Reusable Applicators for Tampons Market Analysis:

The global market for reusable applicators for tampons is experiencing steady growth, primarily fueled by the increasing consumer demand for cost-efficient and sustainable menstrual products. With the rising awareness of adverse environmental impacts of single-use plastic applicators, consumers are constantly seeking reusable and eco-friendly alternatives.

According to Only, one of the brands of reusable tampons, single-use tampon applicators are mostly made of plastic and are a significant contributor to landfill waste. They can take hundreds of years to decompose and when they break down, they release microplastics into the environment that can harm wildlife and contribute to the global plastic pollution crisis. According to TOTM, plastic tampon applicators can take up to 500 years to break down. Bio-plastic tampon applicators can take the same time to break down as regular plastic applicators. In the UK alone, over 200,000 tons of menstrual product waste are generated each year, most of which is plastic. On top of this, approximately 1.5-2 billion menstrual items are flushed (in error) down the toilet every year. 

Innovations in product material and design is a crucial driver of market growth. Manufacturers are actively investing in the research of hypoallergenic, durable, and safe materials that could be used in the production of a sustainable applicator. For instance, researchers of Italy suggested the use of biopolymers like polylactic acid polymer (PLA) in blend with other biopolymers like PLA/PBS, PBS/PBAT, and PLA/PBAT to manufacture a sustainable and reusable tampon applicator.

Moreover, the significant rise of e-commerce channels has made it easier for consumers to access products online, greatly boosting market growth. Furthermore, the variety in product types, such as compact and non-compact, caters to diverse user preferences, thereby favoring the market growth. Additionally, educational campaigns and government initiatives spreads awareness regarding the environmental impact of single-use tampons applicators and encourages more women to shift towards reusable ones, thereby aiding in market growth. 

Reusable Applicators for Tampons Market Trends:

Cost Effectiveness

Reusable applicators are perceived as one-time investment and align with long-term saving schemes. The initial purchase cost is significantly higher than that of a single-use plastic applicator, but it is cost-effective over time as it can be reused for an extended period. This allows consumers to save money by reusing the same applicator instead of purchasing a new disposable one each month. According to an article by Medical News Today, 16.9 million people who menstruate are living in poverty in the United States.  Almost two-thirds of women in U.S. with a low income could not afford menstrual products while nearly half sometimes had to choose between buying food or menstrual products. Various brands provide applicators with extra longevity and durability to cater to budget-conscious consumers. For instance, Only offers menstrual products bundles at a better price. Their reusable applicator comes in biodegradable wrappers and packaging. It is available in two sizes along with a reusable magnetic box to store tampon refills. Only manufactures their applicators by using medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and masterbatch. It is portable with zero single-use plastics.

Similarly, Sirona offers easy to use, hygienic reusable tampon applicator. This applicator is BPA, latex, and phthalates. Sirona markets its applicator as sustainable and economical product.

Increasing Trend of Sustainability

The rising environmental concerns due to negative impact of single-use plastic menstrual products has boosted the requirement for sustainable and reusable products. Therefore, environmental sustainability is a key driver for reusable applicators for tampon market. According to a news article, tampon applicators don't easily degrade and when they do, they break down into smaller pieces called microplastics that can easily pass through water filtration systems and into oceans, posing a potential threat to humans and wildlife.  Reusable applicators can significantly reduce the landfill waste, making it an excellent alternative to traditional single-use applicators.

For instance, DAME is one of the most popular brands that provides reusable tampon applicator set. The set includes reusable tampon applicator, bathroom storage tin, cotton zip pouch, and organic cotton tampons. The applicator is manufactured with an innovative self-sanitizing technology that keeps it clean and hygienic. It is composed of medical grade Sani polymers which is resistant to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. DAME is vegan and carbon in setting certified brand.

Latest Industry News:
