Tampax Tampons

As I do not enjoy using non-applicator tampons I always find myself reaching for these. I have never had any problems and I have always felt comfortable and safe using them. Only complaint is they are not discrete. I know some applicator brands where you pull out the tube which pushes the tampon up instead of it already being out ready to insert. Does the job other than that no complaints!

These used to be my tampons of choice before other brands started making applicator tampons (e.g. Libra, U). I liked them at first and found them easy to use and reasonably anti-leak. Now, however, I feel as though they leak quite a bit and don't seem to be very soft once expanded so removal can be a bit painful. I'm not sure any tampon could be 'anti'-leak', but feel other brands offer more confidence when it comes to leaks. I also don't really like the cartridge very much and find the cardboard can be a bit slippery to hold on to when compared to the plastic applicators of other brands, making it difficult to get the tampon in the right place. I also had a bad experience once where the whole box of tampax tampons I bought were 'cut' lengthways down the middle so once they were inserted and you attempted to pull them out the string came away leaving the tampon inside - I'm sure this was a once-off and I did notify Tampax, but it really shook my confidence with this brand. When I'm buying something that goes inside my body, I like to be certain I can get it out again! In all honesty, I much prefer other brands of applicator tampons.

The tampons was great but I hated the cardboard! I had trouble but once in it was good. I much prefer other brands of applicator tampons.

These tampons are effective and easy to use. The applicators mean that they are very easy to insert and they cause the least discomfort. They have great absorbency to ensure there is no leakage!

I love the ease of these tampons! The applicators keep everything sanitary, comfortable and easy. Never have any leakage with these either.

Not the easiest things to carry around in your bag as they are a bit bigger but i'm fairly sure they have come out with compact ones now!

I've always used applicator tampons as I find them a lot easier and cleaner to insert and these are a good benchmark for what tampons should aim to be. As long as you are using the correct absorbency for the stage of your period, you shouldn't have a problem with leaks as they fit well.

The cardboard applicators work well and allow you to easily position the tampon where it needs to go and the string is thick and strong so they are easy to pull out unlike some other brands.

They are a bit bulkier to store in a bag than the non applicator ones or other brands versions of applicator ones, but I don't find this to be too much of a problem.

They are also a decent price and I will continue to repurchase them.

In my view these are rather average in comparison to other tampons, such as carefree.

I used these as a teenager - they did the job well then but after trying others these don't seem as comfortable and absorbent. The packaging is very dated, and much prefer other brands! Would not repurchase.

...as I have hit menopause. However these were my most trusted brand of tampon. I like them because the applicator makes them easy to use and Tampax is a well known and trusted brand.

These are affordable and they do protect you when you need it.

I would recommend these to anyone who wants good protection for a good price.

I find these tampons so easy to use and far more hygienic for me because of the applicator. I use nothing else. Wouldn't ever go back to regular tampons
