Tampon holders

I remember we used to get these free as a teen, but where can you get them as an adult? I need one for applicator tampons but have no idea where I can get one that's cheap and possibly free!!

I did find a website doing very funky ones, but they cost nearly a tenner!!

If only I'd kept those fuchsia plastic ones they used to give out...

  • I remember the Tampax lady! Why not try writing to Tampax or contacting them via their website. If they still go round schools giving out those bright pink holders (although I did get a nice yellow one once) they will probably send you one.
  • they sometimes give them away with special packs

    If you register on www.beinggirl.co.uk they send you some samples sometimes. They used to send a tampon holder out too - not sure if they still do but it'd be worth a try. They dont need to know you aren't 14:D
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    Got a great metal one free on non-applicator lilets - holds about six tampons and looks like a business card holder - keep it in desk at work

    I'm at school, and they have never given out holders, nor have we had a visit from the tampax lady. I sent off for the tampax samples, and got three tampax compak fresh normal sized applicator tampons but no holder.
