Tampax Pearl Tampons

Im from America and finding plastic applicator tampons isnt easy. I have trouble with ones without applicator, and cardboard ones irritate me. So if you have the same issues as me, try these!!!

These are defiantly the easiest tampons to use yet i do not buy them. They are a waste as each applicator is made from plastic and they're single use. These were great when i was younger and had to use tampons often as i swum lots and couldn't do the regular ones at first. If i needed an applicator i would just buy the cardboard ones, they don't look as nice as these do but still do the job.

I was caught out unexpectedly when Aunt flow came early and had to send my boyfriend to the nearest shop, much to his dismay he went but obviously didn't listen to what I asked for and came back with these lol.

I hadn't used this brand since my teenage years and an applicator just doesn't really appeal to me. However needs must so I soldiered on and used them. They come individually wrapped and in a huge box.

They are comfortable to wear and do what they are supposed to but I just hate the applicator. I find it unnecessary and fiddly to use and even more rubbish to dispose of. I ended up just pushing the tampon out so I didn't have to use the applicator.  They are also very big and not discreet at all, I prefer something I can pop in my pocket without the world seeing.

To me these seem outdated or aimed at teenagers. I won't make the same mistake of being caught out again. They are good but just not for me.

I know it sounds weird but these feel like they were made just for me! Due to back problems I find it hard to apply normal non applicator tampons. These are easy to use with minimal effort. The absorbency is awesome and find it lasts longer than others. They are by far my favourite brand to use. I have tried others but find they aren't right for me.

These are ones I used to use when I was younger, they are well known and do the job well. The packaging is blue and white and stands out for the brand.

Overall these are good tampons and have applicators to make it easy to use. They are reliable and also absorbent.

These days these aren’t my preferred brand as I normally go for Kotex, but if my preferred brand wasn’t available I would definitely go back to them.

Four stars from me. Reliable and well known.

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. I bought these Pearl tampons because the supermarket I was in did not have the ordinary cardboard Tampax Tampons that I usually use.

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

These Pearl tampons are more expensive per pack than the ordinary applicator tampons. The main difference is that while the tampons themselves are cotton, the applicator and tube are both made of plastic. The tampon box also promises that the tampon wrappers are easy to open with their “easy to open tabs.” They are very easy to open, easier than the ordinary Tampax (not that those are especially difficult to unwrap). The plastic applicator also feels smoother, and is easier to insert. However, plastic applicators are less beneficial for the environment.

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 also come with a braided tampon string, which is meant to further guard against leakage. They are easy to remove. Altogether, a more luxurious tampon that the ordinary cardboard Tampax because of the smoother application and ease of use. Worth the extra money if you are after maximum comfort.

I bought a pack of supers when on sale. Applicator tampons cost more. But since I discovered how convenient and mess free that tampon launcher makes it to use tampons I was hooked. These ones come individually wrapped and the wrapper is really easy to open. The wrappers seem a bit more sleek than some other brands. I don't notice much of a difference between this and the applicators for other brands. The applicator is smooth and easy to slide in and the base is easy to grip and launch your tampon in place. Often the problem I have with tampons is that they can leak after a couple hours which means I need to wear a panty liner with them but with these the little braid further up the base of the tampon they seem to absorb a bit more than a regular string so it probably would take longer for this one to leak. I haven't had any problems with leaking using these. You do pay a bit more for these but not having to worry about leaks makes it worth it plus I get a couple more tampons than other brands.

During my time of the month I like to try different sanitary products. Im normally a pad girl but when I need something compact and lightweight for travelling. My cycle starts isn't too heavy thankfully for my mirena device. Without it Im normally heavy. My cycle last up to 3 days.

These come in a Box. Quite large compared to others I've tried. These come in packets. This applicator is simple to use. The tampon itself I was expecting it to be smooth coated to bring that Pearl feeling. But that wasn't the case. Just like your normal every day tampon. The pearl is in the wrapping silly me lol.

I found it easy to apply. I didnt have any leakage surprisingly enough. Normally I need to wear a panty liner underneath just in case but not this time. I dont like to wear these longer than two to three hours before changing. I found it semi comfortable.

I probably wouldnt purchase these again I found they just didn't feel comfortable like my Kotex ones Im used to using. Perhaps a smaller packaging as well would be handy for travel.

In general I usually just use non-applicator tampons, as they're smaller and easier to carry around discreetly, but of all the applicator types I've tried these ones are by far the best.

They are long and bulky compared to non-applicator ones, there is no denying that. However, the ease of application does make up for that, in my opinion. They have a blue plastic applicator with a rounded tip, which is smooth and easy to use, unlike some cardboard applicators. The wrappers aren't 'noisy', which I appreciate, and are easy to open.

The actual tampons are comfortable to wear, and I haven't experienced any leaking with them, which is a major plus!

Overall, I would definitely recommend these over other applicator tampons. I especially think they'd be great for people just starting out with tampons, as they're so easy and comfortable to use. They are a little more expensive, but I find they're often on sale at the supermarket, so I just pick them up then.

I've been using these for years. Easy for beginners because of the smooth applicator the cardboard ones are harder to work with. They're pretty absorbent and so comfortable you'll forget you even have your period.
