Tampax Cardboard Tampons for Women Super Plus Absorbency, Anti-Slip Grip, LeakGuard Skirt, Unscented, 40 Count

I absolutely love love love these tampons. These are Super Plus absorbency, and are meant to hold 12-15 grams. There's 40 in a box and each ones is individually wrapped. These are unscented and free of perfume, chlorine bleaching, and dyes. The price is fantastic, it's cheaper to go through Amazon for these than in store. I used to be able to find the cardboard applicator tampons in stores but they are becoming more and more elusive to find, all the way to non existent. And if I was ever able to find these in store, they were always much more expensive than the plastic applicator ones? Weird. Thankfully, Amazon has these bad boys always stocked. These seem to absorb better, and I have found they also keep leaks from happening. With the plastic ones, sometimes what is coming out would bypass the tampon all together. It's advertised that the braid on the plastic one is supppsed to solve that, but it doesn't do it like the cardboard ones do. The string feels more in tact on these as well, making it more controllable when removing the tampon. I like these because they don't have the plastic tip applicator, which is horrible for the environment and they don't break down like the cardboard does. Even the wrapper on these breaks down easily and efficiently, compared to the plastic applicator ones which also have a plastic like wrapper. The only thing I do maybe like about the plastic applicator is just the ease of putting the tampon in, it glides in better and the tampon comes out of the applicator a little better. I have however found a little trick to help solve this - when using the cardboard applicator ones, after taking it out of the wrapper packaging, shift the cardboard on the bottom section ( the section you normally push to get the tampon to go in ) shimmy it just a little bit up and down before you go to put it in, it loosens up the cardboard and helps it not feel like it's sticking or getting stuck trying to push the cardboard applicator to get the tampon in. Please don't ever stop carrying these!!!!For those that might need more info on what absorbency is right for you when getting Tampax brand:Light absorbency - less than 6 gramsRegular absorbency - 6-9 gramsSuper absorbency - 9-12 gramsSuper Plus absorbency - 12-15 gramsUltra absorbency - 15-18 grams
