I without a doubt think that these over dry you. They hurt when pushing in and pulling them out because they soak up any moisture allowing the tampon to remove itself. Found myself needing to many trys to get in the right place

I usually have a range of tampon brands on hand depending on what's on special at the supermarket. Libra is mostly the middle of the road for me. They can feel a bit scratchy/dry when inserting, but I find they absorb the same amount as other tampons.
Libra is not a brand I normally buy, but since they were ok special at the supermarket I thought I'd try these to see how they compare.
I like the little cute boxes that they come in, and good for just popping in your bag. I'm a fan of pink, so this is what attracted me to these in the first place.
The actual tampon is a good design and doesn't fray like some other brands do. In terms of absorbency, they don't seem to work as well as other brands.
These were good to try, but I think I prefer my usual stay free or Kotex.
They do the job, I just found them a little more difficult to get in and be comfortable than other brands, especially when sitting, they never felt right and sometimes hurt when removed
I have bought these in many iterations over the years, in all kinds of box designs. Libra were my favourite for a long time, especially their pads with the cool facts - why can't they do that on the tampons?
I find them easy to use and I like the click shut box, though I keep mine in a specially designed plastic case which only holds 3-4.
I like the bright wrapper on the tampon itself, though it can be hard to avoid touching the tampon (other than just the base) while inserting it, which I try to do to avoid contamination of the tampon, even though I always have clean hands.
They do their job and are reasonably priced and no doubt I will buy them again (though U by Kotex are my current brand of choice)
Let me begin by saying that I love the packaging of all libra products. They are fun and girly. This is no different. The box is easy to secure and pop in the bag. The tampon comes individually wrapped and to open you just have to twist the wrapper.
The tapered tip makes it easy to slide through and its very comfortable to wear. I mainly use the regular one as I find that it is just right for my flow. It stays with me for 4-6 hours at a time. I dont use it during the last days as there isn't much flow and that makes it difficult to pull the tampon out. I do use a panty liner with this just in case if theres any leakage.
No matter how good Libra is I have my favorite brand and would prefer to use that. Its just a personal prefence and nothing against the product.
Not the best or the worst. They do seem to be one of the few brands that do a super option so that's helpful for me. I also love that libra give out toiletry bags full of products to schools for puberty lessons (or at least they did a few years ago). I also appreciate the boxes which are great to mix and match and take away on trips.
I love the tin that comes with these tampons, makes things so much less messy in my handbag! Not my go to tampon but def up there. I find that even the regular can feel quite big, would love to see a smaller size come out
Libra Tampons super are quite big from your other brand supers but I guess thats why I had so leakage from this tampon. I do however use the barely there liner just for extra protection. This tampon is great for when your have your heaviest of your aunty flow. I do like the packaging as well as they come in little packs which you can have some in your bag, your car etc. Just so when your out about you have some some where which is a great idea. This are cheap and affordable and is a great purchase when your thinking of buying feminine hygiene items.
I tried Libra tampons at various stages over the years for a variety of reasons - after noticing friends using them, borrowing them when I've been caught short, purchasing them when my go-to brand wasn't available etc. and also because I thought I'd see if they were better than my usual go-to tampons. Over the years the packaging has changed a little but not much - quite bright but plain and bearing the Libra logo.
The tampons themselves are reasonably easy to unwrap and insert, pretty much in line with other tampons that don't have applicators, and are as aborbent size-wise, as any other.
Like wise they are similarly priced to other brands of the same product size and pack size.
I find them pretty good but like other brands, somehow lack something that has stopped me from breaching my loyalty to my go-to brand. I'm just not sure what that is, but my go-to brand is completely non-fluffy whereas the other brands aren't as tightly packed (if that explains it?).
From my knowledge Libra don't offer sample packs like Kotex do.
I would recommend the brand to women to try, as most brands are quite similar it's worth trying them all to find what suits you uniquely.
