Here's your weekly recap—the most viewed news stories on our site for the week ended April 23, 2022.
Playtex is offering a new tampon for women seeking to make an eco-friendlier choice without sacrificing comfort and performance. Playtex Clean Comfort is the only tampon that features a plastic tip with an eco-friendly cardboard plunger. When it comes to tampon use, 91% of women say that insertion comfort is a top priority and important factor when choosing menstrual products. Yet, many women are also interested in menstrual products that have a lighter eco-footprint.
Now, for those who prefer applicator tampons for their reliability, comfort and convenience, Playtex Clean Comfort offers a solution without compromise. It uses 40% less plastic, is made of 100% organic cotton and is free from chlorine, fragrances and dyes along with Playtex's 360-degree leak protection technology. Using this hybrid product will eliminate 140 plastic plungers, per person on average for the 34.1 million U.S. women who use tampons annually, according to Playtex.
In other news, U.K.-based retailer Boots has become the latest major retailer pledging to stop selling all wet wipes that contain plastic fibers, as part of efforts to cut non-biodegradable waste. The retailer said it was committing to stop selling all wet wipes containing plastic by the end of the year and would replace them with plant-based alternatives.
