Common questions

Is Playtex Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons healthy?

Playtex Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons scores 38/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. 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 Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons?

Playtex Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons lists 8 ingredients, starting with Rayon, Cotton, Polyester, Polysorbate 20 and Paraffin Wax. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Playtex Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Playtex Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons’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 Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons?

Playtex Sport Plastic Unscented Tampons 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.
