Being a woman that has tried many brands for feminine care, THIS is the top notch tier of tampons. The applicator is Plastic; SUPER easy to use, literally glides with ease like no other, no snagging, cutting,the applicator head opening up, NOTHING..& does Not hurt during application unlike other brands. Tampax ALSO sincerely cares about feminine care, because they made the tampons free of bleach or dyes SO you aren't just putting any type of tampon inside of your body and they made them specially to open up to fit inside your body, unlike other brands... Secondly, as a woman that is diagnosed with endometriosis I JUST want to state that it may seem cheesy/corny/tacky to review a WHOLE tampon, However THIS may help a woman that's ACTUALLY having pain during her cycles due to cysts/endometriosis & if I didn't have Tampax pearl, there'd be days that I wouldn't have been able to work or do other activities due to my cycle. Tampax pearl is ALSO created VERY thoughtfully for women, down to the string, THAT will absorb any extra fluid until your next change, ESPECIALLY during your heavier flow days. Tampax ALSO created variety pack boxes with light, regular,super,super plus, to fit your personal needs, so THAT you're not being destructed by your cycle. Where's with pads,or even other brands I've had disastrous embarrassing leaks, & I will say hands down that this tampon is the ONLY one I would trust if I'm going somewhere or it's important,& I need reliability. I can rely on these every single time. & Without pain or discomfort,or how my other half purchased a generic type of THESE for cheaper,& they smelled strongly of bleach..which cannot be healthy at ALL. I KNOW everyone's has their own personal preference; I'm In the beauty industry with many females & some use cups or strictly pads etc.. However THIS is what works for me,& is my go to,& no other brand compares. None. I've tried them ALL.& Cutting corners to save a dollar because they can be a tad bit more expensive than say other brands or similar looking generic brands, however you're risking your health with the WHOLE dyes and bleach, you absolutely Will have leaking if you have heavy cycles; the way the Tampax string is designed is to prevent that issue..& you won't have pain/discomfort/10 mins in bathroom trying to get yourself together. It makes things so MUCH simpler and again, it's JUST reliable. I can count that it'll get me through, AND it does. & It doesn't inflame or cause any extra pain. There's no malfunctions with applicator like other brands when using..& you're not going to lose the string,& you're not going to need to wear a pad and a tampon if you're wearing the correct type for your cycle(it explains on side of the box). Which is great for someone like me that lost my mother at a young age, so I had to figure THESE things out by trial and error on my own. I'll never have to use pads with it again like when I was younger with other brands. As long as you pay attention to changing times etc... THESE are game changers. & I'm not a VERY open person about things like THIS, However maybe it'll help a teenage girl at lacrosse practice that has to run laps and the other brands aren't completely stopping the flow from leaking; the ultimate embarrassment. & The way they're designed you can be discreet with them by putting them in the Palm of your hand,or I believe they do make travel size ones/compact ones as well. Tampax nailed it with the pearl. Highly recommend this product to other women.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I choose a tampon, I look for two things leak protection and comfort. That's exactly why I love tampax pearl. I never have to worry about nasty odors, leaks, or being uncomfortable. These tampons really save the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used tampax pearl regular absorbency tampons this month for my monthly and they work great. No leaks at all. They glide in smoothly and you can't tell you've even got it in there. I definitely recommend tampax tampons!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so comfortable, easy to use, discreet, and they have cute packaging. I carry these around in my purse all the time just in case and if someone else needs one in an emergency, they are not embarrassing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my trusted brands for leak protection. The regular size is perfect for most of my period. They are easy to use and easy to store in my purse. That time of the month is not the most pleasant but Tampax makes it a little more bearable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm usually a pad girl but sometimes here and there I may use Tampax and you know what these where not bad. It took me some time to learn how to use them correctly and now it's not as difficult as they use to be. I truly won't mind using these sometimes as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tampons are my perfect choice, they are not too big to fit in my bag or pocket. The package is easily opened to access them. They are fragrance-free and very easy to use as well as comfortable. They are super absorbent and easy to remove without inserting other tampons. These are the perfect size for a light flow or the last few days of your period. They are easy to use and comfortable while you wear it. I have always bought this brand and will continue to give great protection and comfort. I have not filtered it in this brand but I have in other brands. I always recommend this brand. They are reasonably priced, I love them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tampax brand tampons have always been my go to and these are no exception, these tampons are very comfortable and protect from leaks. I trust this brand and always have. I would recommend this product to woman everywhere!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great tampons and a good amount in the box. They fit good, so I don't have any leakage from my heavy menstrual cycles. These are also comfortable enough where I don't feel like I'm wearing one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't been a fan of wearing tampons, my whole adult life, until I found Tampax pearl! Tampon application was always awkward and painful for me, until I found these smooth plastic applicator tampons made by Tampax! Are use the regular size, it keeps me feeling secure for hours! If you were like me, and not on board with tampons, most of your life, I highly recommend trying Tampax pearl!
