What is a tampliner?
The tampliner is a brand new period product that combines an organic cotton tampon with a soft mini-liner for extra protection against leaks. It’s convenient, mess-free and hypoallergenic.
Mess-free, great for when you’re on the move
The virtual applicator keeps your finger clean when you’re putting it in
Once you’ve put it in, the mini-liner can fold lengthways, so it sits between your labia. That’s how it catches leaks!
When you take it out, the tampliner wraps itself – ready for the bin

- How is a tampliner different from a normal tampon?
Tampliners are a completely new femcare product. They have three parts: an organic cotton tampon, an organic cotton mini-liner, and a virtual applicator that connects the two. Wearing a tampliner feels quite different from using a normal tampon. The mini-liner is worn folded between your labia, giving you extra protection against leaks. The tampon and mini-liner are connected by a breathable virtual applicator. This is made from a medical-grade, ultra-thin film that you wear inside your vagina, keeping the mini-liner in place.
Inserting and removing tampliners is different from using a normal tampon. See the next two questions for more detail.
- It's worn “folded between my labia” – where is that exactly?
Your labia are your vaginal lips. The mini-liner should be worn folded and tucked up between your labia.
Everyone’s body is unique and labia come in many shapes and sizes, so the mini-liner will look slightly different on each person. It might be totally hidden between your labia or it might peep out slightly, but it shouldn’t be worn flat against your underwear. The virtual applicator (transparent bit) should be totally hidden inside your vagina.
- What is a virtual applicator?
The virtual applicator is very different from the ones you find on applicator tampons. The virtual applicator is made from an ultra-thin film – the same material that’s used in the medical industry, so it’s totally safe. It connects to the tampon at one end and the mini-liner at the other, and it stays inside your body the entire time you’re wearing a tampliner. It keeps your finger clean as you insert the tampon and also neatly wraps the used tampon as you remove it. Unlike an ordinary applicator, it’s mess-free!
- How do I know what absorbency to use?
Tampliners come in Regular, Super and Super Plus absorbencies. You should use the same tampliner absorbency that you would for tampons. The mini-liner is the same size on all absorbencies. The virtual applicator increases in size with each absorbency so that it can comfortably hold the tampon on removal.
