Reusable tampon applicators

Reusable tampon applicators could 12,000 applicators people use in their lifetime. It's the same as a tampon applicator. You just don't throw it away. You load the tampon into the applicators and once you're done you wipe it or you can rinse it. It's self cleaning and comes with a travel pouch. There are no concaves or cracks in the device so dirt can't get trapped in it. You can sterilize it by microwave, boiling water, or dishwasher. Plastic applicators take 100 years to degrade so this is a more eco friendly choice. What are your thoughts?
