Please be warned this review might be quite graphic. If you are a woman it is inevitable that needing products of this nature is going to be a certainty, unfortunately. If you are a man, I'm sorry about this review but you may have to go and pick up a product of this sort for your lady friend in an emergency! I usually buy the economy pack of Tampax super tampons, but they arent very transportable, so I also buy these Tampax Compak just to keep in my handbag, the are a lot smaller! --- Packaging --- These tampons come in the normal Tampax packaging, a big square cardboard box, brightly coloured in blue and green to ...  Read the complete review

These applicator tampons are about £3 for 20, but they are also available in multi-packs and packs of other quantities as well. As they are a "super" absorbency, they are suitable for more "heavy" flow, mainly at the beginning of your period. The outer packaging is a green and deep blue patterned cardboard box, making it better for the environment as it is suitable for recycling, with a white Tampax Compak logo in the centre, adding more contrast. The packaging does look attractive and appealing, which made me more inclined to purchase the product! Inside the box is the leaflet explaining the instructions for use, and also the ...  Read the complete review

Well this has to be one of the scariest review I have ever done. During a slightly drunken conversation my friend commented that there is not enough said or written about women’s Menstrual products. Being an idiot I made a very off the cuff remark that it would not bother me to do a review on this. Well then, came back the comment put your money where your mouth is. So here goes. Going back a very very long time ago, on my 12th birthday, the presents I got were a new top, money, shoes, earrings and my first period. The first time I saw it I felt like I was going to die. Although my parents had been very open with me, nothing ever prepares you for your first ...  Read the complete review

If you are of a squeamish nature you probably wont want to, or indeed if you are of the school of thought that would rather die than admit that they exist. What am I talking about? Well periods of course. There, I said it and probably lost half of my readers already, particularly the men amongst you. For those that are still here, if you are sitting comfortably, then I'll begin and I promise I'll try not to be too graphic! I started my period this morning. It didn't unnerve me, or disgust me and I was expecting it. Well, most of us girls have periods and since we have progressed from the days where you wouldn't leave the house because of the ...  Read the complete review

I think any tampon with an appicator is worth a go.....not into the whole non applicator experience.....sorry boys....but its not a nice experience. Now, I can't really comment on cost of these, as they seem to differ from shop to shop....offer to offer. I Never every buy feminine items unless on offer, I know I am gonna use them....I sort of know when, given this biological maths, its a no brainer, buy on special. Last time I got them, I bought in Boots 2 packs of Super for £4.oo.....16 per box. I have always been drawn to these, as they are so small. They are only just bigger than the non applicator versions on sale. The plastic applicator is ...  Read the complete review
