ZOOM Pharmacy is pleased to introduce TAZi, the world’s first ever bendable tampon applicator – a reusable tampon applicator designed to make tampon insertion more comfortable, flexible and body-friendly.
Made from soft medical-grade silicone, the new range of TAZi applicators are designed to bend with the natural curves of the body, creating a smoother and gentler tampon insertion experience.
TAZi is of the world’s first bendable, reusable soft tampon applicator designed to be used with your favourite tampon brand.
Unlike traditional rigid applicators, TAZi is soft and flexible. All the applicators are made with FingerFlex Technology™, which allows the applicator to bend and flex with your body during use.
The idea is simple, bodies are unique and not rigid, so your applicator should bend and flex to match, making tampon insertion more comfy.
TAZi also has Flushable Wipes designed to keep you and your TAZi clean when you are on the go.
Tampon users have had to choose between messy, unhygienic fingers or rigid, uncomfortable applicators. TAZi was developed as an easy alternative that minimises the discomfort and compromise often associate with tampon insertion.
It’s flexile silicone design helps the applicator move and bend with the natural shape of your body, supporting a more comfortable insertion.
TAZi puts it simply: vaginas are soft, they bend, and they curve, TAZi is designed to bend with your body.
TAZi is available in two sizes, to go with your flow.
Choose the TAZi size that matches the tampon absorbency you usually use.
Always wash your hands before using a TAZi Reusable Tampon Applicator.
Step 1: Hold TAZi correctly
Hold TAZi at the top, in the curve of your thumb and forefinger.
Step 2: Load your tampon
Open your tampon and place it into the TAZi applicator, making sure the string is hanging outside the applicator. Then load it by pushing up from the base to cover your finger.
Step 3: Get comfortable
Sit, squat, or stand with one leg raised. Choose the position that feels most comfortable for you.
Step 4: Insert the tampon
Position TAZi at the entrance of your vagina and gently push the tampon inside, allowing the applicator to glide with the natural curve of your body until the tampon is placed correctly inside you.
Step 5: Release the tampon
As you pull your finger out, gently pinch the base of TAZi with your thumb holding the string outside. The tampon should remain inside, with the string hanging out, and TAZi will stay on your finger.
Step 6: Remove and clean
Remove the applicator, wipe or rinse it clean, and wash your hands. Then seal the product with its lid.
Always follow the instructions provided with your TAZi product.
TAZi applicators are reusable, so cleaning them properly is important.
At home
After use, rinse your TAZi with cold water to prevent staining. For an extra clean, you can place it in boiling water for 5-7 minutes*, then allow it to dry completely before packing it away.
On the go
If you are out and do not have somewhere private to rinse your applicator, TAZi Flushable Wipes can be used to clean it before placing back in its pouch.
Before storing
Make sure your TAZi is completely dry before storing it somewhere clean and dry.
TAZi was designed by women for women to offer a softer, more comfortable option for people who use tampons.
For too long, tampon users have often had to choose between using their fingers or using rigid applicators that may not feel comfortable for every body. TAZi was created to offer a reusable applicator that is soft, flexible and designed to move with the body.
TAZi is founded on the belief that period care should be gentle, practical and customisable.
Many disposable period products contain plastic and can contribute to landfill and waterways after use. TAZi offers a reusable alternative to disposable tampon applicators, helping reduce the need for single-use applicators.
TAZi Reusable Tampon Applicators can be reused again and again.
TAZi Wipes are also designed for convenient on-the-go cleaning to clean you and your TAZi. TAZi wipes are flushable; breaking down quickly after disposal without blocking pipes or harming waterways.
TAZi is designed to be used with non-applicator tampons. Choose the TAZi size that matches the size of tampon you are using.
Choose what size works with your flow. Use Mini/Regular for mini or regular tampons, and Super for super tampons. If your flow varies, you might need both sizes.
TAZi Flushable Wipes are designed to help clean you and your applicator when you are on the go and do not have somewhere private to rinse it.
