I have used tampax applicators for years, but recently they changed to the pearl brand and changed the applicator design which I found a little bit more trickier to use than the old ones. Its only slightly more awkward, but I still noticed the difference.
I normally use ordinary Tampax, so thought I'd give these a try, but I don't like that the applicator is plastic, rather than flushable, so you have to wrap it and put it in the bin. I also find that that strong on these is much longer that ordinary Tampax, which I don't like. I didn't notice any difference in absorbency either. I prefer the original version of Tampax tampons.
I like that they change shapes to fit you perfectly, but they tend to 'collapse' as you're inserting them! The applicator is really to use though, I never use them but I didn't want them to go to waste.
I brought these and fell in love. They are so easy to use and not as big as other applicators. They are abit more pricey than regular tampons but I think they are worth it. Never had a problem with these !
I have nearly always used applicator tampons. Due to having quite heavy periods, I have change quite often and things can get a bit tender down below. I know they're a little more expensive, but I think they're worth every cent!
These are by far my favourite tampon! so easy to use would be great for first timers. so much better then the horrible cardboard didn't realise how bad they were until these!
I just discovered these last year and used them myself. I have since had a hysterectomy - so have no need for them. But one thing I found these were very easy to insert. They slide in more easily than the cardboard ones.
I am not sure how biodegradable these are but would hope that Tampax did research on the environmental factors of their products.
Tips: Great for teens learning how to use and insert tampons for the first time, as there is less force needed for insertion.
All that plastic being thrown away these are no better than the cardboard applicator variants and they aren't that amazing either.
I like applicator tampons - they fit better. These ones are so easy to grip and use - the plastic is way nicer than the cardboard. Feel a bit stink about the plastic applicator, but it gives me way less hassle.
