Even some organic tampons have plastic applicators, which aren't biodegradable.
I'll admit, I was a little intimidated by what I found when I opened the box. Without the applicator, tampons themselves are alarmingly small. As in, holy cow, how do we not lose those suckers?! Each tampon was individually wrapped and looked like a little bullet.
Fortunately, the instructions were simple: wash your hands, remove the thin layer of cellophane, move the string around to help enlarge the base of the tampon, insert your pointer finger between the cotton layers, and just shove it up there! Once you get over the fact that applicator-free tampons are much more of a hands-on experience, they're really not that bad! Their compact size made them very discreet to carry , the application process was simple , and the tampons held up as I went...
Though this isn't a completely sustainable solution, it's one small step toward lessening my impact on the environment. And who knows, maybe this small reduction in plastic waste will actually make a difference in preserving this beautiful planet for the next generation.
