Tampax Tampons

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

love the applicator as your hands/finger doesn't get blood/period all over it when trying to insert a tampon..and no bits/parts of the tampon left behind with pulling it out to replace/dispose

The down points would be that the packaging is rather dated and boring. Also the price is more expensive than regular tampons like carefree etc (from memory) Also they are not discrete like regular tampons as the applicator make them at least twice as long as regular tampons.

On the plus side, they do what they say and I find them really absorbent. They are far more hygienic than regular tampons as the applicator does the job for you. Once you figure out what absorbancy you need, they really do give great protection and I've never had any issues using these. I use these 90% of the time and will continue to buy these in the future. Very happy with the quality, would be awesome to see some funky designs like other brands tho.

I like the concept of the applicator, however in reality it just doesn't work for me. I'm not sure if I'm not using them properly, if I'm made differently (?!?!), or if these just don't work.

I never feel comfortable with the placement the applicator gives, and I always find the tampon moves down quickly and becomes uncomfortable.

My biggest bugbear is what to do with the applicator afterwards? It's really difficult to conceal or dispose of discretely....?!

I think these would be a great starter tampon for young ladies, but not I think I will stick to Carefree

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!

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 used these on and off since I first started getting periods. I like that they have the applicator so its more hygienic and I get a good absorbency from them. They are a little long so sometimes they aren't as discrete as I would like. They are quite good for when starting out because they can be guided for the novice, although they can take a few times to become proficient.

So...3 children later and things aren't the same down there. My flow is so heavy sometimes- quite bluntly it's like a massacre if I use normal super tampons. Leaky galore. These are great as they are not compacted down into a tiny weeny little plug but rather are longer and less condensed so they 'fill the space' better. The applicator makes it so easy to position correctly ( never had pinching thank goodness). These are the only ones I can happily count on to not spring a leak.
