Tampax Pearl Tampons

I just discovered these last year and used them myself. I have since had a hysterectomy - so have no need for them. But one thing I found these were very easy to insert. They slide in more easily than the cardboard ones.

I am not sure how biodegradable these are but would hope that Tampax did research on the environmental factors of their products.

These are my go to tampons when that time of the month rolls around. I stumbled across them as they seemed to be the cheapest at the time and my mum said I should try use tampons with an applicator as they are the easiest to use.

My mum had ever been so right in her life! Because they are plastic they are very easy to insert as they glide in with ease. They also do not hurt when placed in like others can. The applicator is very easy to use. With other brands the applicator sometimes gets stuck and won't push the tampon in but I do not have that problem with these. They are quite big so not all that discreet but I usually get around that by putting it up my sleeve when walking into the bathroom.

If I were you I would stock up on these as they are the best and I would defiantly recommend them to every single girl.

Tamped pearls offers good leak protection but it's applicator can be a bit clumsy, whilst it is a comfortable fit, you cannot discreetly take them places, and I opted for a more smaller tampon that I could put in my back pocket or wallet, the product itself is trustworthy there are no fears that the string will tear out, or that there will be any fraying of the cotton core, overall a great product

I have been a user of Tampax’s applicator tampons for a long time. I have a light flow, so this review is for the Regular tampons.

I prefer tampons with applicators because I find them easier to use, but they are not always the easiest to find. I have stuck with Tampax because they are affordable, and nearly everywhere stocks them. I bought these Pearl tampons because the supermarket I was in did not have the ordinary cardboard Tampax Tampons that I usually use.

Tampax’s Regular Pearl packs come in cardboard boxes of 20. The Regular comes in a blue and yellow branded box, with the tampons wrapped in individual yellow and white plastic wrappers, so you know what strength they are when they are out of the box. Each pack comes with instructions for beginners on how to use and insert tampons, as well as warning advice regarding Toxic Shock Syndrome.

These Pearl tampons are more expensive per pack than the ordinary applicator tampons. The main difference is that while the tampons themselves are cotton, the applicator and tube are both made of plastic. The tampon box also promises that the tampon wrappers are easy to open with their “easy to open tabs.” They are very easy to open, easier than the ordinary Tampax (not that those are especially difficult to unwrap). The plastic applicator also feels smoother, and is easier to insert. However, plastic applicators are less beneficial for the environment.

The tampons are comfortable once inserted. The absorbency of these tampons is good. I have never had any problems with leakage while wearing these. They also come with a braided tampon string, which is meant to further guard against leakage. They are easy to remove. Altogether, a more luxurious tampon that the ordinary cardboard Tampax because of the smoother application and ease of use. Worth the extra money if you are after maximum comfort.

These are by far my favourite tampon! so easy to use would be great for first timers. so much better then the horrible cardboard didn't realise how bad they were until these!

I have nearly always used applicator tampons. Due to having quite heavy periods, I have change quite often and things can get a bit tender down below. I know they're a little more expensive, but I think they're worth every cent!

I brought these and fell in love. They are so easy to use and not as big as other applicators. They are abit more pricey than regular tampons but I think they are worth it. Never had a problem with these !

These are the first applicator ones I've used, I always thought they looked weird haha, but these are great!! Very convenient, comfy to use, good packaging.

I like applicator tampons - they fit better. These ones are so easy to grip and use - the plastic is way nicer than the cardboard. Feel a bit stink about the plastic applicator, but it gives me way less hassle.

These are a womans best friend... honestly! A fantastic (pinch free!!!) applicator, and a non slip grip! They are so much easier to use than the last applicator tampons.

The packaging is great and easy to open (although not as easy as the paper packaging), and the applicator is easy to use. Great product!
