Plastic applicator tampons are widely used across US and UK retail and e-commerce channels. We produce two generations so brands can balance experience against landed cost: the 3rd-generation smooth-glide line with a tapered anti-slip tip designed for comfortable insertion, and the 1st-generation value line built for price-led distributors who prioritize cost efficiency. Both use medical-grade LDPE barrels and pair with rayon or W-shaped full-channel cores.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 1st-gen and 3rd-gen plastic applicators?
Generation refers to the applicator tooling and finish. 3rd-gen has a smoother tapered tip and softer plastic for a premium feel; 1st-gen delivers the same reliability at a lower cost point — contact us for a cost comparison specific to your target volume.
Can the applicator color match my brand?
Yes — LDPE can be masterbatch-colored to your Pantone reference. Contact us for current MOQ requirements for custom colors.
