20 Best Tampons For Beginners With Heavy Flow (2023 Updated)

I’ve been loyally using o. b. for something like 30 years! I have tried applicator tampons and found them absolutely impossible to insert properly and comfortably. Agree with other reviewers that the original is more absorbent than these new “pro comfort” ones though.

And the multi-packs REALLY need more super and ultra absorbency ones. Am I the only one who has three full boxes of leftover “regular” ones just hanging around for my half a light day every month? My favorite thing about this product though is the convenience—I’m not much of a purse girl, and I can fit THREE of these into that weird tiny front pocket of my jeans.

The best!.

When I find out. b. Ultra on shelves I purchase several boxes. It is the only product to give me 2-3 hours of manageable peace on heavy flow days allowing me to go to work and not bleed through my pants.

My doctor says my only other option os to cauterize my uterus lining. thst is NOT a choice. When o. b. Ultra is not available and my stockpile has run out I have a very big and messy problem. Please Shoppers Drug Mart, do what you can to secure ND effectively manage a consistent source of this product for the people who depend on it.

Other dusappointed o. b. Ultra shoppers: please wfite to Edgewell Personal Care, owners of the brand. www. ob-tampons. com/contact-us Thank you.

I’ve been using non applicator OB tampons since I was a teenager and they’re still my preferred tampon. It’s so shocking to me that A. More people don’t use them and B. I still get wild (and negative)reactions from women (no applicator!?).

Grown women saying “ew you’re sticking your finger up there” #1, ladies liberate yo self lol and #2 how far up there you think you need to go!? Anyway, best tampon on the market from less packaging, less space it takes up in your purse (fits in your pocket!) And absorbability.

10/10 can’t recommend enough (currently hard to find though #shortage).

I haven’t used Tampax in years, but after noticing a big change in the effectiveness of my go-to brand (as well as some ruined sheets), I gave these a try. I now regret not trying these sooner! The Tampax Pearl Tampon in Super Absorbency is perfect to keep me comfortable and leak free on my heaviest days.

The plastic applicator has an anti-slip grip that makes insertion a breeze and thanks to the formfit expansion, it expands to fit my unique shape, making it extremely comfortable to wear. The tampon also has a smooth outer layer for easy removal.

Something Tampax has that I haven’t seen on other tampons is a braided string. This Leakguard braid helps stop leaks, which is awesome, especially if you have a heavy flow like me. I haven’t had any leaking when wearing Tampax Pearl, even on my extremely heavy days.

I can wear these with confidence knowing I’m protected. I also wear them at night, and I’m happy to report that my sheets are stain free!.

I e hears alot onout organic tampons in the past and it seem like quite a controversial subject! So I was a bit skeptical when I got these. However, I’m getting older and decided that I have to do better in taking care of myself so I figured that all natural, sustainable products would be best to use on and especially IN my body.

I’ll have to say after hour 1 of my cycle starting, I was elated that I mage the choice to use them! The absorbency is much better than any other brand I’ve used, I used to go with the cheapest ones, but that route causes alot of issues and though these are a bit more expensive, it’s money well spent! I felt better all around! Fewer cramps, no leaks, and the cord on them is extremely sturdy.

I would recommend these to everywpman I meet! Rememver, you get what you pay for and feminine hygiene is one area you should probably not be as frugal with.

I finally had the chance to try these organic tampons, and I’m glad I did. They absorb as well as the other tampons offered by Tampax, but there is a noticeable improvement when I use these. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I notice that I don’t sense as much of that period smell when changing my tampons.

Right from the start that’s the one major difference I noticed right away. I think the tampons are absorbing better as well, and maybe because they are just pure cotton. They seem to absorb more just judging with my sight.

I like knowing that what I’m putting into my body is cleaner and pure, and I feel like I’m respecting my internal environment more this way. I will definitely buy this organic line again. I like it.

Seems like I’m in the minority here, but I actually think they work better than the old version! Yes the applicator is a bit more flimsy and less grippy, but it’s still better than a lot of others on the market in my opinion.

And the more rectangular shape of the cotton isn’t at all uncomfortable for me. But what really made me convinced I needed to write this review is how absorbent they are! I’ve always loved Rael for what they stand for and the ingredients they use, but I always wished they were a bit more absorbent.

But these ones do the trick! I had one in on my heaviest day for way longer than I should have (8 hrs) and it didn’t leak until the very end. Very happy with this purchase, especially after feeling worried once I read the reviews.

I was a happy customer with the regular and super combo pack I received monthly on subscribe & save but the redesign is awful. The cotton tampon expands length-wise which was fine before, but now when it expands, it actually expands out of my vagina which we all know that feeling is so uncomfortable.

The plastic applicator was great before the new design, which I assume is to save plastic because the area where there are several bumps for grip to compress the tampon inside while pulling the application out is so thin and flimsy now.

If you have any bit of hair, you are pulling the hair while trying so hard to pinch the applicator tightly to pull out. I have to use my nails (thankfully they have some length this cycle), otherwise I would not be able to pull these out.

I had a box left over from my previous order, and the plastic applicators are totally different.

I really wanted to like these as my old brand of tampon was no longer working for me. I really like that the applicator is clear so I could see that there was no fraying of the tampon (which had been happening with my old brand).

However, I did not love the grip on the applicator and found it hard to get the tampon out of the applicator. My major issue was the feel of the tampon itself. They seem to expand lengthwise rather than outward like most other brands.

After awhile it felt like it was poking me and starting to stick out of my body. I tried several times with the same results. I am very disappoinyed because these are expensive tampons.

After discovering TOP, I finally made the switch to organic period products and I’m so glad I did! I love the plant-based application! It’s easy to use and with its compact size, I toss them in all my bags.

I feel much better knowing the products I am using are not only better for me but also for the planet.

My good friend introduced me to TOP last year. I immediately ordered them for my daughters. I love the mission of the founders! My girls LOVE these new tampons because they look and feel just like the old plastic ones they used to use.

I feel great knowing I am giving them a better option with no chemicals and also with a plant based applicator. Keep up the incredible work TOP!.

These are amazing and comfortable. I love these tampons for alternatives if I can’t find my playtex tampons that are more natural than these tampax ones, however they work, their comfortable and the cardboard applicator is more economical friendly than the plastic tampons.

I love the colorful wrapping too. However it be nice if they added super plus with the multipacks too but that’s okay (I wish playtex would have the cardboard applicators available too but it is what it is.

). Great product but I wish the major feminine companies like PG, and Kimberly Clark would be more natural in their products. I know K. C’s u by kotex security pads are almost there though and PG with the tampax naturals and their alway spure cotton pads too.

I hope our reviews will be helpful for the future.

I have always used tampons, most often I choose the ones with an applicator because I believe that they are more hygienic and more comfortable to put on. And it just so happens that Tampax dominates among tampons with applicators on the English market, and they work great.

By the time. Recently I couldn’t find my favorite tampax compac product (the ones with yellow applicators), they were only pearl. More expensive than the standard, well I took it. From the beginning, their use was difficult, the applicator inconvenient, the tampon often lands in the wrong place.

And finally, it is more difficult to pull it out, it actually hurts. Wearing it was ok, I didn’t notice the difference here. Restore previous versions! Because despite the fact that I value tampons with an applicator, I will switch to the ones without, because they are more convenient than your new product.

I am so glad to see so many other women who dislike or even hate the plastic applicators. Bring back the cardboard loose the leakguard skirt and the perfume scents. Alot of Women who have been loyal to the tampax brand stay loyal because the other big brand when I first started using them all the way through now have always had the stupid plastic applicator.

If we wanted that we could have switched brands years ago. It’s gotten to the point where you have to spend hours searching for these with the cardboard applicators and then more time to find them at a decent price, since their so hard to find some sellers have raised the price to a ridiculous level.

The fact so many are searching them out should tell you something. Why is it a brand were loyal to can’t do the same and be loyal to it’s customers as well. I know for me at some point I’m going to get tired of the search and the time and extra money wasted and decide to try every other brand out there til I find.

Something that caters to women’s like me. Once I do that there will be no going back. Unless they finally figure it out and start making the type of product that made us loyal in the first place. And bring it back at a much more reasonable price.

Little by little already started. For any of my lesser flow days trying several different types looking for a good match to limit my being stuck the next time I can’t find the product I actually want.

Also saves the ones I have on hand for heavier days so I have more time to search in between. Personally I would rather stick with a brand and type I know and love but if their going to ignore the wants and needs of their customers then I’ll do what I need to do.

I liked the product up until it unraveled on (or in) me. The absorbency was great and I liked the organic part. Unfortunately I will not purchase again (or use the remaining of the box I did purchase) because I am afraid it will keep happening.

After that incident I tried to use another one but when I pulled the string it yet again unraveled. So I decided to send my husband to the store for literally any other brand. I’m disappointed because as I said the performance and product were great and I liked the price point.

This is my go to tampon brand. I prefer something a little more natural to be inserted inside me vs a chemically bleached tampon. I usually buy the 3 packs on Amazon and I like that it gives me a few periods before I need to start thinking about buying tampons again.

Its absorbent and easy to insert and remove. I bleed a lot so I need something that works. I love that they come in Super Plus!.

I only use the “Lite”/lightest absorbency on most of my period days, but for some reason this size is hard to find in natural tampons (and impossible to find in stores). I’d rather change the small size more frequently than wear a large size all day, it’s just what I’m comfortable with.

I also prefer a smooth plastic applicator to a dry cardboard applicator. I’m so glad Well. ca carries this product, I just stocked up on a few boxes and will be ordering again when I run out. This product is comparable to a big name competitor I was using before I decided to switch to natural.

I love these. Every since I’ve started using tampons I’ve always used tampax Pearl, either the standard or compak. I must admit, I was sceptical towards the compak ones due to their size, but they’re so much comfier, in my experience they can easily give you a good 8 hours of no leakage- you can’t really ask for more! I think as far as tampons go, they’re super comfy and last ages.

The applicators are nice too, pull out and click in place and it’s ready to go. The compak ones are nice as they’re small too, so they’re easy to pop in a pocket or hide in a bag for discretion. They’re so little no one would notice! I won’t use any other brand- I’ve travelled to another supermarket just to get my tampax Pearl before!.

My go to tampons, great absorbency never had a leak with these, last a few hours before they need changing. They don’t irritate my skin either and have no perfume or chemical scent to them which I love.

The packaging is nice though that doesn’t really matter. They aren’t bulky and fit snug with no issues. Not too expensive and a lot more compact to hide in your handbag. When in the packaging it’s only about 2 inches long so easy to slip up your sleeve if you need to nip to the toilet at work and don’t want to carry your bag with you.

The string is a good length too it won’t get lost easily or be hanging out too much either. Overall great product.

Read at your discretion: If you have heavy periods this “plug” is for you. Two months ago I thought I had to go to the hospital I was bleeding so much with huge blood clots and all. I was in pain and hadn’t had this problem for years.

I immediately bought these, they arrived super fast and didn’t have to change every hour like with the other brands. Yes, I had to change every hour the bleeding was that bad. It helped to get the clots out.

I highly recommend these but only for super heavy flows. This tampon is pretty big and it expands so if you don’t have a heavy period you’d have a hard time taking it out as it will come Out softly and painlessly only when it’s full.

I was able To Go to work with this issue and not have to worry about spotting or bleeding outside my pants. Have a happy period!.

I prefer the cardboard applicator tampons over the Tampax Pearl because the cotton is more densely packed compared to the same absorbency level on the plastic ones. I experience leakage much faster when using the plastic applicator tampons.

Without me mentioning it first, my sister actually mentioned having the same experience with the cardboard vs plastic tampons. If you have heavier periods I definitely recommend these over the Tampax Pearl.

I also like that I can just flush the applicator when I’m done since it’s biodegradable.

Tampax Cardboard Super Plus tampons have me covered every time! I was able to go on vacation, do everything I normally would and enjoy it, thanks to these tampons. The cardboard applicators are easy to use and not too bulky.

I felt completely covered and had no leaks whatsoever. The tampons move with my body and were slim enough that I couldn’t even tell that I was using them. I also like the packaging and how discrete they are, I have no problems carrying them in my purse.

I will definitely recommend these to any of my friends or family.

I bought these because they don’t have chemicals and are made from organic cotton. Now that I’m into a little over a month of use, I can definitely say these are not very good. They’re just okay. I wouldn’t recommend them to women who have a very heavy flow or even just a heavy flow.

My periods are very heavy the first two days and these really don’t hold well with that. They constantly leak. Even the ones that are the super absorbency leak all the time. I have to change them so frequently because they don’t absorb as well as others.

I really wanted to like them because over all, Seventh Generation is a good brand, but these are just not good.

I switched to organic tampons about a year ago and love seventh generation products, so I really wanted to like their tampons. Unfortunately, they felt like they would start to slip out throughout the day, or they would leak through and when I would take them out there would barely be anything absorbed.

I tried all different sizes and I had the same problems with all of them. I write this review in hopes that they find a solution to this problem and maybe I’ll try them again in the future.

I bought these last week because I was in a pinch. I was looking forward to using something different, but ended up having to go back to ANOTHER store to buy a different brand because I couldn’t get a good grip on the applicator once the “fun” began.

I tried 4 different ones, all with no luck. The cardboard is super slippery at the base and bends too much, causing the internal piece to get stuck. 0/0 wouldn’t recommend.

I few years ago I noticed my tampons were smelling a bit funny. I’d previously smelled of nothing. I was using on trampoline for years. They’d changed to that mesh wrap thing and it was not agreeing with me.

THANKFULLY they released these little gems and I’m back to normal. PHEW!!!! The only issue I have is that I cannot find them as readily as when they first came in the scene. Kinda weird. I always end up buying them online from eBay or whichever random site has sellers selling them in groupings.

Better price. I am always worried I’ll go to but them 1 day and no one will be selling them. This situation was true pre covid as well. Anywho. BEST TAMPONS EVER!!!!.

This is my first time trying organic tampons and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked them. I really like that the cotton in these tampons is 100% organic, free from chlorine, free from fragrances, and free from dyes.

The box also states that the applicator is plant based. The box I got contained 18 regular sized tampons, individually wrapped in sturdy yellow plastic. The size of the cotton itself seems smaller and more rigid than the brand that I usually buy/use.

However, the box claims that it still absorbs the same amount: 6-9 grams. The applicator is really smooth which makes it comfortable to apply and the bottom part of the applicator pushes forward easily.

However, my biggest dislike of this product is that the applicator doesn’t have much of a ridge at the bottom of the top portion of the applicator and is slightly flimsy, which made it slightly more difficult than normal for me to get a grip when I pressed the applicator stick the first time.

In addition, there is nothing really to stop the bottom part of the applicator from pushing past the top part of the applicator. After a few uses though, I am liking these tampons a lot. Once inserted, I would say that these tampons are pretty comfortable to wear and you can’t feel them once inserted.

I haven’t had any issues with leaking and the string seems pretty sturdy when removing. Overall, I would say if organic products are important to you, then this would be a solid purchase!.

This has become my preferred option of tampon! I prefer to go with organic options since I find them significantly less irritating. I typically go with O. b. brand already and my local shops always have the applicator-less ones for cheaper so I always went with those.

While out and about I saw this option that had the plant based applicator. That caught my attention. Finally got to put em to use and I’m rather pleased. The super does a super job so far compared to other ones I have tried and I have a heavy flow.

I also find the applicator to be smooth and comfortable with no pinching!.

After a fairly difficult search for reasonably-priced organic cotton tampons, I am overall happy with Lola. I started with the compact applicator tampons about three years ago, then switched to the non-applicator tampons after about a year because I wanted to reduce the amount of waste I was contributing to the planet.

The absorbency is pretty good, though I have experienced leakage (even with the Super Plus size) on occasion when my flow is heavy. My only other complaint is that when I remove one of these tampons if my flow is not heavy, it’s not uncommon for some of the cotton to tear off and get left behind.

It eventually works its way out, but eww. I feel like this problem could be mostly solved if Lola would offer the light absorbency in the non-applicator tampons. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with the product for the price.

I have ordered these tampons for a few years now. Probably since Lola started! I wanted it to be conveniently shipped to me because I was always forgetting to get tampons when I needed them at the grocery store.

I love that I can pause when needed (like when I was pregnant) and pick back up using the service. The tampons are amazing. No leakage and they are extremely comfortable. I used to use OB brand and I’m glad I made the switch to Lola! I love that they are made of organic cotton and love that I can customize my box depending on my period and my needs.

I used to get the tampons delivered monthly, but now I get the 6 month supply every 6 months!.

I’ve been using LOLA for over 4 years and I can’t say enough good things about them. I love that they’re applicator free for a significant reduction in plastic. I love that they’re organic. I love how comfortable they are to insert (I’ve used others and they can be pretty rough and uncomfortable).

I’ve never had an issue with string breaking or a faulty tampon (which is pretty darn important as this is not something you want to leave room for error in!!) and now I love that you can order up to a six month’s worth of supplies at once to reduce carbon footprint even further.

A really lovely brand and a great experience. I’m planning on using Lola till I don’t have a need for tampons anymore. Oh and I guess this may not matter to some but it’s a personal touch I love- the blue hues of the wrappers they look so good when they’re stored it just makes the whole unpleasant experience just a bit better.

Just a great brand and product!.

This is one of the only brand, type of tampon I can actually use and feel comfortable knowing that I am 100% positive it will not leak on me. I only like the plastic applicators because they glide right in with no problems! I have super bad periods which is genetic runs in my family as my great grandmother, my Mammy, my Mother have all had it bad when it comes to periods.

When I tell you filling up a super tampon in an hour or two is easy for me to do, I’m not lying! I’ve always had issues finding tampons that didn’t leak even when they weren’t “full”! [brand:tampax] is a reliable brand and trustworthy when it comes to knowing your going to be okay to go to cheer practice, or yoga and not have an accident.

I use a thin pad for extra protection (on my heavy days) for extra caution and I end up never bleeding through UNLESS I have slept through 8hrs, then sometimes it’s only obvious that you would bleed through your tampon.

I truly stand behind [brand:tampax] and all of their products.

For all my ladies out there, I would always suggest this product. Obviously there are different absorbancies for your different flows. I for one am someone that suffers with PCOS so its always a little (or sometimes very) heavy to begin with and these have always worked great.

I can only use an a plastic applicator. I can’t figure out a non applicator tampon and the cardboard ones are actually pretty painful to insert 😳 but these make the job smooth and simple. Another plus side is theyre pocket size! So you can discreetly put them in your purse or wherever.

The only reason I haven’t given them 5 stars is because they’re not too great on the environment unfortunately.

Tampax always comes with reliability, ease of use and a brand I can trust. However, I don’t see any great change to these cardboard ones from their predecessors. One of the reasons I use plastic applicators is because they insert painlessly, even when the area is tight or dry.

I’d love to use cardboard since I know it’s more environmentally friendly (quite frankly, I’d use a cup if that were an option for me as well) but they just don’t make the insertion easy and painless.

I know Tampax is a brand that is more attuned to women’s needs but some women just have certain challenges with their cycle that make certain options out of reach. I think if they can craft the top with the same smooth dome you find with plastic, it would make a difference.

Nonetheless, these are very good quality. The wrapper and other elements, aside from the tampon itself are all paper. Not waterproof in the slightest so I would store them in their own small bag if tucked into a purse.

They’re lightweight and the tubes didn’t have any issue with sliding on application. The tampon itself expands and absorbs predictably and reliably. There’s truly nothing wrong with the product itself, it would just come down to preference.

Some women just have far more limited options but if you can do cardboard, this is a reliable choice.

These Tampax tampons with the cardboard applicator are the original period protection women had used and trusted for years. The regular tampon will last up to 8 hours with really comfortable protection.

They expand after inserted to your own shape , as they call form fitting, and have something they call a protective skirt so it doesn’t leak. It basically stops leaks before they happen. So you do feel confident that there won’t be any leaks, but still still feel comfortable I am so grateful that are still available for use.

The cardboard applicator is biodegradable which is much better for the environment cause we all know the plastic is not. I feel that is something ladies should start thinking off. Yes it is a small thing, but all theses small things add up.

Theses were always the best, different and new products always come out but we always go back to the original cause it is always the best. I highly recommend this to all my female family and friends.

I have been a user of Tampax tampons for at least 30 years on and off. During all of those years, I’ve consistently been happy with the quality of their products. To be honest, the only reason I don’t remain loyal to this brand is because of price, paying for less expensive alternatives when it’s an option which is usually the case.

However, if there is a sale or I have a coupon, Tampax is my go-to brand! I can’t say the cardboard applicators are my favorite, though. Unfortunately, they don’t go in as smoothly or as comfortably as the plastic applicators (which again cost a little bit more).

The cardboard applicators don’t hurt or cause lingering pain, but I can feel them sometimes. Long review shorter, if you want high-quality tampons and want to pay less than the price for plastic applicators, Tampax cardboard tampons have you covered! But if you don’t want to have even a tiny twinge of discomfort when inserting your tampon, I’d go with plastic!.

This is not the prettiest conversation to have but all ladies know the struggle. All of my life I have used the same tampons and absolutely hate to deviate from the norm, I have never found another that I like as much.

The issues range from the applicator to the feel of the cotton tampon when inserted. I was nervous to use these Seventh Generation tampons that I received free to try from Generation Good based on previous experiences and saved them for an emergency situation when I ran out of my regular favorites.

When I finally did use these, I was so incredibly surprised at how much I liked these. The applicator was nice and plastic and worked well and the cotton tampon when inserted did not feel like it was really there which is what I like.

It allowed me to move freely without feeling restricted and seemed to provide even greater leak protection than my usual favorites. I told my husband about Seventh Generation and their fight for accurate labeling on feminine hygiene products and their drive for a safe product for women to use in their most sensitive areas.

After having told my husband about this and how much I liked the sample tampons, he insisted that I purchase these from now on rather than my usual brand. I definitely agree with him that it is worth a little extra money to know what I am using is better for me especially if I like them more.

My usual brand runs about $5. 49 for a 34count box and these Seventh Generation Tampons run about $6. 99 for an 18count box. These Seventh Generation Tampons about about double the price but I still agree with hubby that it is worth it for a better product.

The beauty of this organic cotton tampon is that you are NOT giving up any of the benefits of conventional tampons. The applicator is made of plant based ingredients and is as comfortable to use as a traditional plastic, and FAR better than a cardboard applicator or none at all.

These really check all of the boxes- convenient, organic, no-bleach, comfortable applicator, and reliable. The tampon is fully capable to contain and hold your flow based on the stated capacity- it functions like any other “regular” capacity tampon.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to this to another woman. In fact, I think we should all be cognizant of the products we are consuming and putting into our bodies. The organic cotton, no bleach, dyes, or fragrance is essential for something sitting in your body for hours! 10/10 would recommend these!.

I’m someone who suffers EVERY MONTH from bad rashes from my period products. These organic tampons are not made with any harsh chemicals or dyes. My body is so happy about that! I didn’t have a problem with the applicator.

It’s made with plants and not fancy like some other tampons. But that’s not needed at all, it’s better for you and for the environment. I did feel that they were not as absorbent as other regular tampons, I never ever fill a tampon and with these I did.

I actually leaked too. So not sure if because it’s all cotton it doesn’t absorb as much. It did help with my rashes though. No more chemicals for me!.

The first and last time buying this product. I had wanted to try an organic tampon product and these appealed to me because of the mix of regular and super tampons in the same tub which suited my flow perfectly.

I used a super tampon on my first heavier day, it’s not excessive bleeding but I need something a little more than a regular tampon offers on days 2 and 3. It was slightly more uncomfortable to insert despite the applicator, it was a lot chunkier than other brands I’ve used and appeared expanded prior to using rather than compacted and expanding once inserted.

However it was in and in a comfortable position then just over an hour later I could feel my underwear was wet, I went to the loo to check and the tampon had failed me miserably. I’m 30 years old and this hasn’t happened since I got my first period and was caught off guard.

When I took the tampon out the string was soaked and the tampon was falling apart and looked like when you pull cotton wool apart and had extremely unevenly absorbed the blood and had appeared to have mainly all pooled near the bottom of the tampon.

I did try another just in case it had been a one off but the same happened again. At that point it was a rush to a store to pick up a brand I haven’t had fail on me. I have since tried the most well known brand of tampons who also have an organic range and those have been brilliant, no issues at all.

So after 2 leaks, 2 ruined pairs of underwear, I’m now back using the brand I trust but their organic tampons instead. I can safely say I will never use this brand again unless they have a serious overhaul.

Periods aren’t and shouldn’t be embarrassing but nobody wants to leak through to their underwear and onto chairs, sofas or lighter coloured clothing and I’m just pleased it happened whilst working from home.

The only good thing about these is the novelty tub they came in – anything to brighten the time of the month and the mix of two absorbencies in one tub but that’s as far as it goes. Wouldn’t recommend.

New favorite tampon!! I did a lot of research of tampons and knew what I DIDN’T want. I’ve heard organic can be less absorbent than regular tampons, and I was fully prepared to hate these. HOWEVER, these are so great!! They are incredibly comfortable, with no leaks at all.

I have a fairly heavy but unpredictable cycle so I typically use regulars and supers. I’m upset I haven’t used these before now. The only problem I have had is the applicator got caught on the string when I was pulling it out after insertion so it tore some cotton away.

Other than that, these are incredible.

Unfortunately I found these to be really poor at absorbing. I have maybe 1-2 days heavier flow at the start of my period, but nothing an own brand super tampon can’t handle for 3-4 hrs. Using these I had leaked in a couple hours and thought maybe it was like a poor fit or something? But when I removed the tampon, it just didn’t seem to have absorbed much at all! I persevered but found the same every time and had to change after a couple of hours, each time they just didn’t absorb.

I’ve tried other organic tampons which worked fine so it must just be this brand. Would not recommend when they’re so unreliable, it’s not worth the risk.

I’m so excited that I tried the Flo Eco-Applicator Tampon Pack, I have always wanted a more natural feminine product and this solves that problem. I feel much better about my tampon use knowing that this product is organic, without chemicals, and it is better for my body.

The protection was great, no issues with leakage, and one package was the perfect amount for my whole cycle. It was the right balance of heavy & regular, and I loved the style of packaging, it felt unique and more discreet than a normal tampon box.

I’m so glad I made the switch!.
