Tampax Tampons

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

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.

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

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

...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.

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.

I've always used applicator tampons as I find them a lot easier and cleaner to insert and these are a good benchmark for what tampons should aim to be. As long as you are using the correct absorbency for the stage of your period, you shouldn't have a problem with leaks as they fit well.

The cardboard applicators work well and allow you to easily position the tampon where it needs to go and the string is thick and strong so they are easy to pull out unlike some other brands.

They are a bit bulkier to store in a bag than the non applicator ones or other brands versions of applicator ones, but I don't find this to be too much of a problem.

They are also a decent price and I will continue to repurchase them.

I love the ease of these tampons! The applicators keep everything sanitary, comfortable and easy. Never have any leakage with these either.

Not the easiest things to carry around in your bag as they are a bit bigger but i'm fairly sure they have come out with compact ones now!

These tampons are effective and easy to use. The applicators mean that they are very easy to insert and they cause the least discomfort. They have great absorbency to ensure there is no leakage!

The tampons was great but I hated the cardboard! I had trouble but once in it was good. I much prefer other brands of applicator tampons.
