When most think of packaging waste, personal care products may not be the first to come to mind, but are becoming increasingly more damaging to the planet -- DAME, a feminine hygiene startup aims to reduce this impact with its reusable tampon applicator line.
With a slogan that reads "Rethink, Redesign, Replace," DAME aims to cut down on the plastic waste created from competing brands with an antibacterial and medical-grade product that is safe and hygienic to reuse.
In addition to its sustainable, functional and hygienic design, DAME's reusable tampon applicator is also elegantly branded to appeal to Millennial consumers. The applicator even comes in three colors along with carrying cases that aid with discretion, making the clever product ideal for those using it while on the go.
