Veeda100% Natural Cotton Tampons - Lite Absorbency with leak proof protection - Compact BPA-Free Applicator - Unscented & Free from Chlorine, Toxin - 16 Count

A lot of these reviews are confusing. Buying organic tampons makes a ton sense for your body; if it’s the environment you’re concerned about, using any disposable menstrual product that’s delivered to you personally by fossil fuel vehicle is a bad thing. Putting a cardboard applicator into the trash is no better than a plastic one- unless you are using biodegradable trash bags everywhere you go too. Anyway, the main problem like others stated is the applicators get stuck half the time. No, you don’t need to throw them away when that happens. Everyone who uses applicator free tampons or menstual cups washes their hands after insertion (hopefully before, too) and survives. One drop of menstruales blood on your fingers will not kill you. Are you guys also *never* having period sex? I get that it’s a tiny bit gross but it’s ok... grab life by the horns. Our ancestors used moss and plant matter.The more pressing issue is that sometimes during the malfunctioning applicator use it PINCHES. Ouch. Please don’t make a product that hurts people!

I really, really wanted to like these tampons. I wanted a more natural tampon. And in our area, it's about impossible to find light tampons of any brand. So when I found these online, I was actually super excited to get and use them. I was excited to find a more natural tampon that had the light version. I ordered them and ended up with 3 boxes. And should have saved my money. The applicator on these tampons, plastic applicator actually and don't get me started on an all natural company using a plastic applicator, is absolutely AWFUL! I think I lost at least a half a box of tampons or more because they just would not come out of the applicator. I lost at least 6 if not more tampons from each box because of the applicator. These tampons just won't come out of the applicator no matter which way you turn them or which way you try to insert them. I had to go through 4 tampons in one sitting to find one that would actually release from the applicator and stay where it belonged. I had no issues with absorbency and they were relatively comfortable when I was wearing them as long as I could get them in correctly. However, I did only use the light in this brand so I can't speak to the higher absorbency varieties, but they worked well for light days when I needed them. But the dang applicator!!! It just ruined these tampons. The company seriously needs to rethink the applicators. I won't buy them again unless they completely redesign and change the applicators on these tampons. C'mon Veeda. Do better, make better! Be the change, Veeda, be the applicator change we need!

I will never buy this again. I don't have heavy periods and I want to try a more natural product. The thing I really hate it applying it. The applicator is so cheap that you manually have to insert it. HATE HATE HATE

I love these, I use lights a long and they are becoming increasingly harder to find, which is why I started buying them online - because the stores in my area arent carrying lights anymore :( Ive been wanting to switch to organic tampons but they have been so expensive. These ones however are not, they are very affordable and much better for my body. My only complaint is that that when you insert it, the final "click" you usually feel when the tampon itself has completely been inserted and removed from the applicator, that "click" doesn't happen and it can sometimes take 2 hands to get it to separate from the applicator...

I love that these are all natural! I no longer have the pain, burning and irritation like I did with the big box brands. I am allergic to a chemical substance they use on the string to help stop leaking. These tampons are a little shorter and that makes for a much better fit. Don't even feel them that's how comfortable they are. I have a pretty lite flow so these work great for me. Was able to wear them 6 hours during the day and 8 hours overnight without any leaking. As for the difficulty with the applicators. They are a little tricky but once I figured it out I have had no more problems. They take a little more push to get them all the way out and because they are shorter you have to hold them just so inorder to not pinch the string and cause them to stay in the applicator. Overall, very happy! Will be ordering more!

Horrible. The tampon does not come out of the applicator. I tried 4 separate ones and then gave up. Also, why a plastic applicator to begin with? Hypocritical for a company that is selling itself as all natural. Will never buy again.

I unfortunately didn't use these right away and am now outside of the return window. I read the reviews and had high expectations for these - but they simply didn't work. I bled through two of them while at work, each within about 5 minutes, so the issue wasn't saturation. Haven't bled through a tampon onto clothing since I was about 12. Mortifying.

To use this comfortably, you need to appreciate that before use you need to pull the plunger back, so that the plunger touches the very end of the tampon, where the string comes out. No part of the tampon itself should be inside the plunger at the time of use (when you open the package, half of the tampon is inside the plunger). Then once in the body, push the plunger all the way until the ring at the end of the plunger touches the ring at the end of the barrel, resulting in full ejection. Then remove them. This way the plastic pieces can't pinch.

I wanted a more natural alternative to regular tampons as they're recorded as having chemicals in. These tampons were a nightmare. They don't release easily from the applicator and I wasted many because of this (I bought applicator to bed for a reason!!). Won't be buying again. I noticed that they didn't expand as much either even though I got the same absorbancy (lite) as I normally have.

The applicator doesn’t do it’s job

Tried these as I always have pain using other branded tampons. Didn’t get that with these and love the fact they are natural.

ja, vielleicht ist dies grundsätzlich ein leichter Denkfehler meinerseits, dass etwas das mit "natürlich" ausgeschildert ist, aussieht wie ein Recycling-Verpackung, gut und vor allem gut für die Natur sein muss. Doch ich bin schwer enttäuscht. Jedes einzelne Tampon ist in einer Art Plastikspritze eingebettet (was drauf steht auf der Verpackung, leider muss ich gestehen hab ich es überlesen) mit der man es einführen kann und das Ganze ist jeweils nochmals in einem Plastikbeutel eingepackt. Finde dieses Müll produzieren unmöglich.

I use this product for other purpose than was meant to be used, I use it as a detoxing viginal cleaner and found they were easy to use and wear, plus I love that they are made of cotton and the size is perfect and the absorbency is excellent, I am thinking about buying another box for use in the future.
