Equate Tampons, Light, Regular and Super Absorbency, Cardboard Applicators, Unscented, 54 Count

comparable and just as good as other similar brands for less. I will say that the tampon itself could be made of higher quality fibers and ingredients such as cotton rather than synthetic fibers. That usually comes at a greater cost though. I was however surprised to see that these had castor oil on the ingredients list as well- so beware if you happen to have a castor allergy. They come in paper and the applicators themselves are fully cardboard. the box is also cardboard. it's a great budget (and greener than plastic) option than most. They do what they're supposed to do but definitely aren't a top of the line tampon made with natural ingredients. I fully recommend them if you're on a budget though and I really have no complaints because similar high end brands are selling the exact same thing for twice as much.

Appreciate having the non-plastic applicator and paper wrapper option. This was the first time that I wasn't able to find them in-store and ordered them while I was standing in the aisle, looking for them because I don't like using the plastic applicators. I cannot imagine how many of those are being discarded into our landfills. The cardboard applicator is still creating garbage but at least it's more degradable. Thank you for that option.

I like these just as much as the more expensive brands. I will say that some of the cardboard applicators become bent, making them more challenging to administer, but overall, I appreciate the savings. I buy this mixed box and an extra box of super--yeah, that's my life. :)

Didn't realize these were cardboard applicators. I didn't even know those were still around! If you can get plastic applicators, go with those. The cardboard ones aren't very comfortable to put in, I feel like they leaked, but that could've been my flow, and it's kinda hard to push the bottom part through the top part because it's cardboard. But you are helping the planet since it's biodegradable and plastic isn't.

Did not realize these had cardboard applicators. The gals in the house did not like them. Walmart gracefully accepted them back for the plastic applicator type. Thanks, Walmart.

I would not have bought these tampons had I known they had a cardboard applicator. I feel like it's 1997 and I'm a teenager digging around trying to get it out. What the heck Walmart?!

I've used the cardboard applicator tampons for years. Unfortunately they have changed the design of a normal cylinder shaped cardboard applicator to one more like a plastic applicator with the prong like end. The prongs spread out and scratch you inside as you are inserting the tampon. I've never written a review before, but felt I needed to warn women of this horrible product. Obviously they didn't test their new design or else didn't care.

I do NOT like the cardboard applicator. SUPER uncomfortable trying to get it in and the paper it comes in is also inconvenient. I can't tuck the used applicator back in the paper like I could the plastic ones for a cleaner disposal. Also, the applicator feels like it's going to fall apart just trying to get it out of the paper. I don't like these at all! And unfortunately I couldn't find these specific three size tampons in the same box with plastic applicators by equate. Please change it!

DO NOT GET Not worth it and make sure you read the box before you buy because I didn't know these were cardboard applicators I got these as an substitute and they're terrible cheaply made and WHY do yall think someone wants to shove cardboard up their parts Walmart should be ashamed for selling this 😡

Nobody uses cardboard applicators please get rid of them. Half the time you're pushing the tampon up in your vagina without the cardboard because the cardboard gets stuck. It hurts. It has no grip and it's not easy to use. And I'm sure the cardboard is recycled and reused and that is disgusting.
