If you’re considering switching from disposable plastic applicators to a more sustainable option, look no further than Lil-Lets.
We understand your desire to be more eco-friendly and contribute to the planet. If, like us, you're keen on the idea of a reusable applicator but need assistance with loading and positioning, you've come to the right place!
The Lil-Lets reusable applicator is a great alternative to single use applicators and our reusable applicator can be used again and again, it’s made from medical grade materials, free from latex, BPA, and phthalates. It can be used in conjunction with our Mini, Regular, Super and Super Plus absorbencies and because we know life is busy it even comes with its own certified cotton organic bag for convenience and storage.
So, let’s get started – familiarise yourself with all of the reusable applicator features, we recommend you sterilise your reusable applicator before using, just the applicator there is no need to sterilise or boil the lid.
TOP TIP – Don’t let the water boil dry as this could cause the applicator to become mishappen.
TOP TIP – Keep the string secure with your thumb, pressing it firmly against the lid until ready to insert.
If you’re new to tampons, here our tips for removal. Tampons can be worn for between 4-8 hours and when you’re ready to remove your tampon, relax and gently pull on the string and the tampon will glide out very easily. Wrap the tampon in toilet tissue and dispose of with normal household waste. If the tampon feels tightly held, don’t worry, it simply means it’s not yet absorbed enough menstrual fluid and you can leave it in a little longer (never longer than 8 hours though). If the tampon still feels tightly held after this time, remove it and consider using a lower absorbency for the lighter days of your period.
At the end of your period, you’ll need to resterilise your applicator, just like you did in the beginning, dry it thoroughly and then pop in your cotton storage bag, in a cool and damp free place until your next period. You see not so difficult after all!
Any non-applicator tampons from the Lil-Lets range will be suitable for use with our reusable applicator. Remember that the applicator will accommodate our Lite, Regular, Super and Super Plus absorbencies!
Because the lid of your applicator does not come into contact with your vaginal opening there is no need to sterilise. It is also made from a softer material to the main body of the applicator and as such sterilisation of the lid could lead to it becoming misshapen.
Like anything new, using a reusable applicator can take practice and we’re convinced that after a few attempts you’ll be an expert at getting your tampon into the most comfortable position. If this is still an issue, we suggest pushing the applicator in a little farther so the only part sitting outside the vagina is the plunger section. And remember aiming the applicator in a slanting position towards the lower back is the best technique for insertion.
