Quick answer
Our in-stock plastic applicator tampons are unbranded standard tampons with a 70% cotton and 30% viscose core, a long pink PE applicator with finger grip rings, a cotton withdrawal string and an individually sealed PE wrapper. There is no minimum order quantity for stock tampons. Custom printed color boxes with your brand need a minimum of 5,000 boxes.
Yes, you can buy plastic applicator tampons from stock with no minimum order quantity. Our standard “public version” tampon has a 70% cotton and 30% viscose absorbent core, a long PE plastic applicator with finger grip rings, a cotton withdrawal string and an individually sealed PE wrapper. It is ready to ship for distributors, retailers, institutions and new brands. If you later want retail cartons printed with your own brand, custom color boxes start at 5,000 boxes.
What “In-Stock” Means for This Tampon
Most tampon sourcing starts with a long private label project: artwork, packaging approval, sampling and a production slot. That route is right for many brands, but it is not the only option. Our in-stock line is a standard, unbranded tampon that we already manufacture and hold ready to ship, so buyers can order without waiting for a custom production run.
Because the product is already made, there is no minimum order quantity for the stock tampons themselves. You can order a trial quantity to check the product, supply a small account or fill a gap in your range, then reorder as demand grows. The stock tampon shown on this page is the same product you receive: a long PE applicator in pink with finger grip rings, with the tampon individually sealed in a PE wrapper.
As a factory-direct manufacturer with 15+ years of experience and more than 500 clients, we also make fully custom tampons. The stock line simply gives buyers a faster, lower-commitment entry point into the same factory.
Product Specifications at a Glance
The table below lists the confirmed specification of the in-stock tampon. Absorbency options and pack configurations are not fixed in this article: tell us the absorbency you need and we will confirm what is in stock.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Absorbent core | 70% cotton + 30% viscose blend |
| Applicator | Long PE plastic applicator, pink, with finger grip rings |
| Withdrawal string | Cotton withdrawal string |
| Individual wrapper | Each tampon sealed in a PE wrapper |
| Branding | Unbranded standard (“public version”) |
| Availability | In stock, ready to ship, no minimum order quantity |
| Absorbency | Tell us what you need; we confirm current stock |
The long applicator design is familiar to consumers in many markets and easy to use. The finger grip rings give a secure hold during insertion, and the sealed PE wrapper protects each tampon in bags, lockers and humid bathrooms.

Who Buys Stock Tampons
Stock tampons suit buyers who value speed and flexibility more than custom branding. Typical buyers include:
- Distributors and wholesalers adding tampons to an existing hygiene or pharmacy range without a large first commitment.
- Start-up brands testing demand, pricing and channels before investing in custom packaging.
- Institutions such as schools, workplaces, hotels, gyms and clinics that need reliable supply for restrooms and dispensers.
- Retailers and online sellers who want a ready product to fill a range gap quickly.
- Existing private label clients who need bridging stock while a custom order is in production.
Free-provision programmes are a growing channel as well. Scotland’s Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act 2021, for example, places duties on certain public bodies to make period products available, and similar initiatives exist in other regions. Buyers supplying these programmes often prefer simple, consistent stock products. Our guide to bulk tampons for workplaces, hotels and gyms covers that channel in more detail.
Stock Tampons vs Custom Private Label
Both routes come from the same factory. The difference is how much of the product and packaging you want to specify. Use the comparison below to decide where to start.
| Factor | In-stock tampons | Custom private label |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | No MOQ for stock tampons | Confirmed in your quotation |
| Branding | Unbranded standard tampon | Your brand on wrapper and box |
| Specification | Fixed standard specification | Core, applicator, wrapper chosen by you |
| Packaging | Standard packing or custom color boxes | Fully custom packaging |
| Timing | Ships from available stock | Depends on sampling and approvals |
| Best for | Testing, bridging, institutional supply | Established brands scaling up |
Many buyers start with stock tampons, prove demand, then move into a custom programme. Our private label tampons page explains the full custom route when you are ready.
Custom Color Boxes: The 5,000-Box Minimum
You do not have to sell the stock tampon in plain packing. If you want a retail-ready look, we can pack the stock tampons into custom printed color boxes carrying your brand, product name and required label information.
These retail cartons are printed by our color-box supplier, who requires a minimum of 5,000 boxes per order. This minimum applies to the printed boxes, not to the tampons: the tampons themselves remain available with no minimum order quantity. Many buyers therefore order stock tampons in standard packing first and switch to branded color boxes once they are confident in sales volume.
When planning box artwork, remember that tampon labeling is regulated. In the United States, FDA rules at 21 CFR 801.430 require absorbency terms and information about toxic shock syndrome (TSS) on tampon labeling, and other markets have their own rules. Check current FDA requirements, and for Canada, Australia or the GCC confirm with Health Canada, the TGA or the SFDA, before you print.
How to Order In-Stock Tampons
Ordering is designed to be simple. A typical first order follows these steps:
- Send us your destination country, the quantity you have in mind and the absorbency you need.
- We confirm what is in stock, the packing format and your price in a written quotation.
- If useful, we arrange samples so you can check the product before a larger purchase.
- You confirm the order and payment terms; shipping arrangements are confirmed in your quotation.
- Optional: send artwork if you want custom color boxes, keeping the 5,000-box minimum in mind.
We provide product documentation on request, so you can check it against the requirements of your market before you order.
Questions to Ask Before Ordering
A short checklist helps you avoid surprises with any stock product, from any supplier:
- Which absorbencies are in stock right now, and how are they marked on the wrapper?
- What documentation can the supplier provide for your destination market?
- How are the tampons packed for shipping, and does that suit your warehouse or dispensers?
- Will the product be labeled correctly for retail sale where you sell it?
- If you plan to grow, can the same factory move you into custom private label later?
Getting these answers in writing up front makes reorders smoother and keeps your product consistent from one shipment to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really no minimum order for the stock tampons?
Yes. The in-stock standard tampons have no minimum order quantity, so you can order a trial quantity or a small top-up. A minimum only applies if you want custom printed color boxes with your brand, because our color-box supplier requires at least 5,000 boxes per order.
What is the tampon made of?
The absorbent core is a blend of 70% cotton and 30% viscose. It comes with a long PE plastic applicator with finger grip rings, a cotton withdrawal string, and each tampon is individually sealed in a PE wrapper. Documentation for your market can be provided on request.
Which absorbencies are available from stock?
Stock levels change, so we do not publish a fixed list. Tell us the absorbency you need and we will confirm what is in stock in your quotation. If the absorbency you want is not available, we can discuss a custom production order instead.
Can I put my own brand on stock tampons?
Yes, through custom printed color boxes. We pack the standard tampons into retail cartons printed with your brand. Our color-box supplier requires a minimum of 5,000 boxes. For branded wrappers or a different specification, the custom private label route is the better fit.
Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes. We can arrange samples of the stock tampon so you can check the applicator, wrapper and overall quality before ordering. Share your address and the absorbency you are interested in, and sample arrangements will be confirmed with you directly.
