Tampax Tampons

I have been using Tampax for the last 20 something years and still find it as easy to use than I did way back when. I use both the regular and super and find both quite reliable. Absorption is good. Love the cardboard tubing, more environmentally friendly than some other plastic ones I have seen and is sturdy enough to do its job properly.

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. Tampax’s Regular packs come in cardboard boxes of 20. The Regular comes in a blue and yellow branded box, with the tampons wrapped in individual yellow 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.

The tampons themselves are cotton, and the applicator and tube are both made of cardboard. In the past I have found these tampons slightly difficult to get started as the cardboard tubes have a tendency to stick together. I have found the best way to avoid this is to give the applicator tube a little twist, and then just a tiny push, so the tampon breaks slightly through the spokes on the top of the cardboard tube, before I begin insertion. After I do that, I have no problems with the applicator tube sticking, and I can easily push the applicator tube all the way inside the tampon tube.

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 are easy to remove. Altogether an easy and convenient option if you are after applicator tampons.

So I decided to switch it up and give tampax a try but right from the get go I knew they weren't wyute the fit for me the package was ok on the outside then wen u actually get the applicator out of was very thin white cardboard not nice to hold at all then after u have used the applicator well u could imagine the white thin cardboard not nice at all but overall the tampon did absorb well

The applicator took little to get use to compared to other brands but the tampon itself is great no leakage at all.

Best thing since slice bread. I have never used tampons until I got introduced to it by my roommate. I have tried every tampon and this is by far the most easiest application I have used when it comes to that time of the month.

I love the fact that it is clean and that I don't have to use my fingers. The anti-slip grip is so helpful and gives you perfect guidance on position.

These are my preferred brand and type of tampons.

Love the applicator for ease of use and I haven't seen any other brand that offers an applicator.

I've never had any embarrassing leaks using these tampons alone (I know some people add a light winged pad because other tampon brands have let them down in the past) even when swimming.

They are more expensive than the non-applicator varieties however by buying several packs at a time but only when I see them on special I can minimise that price difference and indulge my brand preference.

I have not re tried these for years as when i did the only good thing about them was the applicator because when the tampon came out it dudnt keep its shape like libra and carefree and other brands. The tampax rampon looked like several cotton balls or a handful of toilet paper scrunched up I am not joking. I decided to steer class ar because was worried about bits of the tampon hreakung off and being left behind in there like leading to an infection not saying this happened hut that was my concerns and so as much as the applicator is easy i have not re purchased these again.

I love the freedom I get from tampax. Not only is it readily available from most stores but it allows me to continue doing all the activities i normally would with all the freedom from worrying about leakage.

it's a wee bit embarrassing to say but these are the only tampons i use and know how to use. i have tried the regular types but can't seem to get the knack of is lol. my mum got me into them when i was a teen coz i was never able to swim in the summer, and i use them ever since. I don't want to gross everyone out so I'll just stop there and say they are bloody brilliant (no pun intended)
