No just no

I bought Tampax Pearl sinxey regular brand was out of stock that day, and let me tell you I got super and it still leaked, I could feel it inside the whole time and I had to keep changing my tampon due to it constantly coming out on it's own. Definitely sticking to my regular brand.

I usually love Tampax pearl tampons so I figured the compact version of the product would be great. Boy was I wrong. I bought a box of the super absorbancy ones and even though the first one went in fine every other one I have had applicator issues with. You have to pull out and click to extend the stem before insertion. The problem is even after it is clicked into place it does not stay clicked into place when you try to insert it. Halfway through pushing on the stem it unlocks and you end up with the tampon only half as far up as you would want it. You end up having to manually push it into place which is a pain. If I wanted an applicatorless tampon I would have bought that.

I would never recommend this product to another person. Save your money and just get the full sized version if you like the pearl.
