They still need some work....

Unfortunately this is where they fall short. The applicator tampons are the bulky fish fillet style, while they work well and are not irritating like the chemical ones, they still aren't a very good design. As for the applicator-free tampons...they fluff off the cotton like crazy and thus are bordering on unsafe, as you could get an infection from a piece off cotton being left up there. If they could figure out an eco-friendly sleeve for them, they would be perfect and I would give them 5 stars all around, but unfortunately they still have some work to do to get there.
