Tampax Tampons

I have used a lot of tampons in my life as I'm sure most people have, and these ones are by far my favourite. The applicators are easy to use and I appreciate that they aren't made of plastic, and save me a lot of discomfort. They hold a surprising amount of blood and I would totally recommend them as an easy beginners tampon.

These are good when starting out as they make insertion so much easier and they are cleaner to use. They support a light to moderate flow but would definitely need a pad if you're flow is heavy.

I’m sorry to be graphic but the quality of this product is shocking. Once used the removal experience is tedious. I would rather use a pad than ever use Tampax again. Not a product for someone with quite a heavy period.

These were my favourite applicator tampons for years and years!! However, as I got older, the cardboard started to too easily bend a bit and catch me on the way up if I wasn't super careful. Ouchie! So I have had to change to the plastic type. Another brand. But I just saw, when I searched Tampax on here, that they do a plastic version too, called 'pearly'? So I may well give them a go. I can only use tampons on heaviest days now I am older, too hard to insert or pull out otherwise. I will always prefer to use applicator tampons, even though I wish the waste could be less, as it is much more hygienic, especially if you're on the go!!! I will never use a non applicator tampon for this reason.

I always end up buying these overseas as other countries seem to only want Tampons with applicators. And while there is something nice about getting your hands less 'dirty', I always feel sad about how much extra plastic is going in the bin. Also the fact that they are 2+ times the size of a regular tampon means they are much less discreet- you don't want one of these in your jean pocket.

These are really good tanpax with the applicator. Good for general periods. They are more expensive then no applicator tanpons. I think these are great for first time users to get into the swing of things. It’s feels so much cleaner using the applicator too. Would use again old school and reliable

I started using these within the first year of getting my period, I decided to try these ones as i had used plastic applicators but didn't like the fact that plastic was getting wasted as they're single use so i decided to try cardboard. The cardboard applicators were as easy as plastic to use and i never had any issues , i personally don't like the tampon in these which is my only issue. I cant explain why i don't like it i just feel like they're different to usual.

Ive only ever used the regular tampax tampons and i like them and think they're great for a beginner and the absorbency is pretty good but i no longer buy these as i prefer no applicator.

I used the ones in the green packet and I won’t be using these again. Firstly I didn’t like the whole applicator side of it, and the size of the tampon itself was weirdly longer than a normal one and it even started to fall apart. They are a lot different compared to every other tampon I have used. Overall I didn’t like using these and ended up throwing away each cardboard applicator.
