. “Tampons are a great option because they don't interfere with your outfits and they makes it easy to go swimming on your period,” says Christine Greves, MD, a board-certified ob-gyn at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies in Orlando, Florida.
