When it comes to tampons I'm generally not too fussed and buy what's on special. I do tend to lean towards U brand though because of their bright and funky colour scheme.
Oh goodness what to say about a tampon? Well it does what it's supposed to and that's about all you can ask from them.
I do find "the last line of defence" to be a bit of a gimmick though. Of all the brands I think U is the most prone to leaking.
I find tampons without applicators are usually a bit fiddly and messy to used but I really loved these ones! Lasted longer than my usual ones do - will definitely be repurchasing.
