Tesco Tampons

This week whilst doing my usual weeks shop in Tescos I had the unexpected surprise of finding my usual brand of tampons (tampax) sold out apart from the 'minis'. As these cannot hold a mouse's period, I had to go for Tescos own brand tampons. I didn't mind too much as their other own brand products are usually high in standard, and equally as good as the pricier well known brands. This time unfornately I was wrong. Although they are at a good price compared to Tampax, at just £1.49 for a box of 32, I found them a really low quality product. I bought my usual 'Super' size but found the Tescos ones to be a lot smaller, they look ...  Read the complete review

Never thought I'd be doing a review on tampons! Last week I found myself out of Tampons and in the feminine hygeine aisle in Tescos. Now even though I try to get value/own brand on everything I buy I always seem to pick up Tampax without even thinking. Like they're the only brand there is! Soooooo my eyes fell upon the little pink boxes on the lower shelves which proudly proclaimed Tesco Tampons and I decided to investigate. Tesco Regular Applicator Tampons cost 3.9p each (in a box of 30) and Tampax Regular Applicator Tampons cost 9.1p each (in a box of 40), doesn't sound like much but it all adds up! I decided to buy.... I purchased a box of ...  Read the complete review

About 2 weeks go I walked back in to the bedroom after my shower to discover that my darling little son (aged 16 months) had found my Tampax in a drawer and taken them all out. Not only had he taken them out though he had sat there with his teeth and pulled the papers off, pulled out the tampons and chewed the cardboard applicators! After a minor panic (and after cleaning the mess up) I decided that if he was going to find them in very carefully hidden places them perhaps I should look for a cheaper alternative to Tampax. After a quick browse around Dooyoo I discovered, to my surprise, that Tesco have their own brand of applicator Tampons. I say surprised as ...  Read the complete review

Sorry men and boys, this is one of my now rare non-alcohol related opinions and to cap it all it's going to be about girly things too! Periods - no woman can surely claim to like, enjoy or look forward to the experience or enjoy paying the ridiculous prices charged for sanitary products to keep you clean, comfortable and protect your clothes - hardly a joy is it? So again, like with most products I buy when it comes to such items, I go for shop brands as the price is generally more reasonable while the product remains much the same. During my "time of the month", or whatever you prefer to call it, I use a combination of regular towels, ...  Read the complete review

Great on Price, very similar to other own brands in packaging, the outer box is pretty plain with the picture of a tulip on the front and a band of colour to denote absorbency. Purple = Mini (only available in Multi pack) Yellow = Regular Green = Super Orange = Super Plus But it's whats inside that counts and getting inside is easy just peal off sticky tape and your are in, the box can be resealed so no problems there. The tampons themselves are in paper wrappers that have coloured writing on that match the absorbency rating and are easily opened, the tampon is made from either cotton, rayon or a mixture of cotton/rayon absorbent ...  Read the complete review
