These tampons are very comfortable to wear. They're not too large that causes discomfort, but not too small that they allow leakage. I don't keep mine in for 8 hours because it seems unsanitary. I usually leave my in for 2 to 4 hours, depending on when I go to the bathroom next.
I don't like the fact it doesn't have an applicator. I mean really who wants to get their hands dirty like that? I know they make tampons with applicators, but I wanted to give this product the benefit of the doubt. While it does work for its intended job, I am Sorry to say I will not purchase this product in the future.
This is the first tampon I ever used and it will be last! Discreet, easy tu put, different sizes... less garbage! Some people find it a little bit disgusting to put it yourself but it looks worst that what it is in reality! You must give it a try!
These are very short which I find more comfortable. I used to use very long ones which I found slipped much more easily and didn't always sit well. The lack of applicator is nice since it makes the product much cheaper and is more environmentally friendly, but it also makes the tampons hard to use. You have to make sure your hands are very clean which is hard if you're in a public washroom. Even if you washed your hands, you still have to go through your bag and open the stall door, etc. Inserting them is a pain. Since there is no cover, they don't just slide in like other tampons, there is lots of friction which hurts, especially if you've already inserted/removed several other tampons that day. Your fingers can get dirty, which is awkward in a public stall. Unwrapping them is a nuisance since the wrapper is a snug fit and there are no tabs to pull apart.
I have been using tampons for about 10 years now, and I have tried many different kinds over the years. Overall my favorite brand is definitely O.B. Tampons. I have tried plenty of tampons with applicators and I actually don't like them as much. For some reason I feel like they don't open up enough to keep leaks from happening. O.B. tampons without the applicators work much better for me. The Ultra Absorbency tampons stop leaks from happening and keep me feeling clean and fresh. I cant even feel them, which is even better, and it almost helps make me feel like I'm not even on my period, other than the bloating/cramps at times. I know they say the higher the absorbency of tampons, the more the risk of getting TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome), so I try to even out the amount of absorbencies I use. I mostly use these Ultra Absorbency tampons during the heaviest days and try to stick with Supers or Regulars on other days. They have a multipack you can buy at most stores. They're small and discreet, so they're easy to take with you and store anywhere. I highly recommend O.B. Tampons!!
These are my go to tampons. I like the little cases they come with too. Great absorbance and an afforabnle price
