Advantages: Gorgeous packaging

Disadvantages: They are tiny so hard to handle

I hate that time of the month, its not glamorous, or fun and won't ever be lets be honest. I usually roll in to Boots in a vile mood and pick up whatever they have available on offer and get back home. This time however I saw a gorgeous little pink and white stripey box. I'm like a magpie when it comes to pink things and these stood out on the shelf so I had a closer look.

The box is very small it has a cut out window showing two little tube shaped tins, I have to be honest it was the tins that sold it really. They are very cute and each hold 8 non applicator tampons. Ideal for your handbag and you wouldn't know what what is them if your bag spilt over the floor (although I'm not really worried about that) The tins are pink and white striped with a black lid with Moxie written on, the tin has a ribbon printed on it with a black bow at the front, it has a 1950's feel I think. The tins are reusable and recyclable which is great. I have used one to put hair grips in which gives you an idea of the size as the hair grip is the same height as the tin.

Inside the tins are 8 individually wrapped regular tampons (they also make super and super plus) regular have an absorbancy of 6 to 9g (light to medium). The tampons are very tiny indeed, I was quite shocked, they are non applicator and have a decent length white string. The wrapper twists off which is heaven if you have ever tried to get out out of the pack and it won't work. The tampons also have a silken glaze coating making it easy to use.

I always use regular tampons and these were as absorbant as any other regular tampons so I was confident all the time I was using them. Application and removal were the same as any other brand too. The instruction leaflet was good, all the usual stuff apart from a diagram but lets be honest you've seen one you've seen them all!

I expected these to be more expensive than other brands as they were so pretty but they were £1.99 which is about average for 16. Moxie market these on how pretty they are saying 'spoil yourself' I think it is a great idea, I'm not too sure I'd be totally brand loyal as now I have the tins I can reuse them but it was much nicer buying these than other sanitary products and I did feel slightly more feminine! I bought them from Boots and I think Superdrug sell them too.

I would recommend these to every one, they are effective and attractive in your bathroom or handbag what more can a girl want?

Summary: Great tampons to cheer you up
