Same as Vagifem, 10 mcg estradiol, with an eco-friendly applicator.

Oh how great! I always feel guilty using Vagifem because of the applicators, I need so much of it too.

Will be wonderful in an echo-friendly applicator. Is it recyclable plastic or a cardboard tube?

I Googled this earlier today. The applicator is plastic but is not single use. There is one per box of 24, so better in that respect. I wonder if we will ever get this product- things move so slowly, especially in the NHS.

Yes it's one applicator per box of 24, with instructions on how to clean it. I think it's a wonderful idea. I have nightmares about animals choking on plastic waste!

I just hope the applicator works after repeated use as i have a few faulty Vagifem applicators that haven't clicked and then they aren't placed correctly and don't work properly.

Yes, Tinkerbell, I hope this one has a better design to allow multiple uses. Anyway, it's nice to have options!
