Common questions

Is Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon healthy?

Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon scores 51/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Playtex Sport Unscented Tampons. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon?

Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon lists 7 ingredients, starting with Rayon, Cotton, Paraffin Wax, Butyl Stearate and Acrylic Polymer. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon?

Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon compare to other feminine care?

At 51/100 Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon lands mid-scale — below the typical score in feminine care, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in feminine care is Tampon Tribe Organic Regular Day Pads at 100/100.

Is Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon organic?

Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon is not certified organic in our data.

Has Playtex 18ct Regular Unscented Tampon been lab tested?

Not this product itself. It shares a base recipe (Rayon/cotton tampon with paraffin/acrylic/carnauba coating; no scent additives) with the other products in its family, Playtex Sport Unscented Tampons, and 1 product in its family has been lab tested. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Those results are in the family's Contaminants section above; its own results may differ.
