I brought these as I loved the idea of the applicator as no one wants to get their hands messy while inserting these things. I have to say that the applicators are great but that is really as far as I go.
I found that they were easy to use but they didn't really expand much inside you when you used them and I had some issues with leakage. I also found that these were quite fluffy and little bits came off.
Also these are not very discreet at all. You can't really slip one into your hand from your hand bag and pop off to the bathroom at work time.
I have always used these tampons, but have always been wary of the pinching that happens sometimes if you're not being careful. These are the best applicator tampons other than the Tampax Pearl ones!
Tips: Watch for pinching!
