∙ 9y agoNo, you don't have to use an applicator at all.
Applicators were originally introduced because the Catholic church was concerned about the idea of women touching their genitals when inserting tampons. Applicators remain popular in the US due to stigma surrounding women's genitals: the idea that the vagina and menstruation are 'gross' so shouldn't be touched - in other countries applicator tampons aren't nearly as common.
Most types of tampons don't have applicators, also both rayon and cotton tampons come in non-applicator versions. Non-applicator are easier to use as they're simpler, have rounder tips, and allow you to more easily feel for resistance to insert correctly. You can remove the tampon from applicator tampons and just use them that way, although they're not usually as rounded as non-applicator.

Applicators are just there to insert the tampon for you in order to prevent contact with your genitals, because when tampons were first introduced the Catholic church was concerned if you used fingers to insert tampons it'd be too close to masturbation. Remove the applicator and throw in the garbage.

∙ 7y agoYes, you remove the applicator once it's done its job to push the tampon in - remember applicators are just used to insert the tampon to avoid genital contact, that's all they do and you actually don't need them at all. Once the tampon is inserted you remove the tampon and throw it into the bin.

∙ 11y agoWell if it comes in an applicator you should probably use the applicator but no, you don't have to. Actually some tampons come without one and you just insert those with your fingers.
