This has literally been the best thing to happen to tampons! The plastic applicator makes everything smoother, easier and faster. I can’t and won’t use any other tampons after this experience! #Tampax #TampaxCompak #Tampons

This tampon has done what no other could. It has converted me. I didn't think of doing a review on it until hubby picked one up last night and asked me what sweet it was. I tried using tampons many years ago and gave up on them as never being comfy or easy to insert. With all the hype surrounding this I decided to give it a try and it did what no other could, it converted me. I can no longer use old fashioned pads after feeling the superior comfort of tampax compak. It is super easy to insert, not like those old huge cardboard ones that never went in or out smoothly. The pad itself absorbs better than anything I have ever used. It expands both lengthwise and widthwise. I think the leak guard skirt is absolutely genius as it keeps me feeling dry the entire day. This is the only tampon that has not given me thrush. Then there is the packaging, totally cute and when I am out in public very discreet to pop into my pocket when running to the ladies room.

Thank you Beauty Bulletin for this opportunity to try and test and review this product.
I’ve always considered Tampax to be a trusted household brand; however I have been using the competitor brand for many years now.
So I had to give Tampax Compak a try. At first I struggled with the insertion due to my ignorance and not reading the leaflet and instructions first. The packaging (wrapper) is beautiful I love how it’s camouflaged into something pretty and sweetie like. We are definitely evolving. I’m not entirely sure if I like the plastic applicator. I was cautious at first but then learnt that it’s not that bad at all. Change can be a difficult thing for me.
I have to agree that the absorbency of the tampons is great. No leaks and no mess, I was a bit apprehensive because of my heavy flow in the first 2 days of my period. There was no discomfort or irritation for duration of my period.
The price is right, the product is great!
I have absolutely no complaints about this product I can honestly recommend Tampax Compak to all the women out there. I will definitely consider the move to Tampax Compak
Have a happy period :)

I have started using tampon of another brand- not Tampax-since I started menstruating- in 1990. So I was a bit sceptical to try Tampax with the applicator.
Guess what??
That applicator that I was scared of- actually it is the best invention ever.
With my old tampon I had to insert it with my finger. Most of the times I would not insert it correctly as the walls of my vigina swells a bit.
This will result in pain and discomfort.
But with Tampax Compak - it is different. The applicator guides the tampon correctly to its place. I don't have to worry anymore. There was never discomfort.
The applicator is so soft you cant even feel it when you insert it. The rounded end is very comfortable and soft.
I enjoyed using the product and will recommend it.

I haven't used tampons in 6years. And when I was offered the opportunity to review the Tampax Compak I was a bit sceptical.
I am a busy Mom who loves gym and jogging. And during "that time of the month" I usually don't go to gym because of the discomfort.
Thanks to Tampax Compak, I went to gym for the first time without having to worry about discomfort or checking myself every 2minutes. I almost forgot that it was that time of the month.
I have just purchased the Tampax Compak this past week as I am pleased with the results. I will highly recommend to my friends.
I swear whoever made the Tampak Compak had me in mind.
Thank you BB once again for trusting me with your products. Much Appreciated!!!

In all my life since the beginning of my periods, I have only exposed myself to one brand of tampons and developed my trust. But as I started using the Free trial pack I got from BB, I was so perplexed at the effectiveness of this product. I am someone who has a heavy floor such that I would usually use a tampon and a pad to avoid leakage. But this time around things were very different, my flow was the same, but it felt so different because I had a new friend, insertion was so smooth, so much you wouldn`t feel you just put anything in. I would literally forget that I have something in, the level of absorption in the Tampax Compak tampon is so wow! I didn`t think I will ever find any other brand I can trust when it comes to my periods, that was until last week when I had an opportunity to put to test this awesome product.
The plastic applicators are so easy to dispose of without making everybody know that it is that time of the month and makes the insertion better than using your finger directly.
Thank you BB for exposing us to such awesome things

I must say I got these from my sister & they are so stress free, easy to use & discard. You do not even feel it when you inserting it because the applicator is silicone like.
Any day, occasion use!

I received a parcel few weeks ago and was so happy to be selected as a reviewer of Tampax and deep down I was scared since I haven't used tampons my whole life. I kept them at work hoping for my "time of the month" not to come, but who am I to stop the nature? And it had to come when I was at work, I was left with no choice but to open my parcel and went to ladies to use it. It took me long to put it on as I was a first time user reading outside the packaging how to put it on. I must say it is really a self explanatory notes that makes easier for anyone who is using them whether for first time or not. And it is so discreet that no one can even notice that you have the whole packet.
I am a very active person at work and at home, normally I feel sluggish when I am on my periods but this month I must say I felt so great in such a way that I went to gym as usual and did my jogging without any problem of feeling dirty or smelly.
I told my sister about Tampax who was an existing user of tampons and she also bought a pocket for herself. I am in love with Tampax and I will not look back at any other products it keeps me absorbed, comfortable and confident.

Hi Its that time of the month for me. This was my first time using any type of tampon, I was fortunate enough to be chosen by Tampax to review their product. The packaging was very amusing for me lots of colours and funky, the plastic applicator is very convenient as i did not mess myself when inserting it. I was very anxious on the first night as i usually mess my bed due to heavy flow i was so amazed when waking up there so not a tiny spot. I even forgot that i am on periods, i am so looking forward going to the gym today. Your product did not disappoint me.
Thank you Tampax you made life easy for me as a mother and a career woman.

The packing is really nice...it really looks like candy. I received the Tampax Compax samples just as mother nature decided to visit. I've never used applicator tampons before...was actually scared but I tried these case they are small and don't actually look like they'll make you uncomfortable. I'm totally transformed...will definitely be adding these to my shopping list. Thank you for the opportunity!

I've used applicator tampons before but what I like about the Tampax Compak is that it's so small. Really easy to stash in your clutch when going out, etc. The plastic applicator makes it very easy to use and the protective "skirt" means there's even less chance of leakage.
Perfect for a first-time tampon user!

As a Beauty Bulletin Insider chosen to do the Tampak Compak review as a mom on the go...I am excited to share my experience.
I am a fan of tampons because they make you feel so safe and secured. I dont have to worry about any leakages or being uncomfortable...I do my chores and run errands as usual. The only thing I worry about is the period pains.

WOW! What a change! I've never used applicator tampons before, but these were simple and straight forward. As I have very heavy periods most products are not as effective as I would like, despite this I found them to be comfortable and are on par with other similar products.
The funky packaging design and colours are a nice change to the obviousness of regular tampons.
Well done TAMPAX for your new and refreshing COMPAK design.

I was a bit skeptical about tampons and never ever tried them out before.
Firstly the packaging so super amazing you'd think it's sweet wrappers. I used the super absorbent tampons because of my heavy flow. They were a bit uncomfortable at first because I had to learn how to insert them properly but the plastic applicator helped a lot.....Here is to my next period with Tampax Compak :)

I was ignorant to using Tampons... I was uneducated, and when I used it, I obviously inserted it incorrectly, so when sitting, walking or standing I was in enormeous pain.
2 years went by and a friend of mine insisted that when we went away that I use tampons. I told her about my TERRIBLE PAINFUL experience - she then gave me the BEST advice ever.
Put a little bit of vaseline on the tip, insert and push up-and-back.
I dont worry about getting my period any longer. I even forget when I have my period. I dont know what I was such a 'late-bloomer' for this product.
I will always encourage it to EVERY female. You forget about your period

Really loved this product.
Firstly, upon receiving it, I was impressed at the neat and compact design of the box, and the packaging. It is discreet, and can fit in any small handbag and purse.
When using it, the first time, I struggled because I was too lazy to read the instructions, so I didn't know that i had to pull out the applicator part - my laziness !!
When I finally got it right, it was sooo easy to use. It was so comfortable, as I didn't feel it the duration that I had it in. I will definitely recommend this product, and have actually bought myself more, since using this product.

Being a 33 year old mother to three daughters all under the age of 9, personal space is a term I left behind years ago. So, when I am moody and miserable and suffering from lower abdominal cramps during the first week of each month, the last thing I need is my precious time in the loo to attend to my tampon-change to be interrupted by a lassie asking what I am doing.
Firstly, I mostly use the regular-size tampons because my flow is not what it used to be (after three babies and birth-control) I am happy to report that at least I do not have to use the super-size tampons as regularly as before. The fact that the tampons are packaged as "cutely" as they are, means that I can now hide them in the discreet side-zip pocket of my handbag which my daughters will never discover. I always preferred applicator tampons because I could never walk around with a jar of Vaseline in order to insert my non-applicator tampons - no way! So, with the new design of these tampons, it is super discreet and I love that especially for work purposes when I need to use the loo, or even at home, because at least I don't have three enquiring minds asking what I have in my hand, and what is it used for?:)
Life is just so much easier with the Tampax Compak because it takes the stress out of having my monthly period. I never have to worry about tampons rolling out of my bag because it is kept in the small zipped pocket of my handbag now, whereas before, I would have the long yellow or white wrapped tampons rolling around in my bag and then having to shove them up a long-sleeved top before running to the loo. Now, simple, easy and still the same amazing absorbency that has always come from Tampax.

I would firstly like to say Thank you for choosing to try out the Tampax Compak I have been able to take up new activities thanks to my new found freedom with Tampax I used to have had times during the time of the month and Tampax came to my rescue. My friends organised an adventurous experience for us quad biking, bungee jumping, hiking, paint balling etc. and I was not sure if I could go or not because I was my periods.
Receiving Tampax Compak rescued me from misery and the candy like packaging was screaming try me and you will never be disappointed. I tried it and ohhh my word it was comfortable easy to insert, painless and soft. I was able to do all the adventurous activities without stress thank you so much Tampax Compak.
The plastic applicator is so soft, painless and hygienic. It has definitely revolutionized the way I use tampons I would definitely continue to use Tampax Compak tampons and suggest it to my friends and family. Thank you so much BB for making my life easy.
Thank Again for the Opportunity.

As a loyal Lil-Lets user, I was quit intrigued to try Tampax for he first time! When I got my courier package, I could not wait to try out these babies! The packaging was a refreshing departure from what we girls are used to, when it comes to feminine hygiene products! Away, with the obvious, I -know-what -you -have -there old-school white tampon wrapper and hallo, bright, happy , fun and strangely more discrete packaging!
The wrapping looks like a sweet wrapper, and the only hint that it is something else is the R or S printed on for the size, and even then you wouldn't think that it was a tampon!
The product itself was easy to use, comfortable and effective! It was really great to try a new product and be satisfied with it on so many levels.So much so, that I consider foregoing on my trusted Lil-Lets to use Tampax instead!
Thank you for the opportunity to test them!

So i had my time of the month last week and i must say Tampax Compak took a very good care of me.
The plastic applicator is so soft, i did not feel a thing , easy to insert and to withdraw and discard. Life is just made easy for women at large, come to think of it .
I received a box at 1st to review of which i did thereafter i entered a competition & i won a years' supply. I must say that i am covered & protected for months!

I've actually never tried applicators before and have always been sceptical of it. Not anymore though! The Tampax Compak is just so easy to use! I received a multipack from Beauty Bulletin and I simply love this idea as well because I've always had to buy 2 boxes for different flows before but not anymore!
This is definitely a product I will stick to using always.

Lets start from the beginning...
The first thing I noticed (I've NEVER used applicator tampons before so everything was a first) was the size of the box compared to my normal brand of non applicator tampons...hmmm... let's wait for AF.
Ok AF is here- open the box, grab one + instructions and off to the toilet I go (at work:/)
Read the instructions- easy, clear and gives me an exact idea of what to do.
1...2...3... DONE. It was love at first AF!
I could not feel it (some brands of tampons hurt me especially on the first day), process was super easy and much more hygienic (and here I thought my "normal" tampons were hygienic) than regular non applicator tampons with regards to insertion.
The plastic applicator is a bit of a nuisance to throw away, but that's the problem with all applicator tampons. Just put a "tear here" thingy in the packet- would be much easier to open.
The normal was great on the first day and the super was a bit too super for me- even at my heaviest so I will stick to regular.
I will definitely be purchasing tampax compak and even other tampons from the tampax range- I just love it. Now I know what all the hype is about!
My hiding spot for my tampon is my make up bag- I always have it with me :)

I could not feel it (some brands of tampons hurt me especially on the first day), process was super easy and much more hygienic (and here I thought my "normal" tampons were hygienic) than regular non applicator tampons with regards to insertion.
The plastic applicator is a bit of a nuisance to throw away, but that's the problem with all applicator tampons. Just put a "tear here" thingy in the packet- would be much easier to open.
The normal was great on the first day and the super was a bit too super for me- even at my heaviest so I will stick to regular.
I will definitely be purchasing tampax compak and even other tampons from the tampax range- I just love it. Now I know what all the hype is about!
My hiding spot for my tampon is my make up bag- I always have it with me :)

Being a new tampon user, my first time was a bit scary. Though I struggled opening the package covering the tampon, the packaging was very vibrant & summer(y). Insertion was made easier by the soft plastic cover of the applicator. The tampon itself was rather comfortable to use & I loved the fact that it has such a short string. I also love that it comes in a variety for light to strong flow. I will definitely recommend it to my girlfriends. Thank you BB & Tampax Compak.

These Tampax tampons are lovely!
I received two boxes to test - normal and super. I loved the applicator - it was smooth and super easy to use. The wrappers are also great - I don't really care if someone sees a tampon in my bag, but many women feel awkward about that, and these wrappers avoid those awkward moments. It was also nice that you can get the wrapper off easily. With Lil-lets I sometimes struggle to unwrap the tampons.
Insertion was very smooth and not uncomfortable at all. Removal was also easy and quick.
I would definitely recommend this to other women.

I recieved my pack a week before i was to have my periods. Yesterday as i went in for an operation i had no reason to panick for i knew my compact will be there. No mess no fuss. Easy to use and easy to carry anytime, anywhere. I love the short applicator which is smooth for insertion and no mess like using a tampon without an applicator. The pricing is also good. Ladies who didnt get the opportunity to get a free pack, run to your neares store to get them i highly recommend this brand

I received the multipack which consists of a pack of 8 super and 8 regular tampons to meet my needs. It definitely beats buying different sizes for different flows. I would recommend this to all my friends and family and anyone out there looking to find a product that is comfortable, easy to use and ever so discreet. The string was not too long, and the no leak skirt is great . The packaging is lovely and seals the deal!

I have used many tampons in the past and never really found one that i was comfortable with, i always felt it no matter how i inserted it, but finally i have found a brand that fits nicely and i don't even know is there. I would recommend this to all my friends and family and anyone out there looking to find a product that is comfortable.
I don't need to constantly check to see if i leaked and can just concentrate on the other tasks in my life.
Thank you Tampax, i am definitely sold on this product...

I have previously used Tampax and was'nt that impressed, so when I received the multipack to test I decided to give Tampax another try.
Oh my word, I am definitely converted! The applicators are soooo easy to use and so smooth! You can literally insert it with one hand tied behind your back, which was not the case with my other brand of applicator tampons. I also liked that the string was not too long, just the right length. The no leak skirt is also a bonus and the packaging really nice. I will definitely purchase these tampons this month. Thank you Tampax, I am really impressed with this product!

Tampax Compak definitely takes the stress out of that time of the month for me!I don't have to worry about doing and going to the places I love to go,because it honestly gives great long lasting protection and comfort!
I received the multipack which consists of a pack of 8 super tampons and 8 regular to meet my periods needs. It surely beats buying different sizes for different days and flows.
The candy like packaging is so cute and fun looking,nobody will ever think its actually a tampon.
I love the plastic applicator,its such a pleasure inserting,its smooth,easy and comfy,plus its really hygienic!
What I also love is the built in protection skirt,thankfully I never have to worry about any leakage. The removal is pretty easy and painless as well.
So would I continue to use Tampax Compak tampons? Absolutely!!! And I definitely recommend it because with Tampax Compak,your period is never a drab!!!

I really love the new Tampax, the fact that its so small and versatile is perfect to just throw in your handbag without having to worry about it falling out and people thinking you have a vibrator in there lol. The plastic applicator is so much better that the old cardboard applicator. I love the fact that it won't bend or warp and that you can use the same wrapper to dispense the applicator in. Thank you Tampax for a wonderful new product.

Wow, this is too great, it is so small it can fit anywhere you could ever imagine be it a bag, pencil case or even new sanitary pads cases. it fits in the palm of my hand as well. still wrapped in a nice colour wrap as if it were candy.
open the wrap there it was the plastic applicator! took 1 tampon out from the wrap, figured out how to actually use it without even reading the leaflet oh great no more pushing with a finger hahahaha who ever inverted it i'm quite sure SHE had had enough of it.
Easy to use, easy to insert and taking out too when it's time to take it out without even scratching yourself or feeling it for that matter.
With tampons you are at ease, you do not have to worry about having a blot in your clothes or being uncomfortable when it's that time of the month like sanitary pads. i can go anywhere be it a party, work, dinner or meeting knowing Tampax Compak is in control.
I must say i was so scared at first when i tried a tampon, had to many questions and worries after i saw my elder sister using it and had bought it secretly had to find out how it felt and how it worked since i hated periods that much worse the sanitary pad!
Beauties this is a must have in a very ladies bag.
It's affordable, can be purchased from many stores and does deliver.
It's that time of the month, hello Tampax Compak. :)

Thank you Beauty Bulletin for my first experience of applicator tampon . I have got to say that it was pretty easy task ,even though I was a bit nervous . The plastic covering of the applicator was so soft that it made insertion so natural that I did not even know or feel the applicator in me until I looked ;-) Thank you Tampax for making my first experience of an applicator is great and enjoyable one . I love the length of the tampon string since it was short , there was no string being exposed when I wore a bikinis during the Valentine’s weekend nor did I need to trim the string to hide it when wearing a bikinis . I was really comfortable of the snug fit that I was no longer was paranoid looking behind me every second . Tampax is now the new God sent solution to our excitement and enjoyment during our that time of the month .That is indeed how I felt and was kind of sad when my period ended for the month . But then I ecstatic about next month .

I had already used these new Tampax Compak before, and have been purchasing them ever since. I find I need to use applicator tampons, yet they aren't always easy to keep hidden as they're a lot larger than non-applicators.
Enter Tampax Compak - easy to use, small and cute in their candy-style wrappers, and work like a dream!
I will always repurchase these as my brand of choice now.

This was launched a years ago in South Africa. Not long after that, they disappeared and I've been hunting for them ever since. I was thrilled when I received a box to try out!
These tampons are so convenient to throw in your bag for just in case, and because the applicator is plastic, they're less likely to get damaged than the cardboard kind.
My favourite aspect of these is that they're almost frictionless. They always insert smoothly... which is a definite plus for those days when your flow is less continuous.
The only down side is that they're slightly more expensive than other cardboard applicator tampons, however they make up for the cost. Unless something better and more innovative comes onto the market, these are the tampons that I will continue buying.

OMW!!!!!
I received the pack and loved the packaging and the colors.
Prior to my move I used to use the lil-lets tampons and I thought they were a life saver and little did I know what is in stall for me….
I was lucky to receive the regular pack and the super flow pack…I used the super pack I must say they not for me.
The regular is my right fit….
I feel in love with tampaks instantly I love the applicator ?
The pad itself doesn’t feel bushy and dry instead its soft and you even forget its there ? one of the advantages…..I can get on with my life and not worry about that time of the month.
The only input I can add is that they need to include some instructions because I had to throw away 2 tampons as I was not sure how to use the application.
I give them 120/100 stars

That time of the month is a necessary evil, but not one any one enjoys. The simplest and most comftable solution is what everyone looks for, whether it be sanitary pads or tampons as long as your life is not on hold. I must admit I am not a fan of tampons, yet there are things in life you can not always do with when your wearing a sanitary pad. Swimming, a dinner date or even laying on the beach are just a few.
I am usually concealing the sanitary pad or tampon in my pocket or under my shirt if I am at work. Its usually not a very pretty site when you walking to the bathroom past the kitchen with either option in your hand. The wrapping of tampax made it so easy to conceal, it looks like a chocolate rather than a Tampon. Which was a thumbs up already for me.
I usually find it a gruelling experience to put a tampon on and usually a painfull one.
The applicator with tampax made it a safe and easy experience. Not only does it give it a soft cover, you can barely feel it. You can do all you want and never know its that time of the month.
Its simple and easy to use not to mention life carries on with out you knowing it.
I could productively do my job, run up and down when necessary, go to the gym and not have a care in the world. There was a period where I forgot I was wearing a tampon.
I use to wear it every day and had a blissful time of the month. It is a definite on my shopping list every month.

Got to say I love the TAMPAX COMPAK, makes one feel absolutely great and comfortable. Never felt so good when I'm sleeping at night without worrying that I will wake up in a pool of red sea. This is the greatest comfort ever, I get to wear anything because I know that I'm secured. Great Job?

Tampak Compak is a fabulous new product! I never liked using applicator tampons before because it was to big to carry around in your hand at the office, and I didn't like the cardboard applicator to much.
I absolutely love the new plastic applicator, the tampon itself works wonderfully! No leaking at all! I love that I can now just fold my hand over the tampon and walk to the bathroom without fearing that someone might see the tampon in my hand!
I will buy Tampax Compak in future because it's really a product that works.
Thank you Beauty Bulletin for the wonderful opportunity to try out Tampax Compak :-)

Good morning ladies
So we are all stuck with one thing that make us all wish we were men instead... hahaha. I hate that time of the month as I am always uncomfortable and always worry about 'leakage'.
So I tried the awesome sample that was sent to me (Thank you for that) and must say that I am very impressed. I did not feel uncomfortable or insecure once using Tampax. They are easy to insert and didn't even feel like I was wearing anything :)
