Tampons are made from cotton, not plastic. Maybe you're talking about the applicators (which are also sometimes made of cardboard instead of plastic)? Or maybe you're talking about menstrual pads, which - like diapers - have a plastic lining to protect against leaks.

- muzani 9y agoI did mean plastic for tampons. I simply quoted it from a quick google search for plastic replacements.
