RELATED FAQ

Q: How long can I wear a tampon?

A: When using tampons, it's important to choose the lowest absorbency necessary for your menstrual flow. And because the amount of flow varies from day to day, it's likely that you will need to use different absorbencies on different days of your period. Selecting the right absorbency comes with experience, but as a guide, if a tampon absorbs as much as it can and has to be changed before 4 hours, then you may want to try a higher absorbency. On the other hand, if you remove a tampon and after 4-8 hours white fiber is still showing, you should choose a lower absorbency.


Q: How does Tampax help stop leaks?

A:Tampax Cardboard Tampons are designed to expand widthwise to fit your individual form and have a LeakGuard skirt to help stop leaks before they happen.


Q: If I like Tampax, what other products would be right for me?

A:For the ultimate in comfortable, dependable protection during your period, next time try Tampax Pearl, Tampax Pocket Pearl, and Tampax Pearl Active tampons.

10/10

This product WORKS for a very heavy flow. I use these when sleeping and It is the ONLY tampon I can wear overnight without waking up to a mess on the pad I also have to wear. The cardboard works MUCH MUCH better. They are HARD to find in store now- as most stores do not carry the cardboard anymore. But when trying the plastic applicators I woke up to a mess- AND soaked through both tampon and pad. This product is THE BEST for a heavy flow like mine. Would have to go back to wearing depends if they were to discontinue it.

Only kind I'll use

I've been a loyal customer for 17 years and absolutely love the cardboard applicators. They're comfortable and don't slip out of your hands while using them. The tampons in The cardboard applicators are more comfortable and i feel give better protection than the slippery and awkward feeling ones in the plastic applicators. It's getting harder and harder to find the cardboard ones and it's very disappointing that your company is following the trend of prettier packaging and flashy applicators. Your customers have been loyal to you, stay loyal to them. Give us the options we want and remember... If it's not broken, don't fix it!
