https://www.beautybulletin.com/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/38962/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/38962/ I have been using Tampax over the years as I loved their applicator which made use of the product so much easier for us sensitive gals. However, the actual product I feel, is lacking. It doesn't last as long as I would want and it loses it shape too quickly. I also feel that it almost moves down during wear which gets uncomfortable really quickly. The only upside is the applicator, the product is mediocre. ]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2019 09:42:58 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/38906/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/38906/ 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 ]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2019 19:20:53 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/31342/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/31342/ Okeyyyy then, little out of my comfort zone since this would be the first time I review something other than a Beauty or Skin product!! ;-) But here goes. First of all it comes in this super colorful box which just kind of takes your mind of the depressing forecast. I absolutely love the short and compact size of each tampon which make carrying them around or handling them discreet sooooo much easier than their predecessors which was almost as long as your arm hie hie hie hie. The round plastic tip makes it easy to insert and the product itself feels very comfortable. BUT there are one thing that kind of put me off Tampax and that is....... Tampax seems to grow in length as it absorbs more than in width which is kind of the opposite of what you want. Its as if a Tampax is stitched through the middle from the top to the bottom before its compacted and packed where as most other tampons just grow in width with no stitching even showing (so how its made I don't know). This might not be a problem for young girls , but for women who had babies and obviously need to use a plus size a tampon growing in width is just that much more reassuring that there will be no unexpected surprises! But other than that its stays a super amazing product ]]> Mon, 07 Nov 2016 13:59:14 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/31329/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/31329/ I used the super plus and its nice and it feels like I don't even have my period ]]> Mon, 07 Nov 2016 09:55:51 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/25533/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/25533/ Thanks BB for letting me be part to review this great product, and a big thanks to Tampax for creating this product for us. I received my box and I was ecstatic and nervous at the same time. Since I I have a loop I get heavy flow during my second and third day of my periods and it's not easy to use something new because you don't know if it's going to disappoint you. I tried it anyway and it worked like a glove. I loved the packaging it's so colourful and it looks like a sweet so even if someone sees it won't be a problem. I love the fact that it fits my small cosmetic bag perfectly. The plastic cover is a cherry on the top and the round tip makes it easier to insert the tampon. It's a must have for all women who likes being free of worries during that time of the month ]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:35:17 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/24852/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/24852/ Firstly, thank you BB for the opportunity to try out the new Tampax Compak tampons I received a while ago. As a 40 something woman, my period seems a bit erratic of late and to be very honest I'm typically not a huge fan of tampons, although having said that, they definitely have their place and serve their purpose, especially when one is active as it is a lot more comfortable and discreet than pads. I received the Super (green) and Regular (yellow) tampons in my Tampax Compak Multipack. The packaging certainly is very attractive - the boxes and wrappers come in funky colours - they almost look like boxes of sweets. I must say that at first I found the applicator process unfamiliar and a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it, it definitely makes application simpler - no mess, no fuss. However, whilst the Tampax tampons are generally comfortable once inserted, they do not seem to be as absorbent as other brands, which have a different, "moulded" bullet shape. Usually my flow is heaviest on the first and/or second day and I usually suffer from really bad cramps, and I find tampons, particularly on those days to be a little uncomfortable. As I believe that I am nearing menopause, it seems unlikely that I will be using tampons too much in the future but based on my experience, I would certainly recommend Tampax tampons. Thanks again to BB for sending me my sample pack! ]]> Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:42:00 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/23758/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/23758/ after all the ranting and raving I couldn't wait to get my hands on these :) I tried them and I loved the fact that it comes in a small cute package that looks like sweetie wrappers - but after trying it I must say I don't really like how it "absorbs" - if that's what you can call it , when removing these tampons they come out all squished and almost 'messy; - they cant compare to lillets in that department - the only thing I loved about this was the packaging - im going to stick to lillets and what I know - when using lillets I almost feel like they are less messy and 'stronger' - tampax is not my Fav brand ]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2015 09:54:29 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/23622/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/23622/ I received a few tampons in the mail that Clicks sent me. I have never tried the applicator tampons so I was a bit curious to try these out. My first attempt as this ended badly, and I won't try the applicators again. The tampon it self was also not up to my standards. The string is shorter than the other tampons I am used to, and this scared me. (I have a silly fear of it getting stuck. lol) It also didn't keep it's 'form', it really just looks like home made piece of cotton on a string. Not for me. ]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2015 12:07:08 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/23525/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/23525/ Firstly, my package arrived super fast. So loads of love to you girls over at BB. Secondly, I liked the packaging. Pretty and girly, making it a little more bearable having to go through periods every month. I have always loved using tampons. They are just so much more effective than pads. Tampax was the first ones I ever tried too, as those were the ones my mom used. But they had a problem then, and it is the same problem I have with them now. I do love the new compak version - they are way more discreet to carry around, especially if you are on your way to the loo and don't have a pocket. And the applicator defs makes it easier to use. So big thumbs up there. But my problems are the following: Way too much packaging for such a small thing. And you use so many, imagine how the papers and applicators pile up each month! They just don't expand the way other tampons do. Yes they are absorbent, but instead of expanding width ways to sit tightly inside you, these still expand length ways. Which means that every time I used one, it leaked. As opposed to other brands I've tried that expand width ways. It also didn't matter if I used the size I am supposed to, or a bigger one. And yes, I did change it every 4 or 5 hours as they say on the packaging. This meant that I couldn't sleep with them and had to use another brand at night. So in general, I was NOT happy with them. The reason I use tampons is to not have to worry about anything leaking or making me uncomfortable. So these are at the bottom of my list. ]]> Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:16:17 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22695/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22695/ So, I've never really liked tampons very much. I didn't find them that comfortable at all and they are generally a lot more expensive than pads. I figured, why waste money one something I didn't get to choose that happens to me each month. I did, however understand, that sometimes tampons are just more convenient for certain outfits and occasions, so when I saw an opportunity to review the Tampax tampons, I was like, why not. Firstly, they arrived super fast, so shout-out to Beauty Bulletin and the courier company for crazy fast delivery. Secondly, the packaging of how each tampon is wrapped, cute! I seriously does look like sweets! My dad walked into my room and poked one, and was like, "are these sweets," to which I replied, "no dad, they're tampons." His face slightly paled and he left the room. Shame. I'm not one to be fooled by packaging, as it is usually a waste considering the world's environmental stance right now, but the packaging on the individual tampons is really great, because you can throw them in a jacket pocket, hand bag, pencil case, without it looking obvious that it is in fact a tampon. The actual applicator is a cool concept and all, but I'm honestly not convinced that it is necessary. It is a waste of plastic. Now I don't want to sound like a crazy environmentalist, but the applicator is thrown away immediately after use and that is it. Yes, I suppose it could be recycled, but how many people in South Africa actually recycle? I know the point of reviewing the product was not necessarily looking at materials used, but I think it is something we should consider. I've read the previous applicator was cardboard, is this not a better concept considering it can be recycled, or at least broken down naturally? Moving on to effectiveness of Tampax. The product itself worked wonderfully. Great absorption and relatively comfortable. So that was a hit. Would I recommend Tampax? Yes and no. Yes, because the product works well and the packaging is nice and discreet. No, because I'm just not sold on the idea of all the embodied energy involved in manufacturing plastic applicators. Everyone to their own opinion, however I have noticed that the beauty world is becoming more conscious of the environment, which is pretty cool for the future. ]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2015 20:22:01 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22694/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22694/ Tampax gives you the ability to be yourself and not worrying about that time of the month. You can go about living your life freely. Amazing product.

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. ]]> Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:25:01 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22546/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22546/ Thank you for the opportunity to try this product. I've always used Tampax but in recent years I thought I'd give some of the other brands a try. Needless to say I found many of them wanting and then stopped using tampons altogether. But the new Tampax has restored my faith in this product. I love the packaging as it's not obvious at first glance what it is. It's easy to use (always a plus) and I am happy with the price (I have since bought more). I also recommended it to my young nieces. ]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:26:09 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22545/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22545/ Thank you for the opportunity to try 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 :) ]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2015 05:46:52 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22533/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22533/ I have been telling my friends for a while now that I really want to start using tampons, so you can imagine how excited I was when I received my very own packet of Tampax from BB (so many firsts with BB). Unfortunately Mother Nature came a little late this month but finally I was able to put the tampons to the test. Firstly the package?? How adorable is that? There are two packets of tampons inside, regular-for a light to medium flow and super-For a medium to heavy flow. Now my period this month decided to be friendlier so I only used the regular tampons. At first I have to admit I was a bit scared so I read the leaflet found inside plenty times before inserting the tampon and...YES I’m now an official tampon user, tampax is so comfortable after a while I forgot I even have them on. I set an alarm to remind me of when I have to change it...I tend to forget easily. However when I go to sleep I used a sanitary towel as I sleep more than 8 hours sometimes. Haven’t tried Tampax?? What are you waiting for? Try it and never go back to those huge uncomfortable sanitary towels. Xoxo to you beauties. ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2015 14:25:22 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22532/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22532/ Very nicely packaged product and funky colours. I love the fact that is compact and handbag size the only problem is the appilcator does not release much of the tampon to be inserted. I found it difficult to use as I am not too comfortable inserting too much of the appilcator. When I did try it also did not release the tampon so when I pulled it out the tampon was still attached to the applicator. ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2015 14:09:21 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22511/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22511/ I love it..tampax are the best tampons that i have used so far thanks again for choosing me to review this product. im definetly gonna buy more of them. thank you. ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2015 07:18:25 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22503/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22503/ Tampax Compak gives me freedom to do the things I want to do even at that time of the month.I particularly enjoyed the discreetness of the product, the packaging is so ingenious, no embarrassment whatsoever if you spilled the contents of your handbag, or when you want to dispose of the applicator.I have used tampons for as long as I can remember but never the ones with an applicator so it did feel kind of like the first time when using them.The diagram/instructions had me a bit confused, so I decided to pretend I was using my finger like I did before.Needless to say, it didn't go to well trying to remove the applicator,on the second use i tried again.Once the tampon was in place there was a pop sound and the applicator can out hassle free.I felt like Superwoman! I thoroughly enjoyed using the product and now I look forward to my periods because I know am FREE! ]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2015 11:33:19 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22501/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22501/ 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. ]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2015 07:33:57 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22417/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22417/ I received my parcel a month ago an I did get a chance to try the tampax compak and it was very comfortable and very easy to use.

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!!! ]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2015 09:31:30 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22320/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22320/ I have only once in my life used tampons with applicators before testing Tampax Compact, and not sure whether I will again. I struggled to get the applicator to work, it was as if the pull out part was stuck and I had to go so far as to use my teeth to get it open. Using my teeth on a tampon is not my kind of fun.. Furthermore, the tampon did not "blow up" as much as my normal tampons does, it went in as a long and thin tampon and came out as such. I felt that I had to change it more often to prevent it from bleeding through. On the positive side though, it is way better than the old cardboard like applicators, and once I got the hang of it, it was easy to use, just not efficient enough for me. ]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2015 09:28:13 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22318/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22318/ 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 ]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2015 09:24:33 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22314/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22314/ I received my package of tampax compact to try out a while back, and eventually that time of the month arrived. I don't use tampons much, and when i do i add another layer of protection just to make sure that there are no leaks. With tampax compact i didn't have to do that. They fit snuggly, and were comfortable. I'm now moving away from pads and definitely using tampax compact. absolutely love them.

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. ]]> Wed, 25 Mar 2015 05:42:44 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22101/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22101/ I received the product a few months ago a little after I needed them so I had to wait some time before I could use them. I was super excited! The packaging is great, and the individually wrapped tampons are so inconspicuous- just like i like them. The applicator is great and small and easy to use. The tampons themselves are smooth and feel great - because I could not feel them at all, The only problem I had was absorbency is terrible! I had a regular and super pack and both were not of any use to me after day 1. I have a particularly heavy flow on day 2-3. I did not last past 30 min with the one tampon. I really wanted to love this product. With all my heart, I wanted to, but essentially, I need a tampon that absorbs and keeps me comfortable, more than one I can carry in my bag with ease. :( Its a Nay from me. ]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2015 09:52:40 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22096/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22096/ 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. ]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:37:24 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22093/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22093/ Wow, I love this! 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.

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! ]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2015 14:04:10 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22035/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22035/ 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. Check out my video review... ]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2015 10:28:09 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22017/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22017/ 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. ]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2015 15:07:25 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22016/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22016/ 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 :) ]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2015 14:09:48 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22015/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/22015/ 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 ]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2015 11:27:45 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21994/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21994/ This must be the holy grail when it comes to periods not only are the tampons very discreet they are easy to use and fit perfectly on any body type.and rest assured they are reliable and let you get on with the rest of your day, the applicator is also amazing easy and quick to use just in seconds you are sorted. Must say I love...love this product and I give it two thumbs up. ]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:43:25 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21984/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21984/ Thank-you for the opportunity to review this amazing product! I have never used tampons in my life and I can now safely say that I am over this fear!! I gave a few tampons to m friends to try out, each of them have various flows ranging from light flow to a heavy flow. I got amazing feedback. They are super comfortable, easy to use, HIGHLY effective and are also great for nose bleeds! :'-) I love the discreet packaging. No ine would even be able to guess what it is. It looks like a toffee :-) Love, love, love this product!!

I am happy to say, that I absolute LOVE this product. It is not only effective, and easy to use, but it is also nicely wrapped. Being a mom of 4, and having young ones in my purse ever so often...I have to say the packaging really helps. I also have a bad habit of leaving my bag open....so anyone walking past can see what's inside....TAMPAX has really saved me from a few embarrassing moments. Using TAMPAX is also very easy, and i love the applicator..... I am happy to say, that I have now switched...my uncomfortable monthly cycle has now become one of my more special me moments....

The packaging is very neat and the actual paper is very cute and discreet anyone would think im carrying around candy lol. However on my first day i attempted to use it was not successful i had to remove it. It was my first time using a tampon with a applicator. I then read the instructions again and attempted it for the second time and i was still unsuccessful ended up removing it on my third attempt i finally got it. After using it for 3 days i dont think tampax is for me i found it to be too much of a hassle However i found the tampon to be of very high quality and would recommend it to those looking at quality. ]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:53:48 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21967/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21967/ 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. ]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:58:14 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21964/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21964/ 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. If you are a tampon user, you will love this product:) ]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:37:41 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21962/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21962/ Firstly a little about myself, I have a light to medium flow and only use applicator tampons. I have tried numerous of brands yet I always turn back to Lil-lets. After hearing about Tampax Compak review club I decided to give this new innovation a try, First impression I loved the actual size of the neatly wrapped applicator, was easy to secretly carry to the ladies room. Even though I have used applicators for a number of years I still read the instruction leaflet and inserted as stated. Within an hour or so I felt extremely uncomfortable as though the tampon had not inserted properly so decided to remove it, upon removing it was uncomfortable due to the tampon having met it’s full purpose as well as my personal opinion that the tampon expands long ways and not side ways made the removal even more so uncomfortable, and actually quite painful. So first experience was unsuccessful, so I decided to attempt again, and not long after I experienced the same uncomfortable feeling it was although the tampon was moving “down” after this I decided to go to the shop and purchase my regular Lil-lets. So for me personally I am not in favour of Tampax Compak and also prefer that the swelling outwards (Lil-lets) instead of longwards(Tampax) and strongly believe this for me is why Tampax does not win my vote. ]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:35:47 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21959/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21959/ I was so excited when i got chosen to review the Tampx Compak & I recently got to try it out. I was quite impressed. It was also my first time using a tampon with an applicator & i must say was much more easier to use than i thought. So thank you for the opportunity, Tampax Compak will definitely be on my shopping list this month! ]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:17:26 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21953/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21953/ It took me 7 years to get myself to try out tampons and up until recently they haven't been very comfortable :/ but tampax really helped! The applicator really helps and makes its so much easie, and also more hygienic! The wrapper is discrete and looks more like a sweet than a tampon! #winning ]]> Sun, 15 Mar 2015 17:52:23 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21917/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21917/ So here we go that dreaded time of the month when you feel like you can’t do anything exciting or adventures. You just want to sit at home be lazy, but not with Tampax Applicator Tampons really I am impressed. First of all I am a new user to the Tampons game so this is my time experiences using the applicator versions of any Tampon brand out there, and to my surprise I really enjoyed the Tampax compacts they are so discreet easy to hide away and not feel embarrassed when or if it falls out of your handbag. I know we have all had one of those moments a time or two. So to start off I received two versions of the Tampax: • Normal • Super As for size there was not much difference at all they almost looked exactly the same, I loved the packaging in the colours matching the type of flow you have. This makes it so easy to grab the right one of your bag. Overall I am very happy to have tried the Tampax Tampons they have truly changed me over and will continue to use Tampax from now on. Happy BB user ? ]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 09:07:31 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21911/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21911/ 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. ]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 07:52:07 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21880/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21880/ Its that time of the month again... I guess we all don't really look forward to the red robot however I always prepare myself for the worst. Like having my toiletry bag packed with all the necessary and Thanks to Beauty Bulletin I tried and tested the Tampax Compak Tampons :) The packaging was so cute when it arrived and as I opened up the pack there were two boxes, one green and the other yellow with flowers hmmmm! These tampons are very easy to use as the pack comes along with guide lines. The applicator makes the insertion so much easier as it simply glides in with a little push. The tampon will then be pushed out of the mold of the applicator which means its less messy and when its comfortably inserted all you have to do is remove the applicator :) and you done. SIMPLE and CLEAN !! Its small enough to fit in your purse or bag and great for travelling. It fits well and I feel confident wearing the Tampon when Im out and about. Will recommend this to all ages :) Thank You! ]]> Thu, 12 Mar 2015 05:28:18 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21854/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21854/ I was so happy to be selected to be one of the reviewers for this product...yay for me free tampons for atleast the next to months. I thought the tampons were nicely wrapped but perhaps the colours would appeal more to teenagers though. Then I patiently waited for the arrival of aunty-flow. When my period started I was surprisingly happy as it was time to try something new. And so I did...nice soft tip, smoother glide but that was it. The actual tampons are for me underwhelming, the next few times I struggled to insert then and I find having to twist them for better insertion quiet redundant. I believe there is much room for improvement and consequently I'm not motivated to change my current brand of tampon. ]]> Tue, 10 Mar 2015 15:18:09 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21852/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21852/ I travel to see my other half once a month! What a pleasure to not have awkward looking wrappers in my bag and not having to worry about where to pack Tampax. It fits in everywhere :) I found the Tampax tampons to be efficient and effective in providing me with less things to worry about during that time of the month. I could do all the tourist things in CT, without having to worry about the dreaded time of the month. I will definitely recommend it to other girls! ]]> Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:58:52 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21850/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21850/ I was introduced to tampons after a very long time as after having children everything changes. I found the packaging colourful and bright. The individual tampons and applicators where something new to me as I never used tampons with applicators before. I found the Tampax tampons to be efficient and effective in providing me with less things to worry about during that time of the month. I even wore a white dress whilst experiencing my monthlys and was not afraid of having to find a red spot after sitting anywhere. This is a great product and price wise it is very much in Line with other products that are similar. But one downfall that I think should be mentioned is that a box with a mix of Absorbent strengths should be sold as not always only one strength is used during the duration of a menstrual cycle and therefore having to buy different Absorbent strengths of Tampax tampons for the month will not be cost effective. So with this in mind the usual market of average earning woman from age 16-26 won't be able afford two to three boxes for variety of absorbent strengths every month. But over all, the product is great and provides value for money spent. it provided myself with great confidence once again, In wearing figure hugging or white clothes . Will recommend it to others. ]]> Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:42:42 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21842/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21842/ Not taking anything away from my go brand Lil-lets, I was glad I was given Tampex Compak to try out. Firstly the wrapping is not a give away as to what is inside. It looks like a sweet wrapper for goodness sake meaning no more awkward moments, unless someone asks for a sweet lol. The product on its own is real easy to use and is very comfortable and you don't feel it once it's inserted. I never used applicators before that was a first for me and i genuinely don't mind it. I will definitely be using it again, thanx to BB for introducing me to it. ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:41:34 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21841/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21841/ Tampax Compak really saved me from having to feel uncomfortable on an extremely important day....the day of my best friend's wedding. I love the fact that the individual packaging looks like a sweet wrapper, so one never has to feel awkward. The feel and fit was something I was quite surprised by as I honestly never felt it, nor did I have any leak throughout my time of the month. I'm not a "tampon girl", however, I'd highly recommend it to those who prefer sanitary towels but get a unwelcoming surprise right before a special occasion - whether it be a wedding, going clubbing, or a romantic date where you want to wear that super sexy, special dress. This is when I'll definitely opt to use Tampax... Thank you Tampax and BB - you are awesome!! *P.S. - Please check out my lil video :) ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:59:28 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21840/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21840/ 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! ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:13:58 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21839/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21839/ My experience was super! It was easy and very comfortable....had absolutely no hassles whatsoever . will definitely be purchasing on a monthly bases....Tampax Kompak took great care of me....although i always opt to wear a sanitary pad for that extra protection against accidents....with tampax kompak there was no need at all! Thank you for the opportunity! ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 12:46:36 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21783/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21783/ Tampax Compak 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! BB my all day home :) ]]> Fri, 06 Mar 2015 10:59:09 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21781/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21781/ I used Tampax applicator tampons regurally before but i had to change because i was just not happy with the overal product-unfortunately, i dont have a great review and i doubt i will be going back to Tampax. i must admit- i love the new packaging- i think tampax has really come-up with a great innovation with regards to the compack pack- it is so easy to carry around and just in case a tampon falls on the ground in public- the cool packaging saves any girl the embarrassment- because it looks like a sweet or any delicious candy-'if they only knew what it really is, lol'. Honestly, i am not happy about the design of the actual tampon, i feel it does not 'fill' as other tampons such a Lillets does, once it opens or absorbs the liquid, it becomes flatish and spreads. if you look at the design of the lillet- it is rounded and as it absorbs, it fills up growing in width of the circle offering better protection. Also i dont like the feeling of the Tampax tampon, it just feels of low quality- after all the effort that goes into the packaging- i think Tampax should rather focus on the actual tampon quality. i cant help but compare to the Lillets, i just feel the Tampax is sub-grade- it is not a well rounded and finished product as Lil'lets or Kotex. Thank you Beauty Bulletin for the opportunity to review the product- i hope Tampax developers pay attention to the reviews, with improvements to the overall quality and design of the actual tampon- they will have a great product. ]]> Fri, 06 Mar 2015 10:50:05 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21771/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21771/ 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. ]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2015 11:30:18 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21770/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21770/ 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 :) ]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2015 11:19:30 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21767/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21767/ I usually don't like applicator tampons. But the Tampax Compak is great. Makes it more comfortable than other applicator tampons. Loved it and will continue buying them. Thanks ]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:14:54 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21751/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21751/ Having tried a tampon three years ago and being totally put off the uncomfortable nature of them, I was a bit apprehensive when I received my Tampak box. Like always, I read the pamphlet from cover to cover in the hope of gaining confidence, and when I opened to look at the packaging I was quite pleased to see how pretty they were individually wrapped. Pretty in pink. After some experimenting with my gift, I have a new outlook and a changed perception of tampons. Tampak have managed to create a product that is user friendly, so to speak, lol. I felt confident and fresh with my new found gift. Faith in tampons restored :-) I no longer dread "that time of the month" where i have to carry around old fashioned pads. I have a cute little pink wrapper that can easily be hidden in my bag, purse or pocket. Thanks so much for all convenience! ]]> Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:51:40 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21743/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21743/ First of all, thank you SO much BB for allowing me to review this product - Tampak Compak (Regular and Super mixed pack). As always, I am SO grateful to get new products to try and test :) For over 10 years I've been using Lil-lets tampons, without the applicator. But I was very excited to try something new. However, I will always be 100% honest in my reviews and I have to admit that I am not a fan of these tampons. As with everything though, there are pros and cons. Pros: - The packaging is pretty, discreet and I really liked the colours! - I love what the applicator is made of, it had a nice feel to it and looked appealing too (for what it is ;) ) - Ease of use (they were very easy to use and insert). Cons: - When I pulled it out, it was very long and "stringy". It had completely lost it's shape and looked quite frightening (I managed to find a picture which depicted this - see attached). - It didn't absorb as much as my current tampon does. It's because of the cons that I won't be buying these after I've used up this pack. I truly don't believe that they are more effective (or even equal to) my current brand. In conclusion: Tampak, you got it right with the packaging and applicator, but you need to work on your actual tampon quality before you win me over ;) ]]> Mon, 02 Mar 2015 11:59:44 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21722/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21722/ 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. ]]> Fri, 27 Feb 2015 13:33:46 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21721/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21721/ 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. ]]> Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:12:36 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21719/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21719/ 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 ]]> Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:29:36 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21716/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21716/ 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! ]]> Fri, 27 Feb 2015 08:36:15 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21699/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21699/ 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... ]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:51:55 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21690/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21690/ I loved it, its so discreet and effective. I loved the packaging it's so colourful and it looks like a sweet. It's so high on absorbency and made be be able to go to the beach and have fun with my husband and my boys. Thank you Tampax for such a great product. ]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:59:44 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21683/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21683/ 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! ]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:45:22 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21663/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21663/ 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!!! ]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 12:45:40 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21661/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21661/ yes ]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 12:43:20 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21658/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21658/ 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. ]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 12:37:20 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21640/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21640/ Could not wait for it to be that time of the month for me to try out the new tampax compak.

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. :) ]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 11:45:07 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21626/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21626/ I enjoyed using the new Tampax compak. I like how easy it to hide in your purse and that I don't have to feel uncomfortable if someone saw them. It was super effective at it's job, and like how smooth the applicators are. Made my "off-days" much easier to handle.

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 . ]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:07:33 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21482/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21482/ I use to use tampax pearl before and still found it big to take out of my bag and insert into my pocket cause when a work i dont still wanna take my bag with me to the ladies... Then beauty bulletin sent me two pack of tampax compax one pack of light flow and one pack of heavy flow...

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.

I had an idea of how to use applicator tampons but I read through the instructions just in case. All I can say is WOW! I didn't even know I was using an applicator. It was so simple and easy to use, I wasn't even scared to use it a second time. The tampon itself is so soft and comfortable, you don't even feel that discomfort of when you're nearing the end of your period. I'm one of those girls who was never able to sleep through the entire night with only a tampon on, other wise it'd leak. Not with Tampax Compak. I woke up ans I was totally dry and completely satisfied with the quality I was getting. I am very impressed! ]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2015 07:12:16 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21390/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21390/ Hi BB! To be honest.... I love the idea of the Tampax Compak and I LOVE the applicator as it is soft, however, I don't the actual tampon itself. It does not insert deep enough and I had to either take it out and put it a new one or manually push it in. The tampon itself is also not as soft as the normal l (i.e. non applicator) tampons I have been using, so the pulling it out part was a bit unpleasant for me. It just does not feel at all like a non applicator tampon. It almost gave me the feeling that it was longer as well and did not absorb as much. Mostly though, the main problem for me was that it does not go in deep enough - which defeats the whole purpose of having an applicator. I love the idea of the cute wrapper and the soft plastic, however, I don't think I will be purchasing this in the future unless they change feel and adjust the applicator. Thank you for letting me test this product! x ]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:13:50 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21381/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21381/ Thus is my Month 2 review. Í must say, thus time around I felt the smooooooooothness of the applicator. I'm sure it was because I was not as nervous as the last time. All I could think of then was not to hurt my intimate part with "this plastic thing" As a first time applicator user, I am definitely hooked. ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 22:43:33 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21359/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21359/ I have to divulge: I am not a regular applicator tampon user. But here my review goes - and why I will be sticking with non applicators. The first two I tried were disastrous.... I didn’t read the instructions as I was I a hurry and thought to myself... I am a smart girl... how hard can it be... Well turns out, reading the instructions is a very good idea... trust me! So this month I tried them again and decided that they are not bad at all. The tampon itself is not as rigid as non applicator ones which allows it to absorb from the moment its inserted. This is good for heavy flow! The wrapper is hygienic, colourful & cute, love it! Wont say it looks like a candy but it certainly doesn’t necessarily scream "look at me, I'm a tampon" My problem comes with the applicator itself... Its nice thin plastic so its not an uncomfortable process BUT Women’s bodies are not a one size fits all. I found that if I use the applicator as instructed the tampon does not get deposited deep enough. I then had to manually adjust. The applicator if not gripped far enough away from your body will pinch you.... not pleasant. So with me the issue is that the applicator is just too short. But it would probably work great for other ladies! I'll use the rest of the pack I got but doubt I would buy again. I am however glad I got the opportunity to test it because now I know ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 10:54:27 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21358/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21358/ 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. ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 10:38:32 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21347/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21347/ 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 ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 08:24:01 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21339/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21339/ Amazing feel. Very different from other brands used before. Quality feels good. No issues experienced with absorbency or long threads etc. ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 07:05:29 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21336/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21336/ 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. ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 00:37:59 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21320/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21320/ I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of the lucky few to try out the new Tampax Compak. Firstly the packaging with it different color variations and with it vibrant colors caught my eye, The product is individually wrapped so you know that its 100% safe and hygenic. Its comfortable to use with its easy instruction booklet. I love it and would recommend it over and over again ,,,, Definitely going to be on my shopping list .,... Thank Tampax.... ]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:28:29 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21305/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21305/ Yes that's exactly how I felt when I tried to apply the Tampax compax tampons, Mission: apply tampon. All that was missing was a laboratory coat and a suitcase, Lol! Well that's how I felt when reading the instructions and doing the practical side of things. I was a bit skeptical about the applicater, worried if I will get it right and what if the whole thing gets stuck inside. Now that would have been a mission failure. With the easy to read instructions I managed to put on my grown up girl panties on and went on with my mission. I felt like Dexter! I assumed my position with my knees bent and feet apart and in just a few seconds the mission was accomplished. The tampon was safely placed and it felt like nothing was in there. I had to check if the string was still in view a couple of times before doing my happy girl dance (you don't want to see that, Lol!) I think with the presence of the applicator it makes things seem like a top mission (if you know what I mean) even if you are used to putting on a normal tampon. But what makes the tampax compak tampons different is that it is more hygienic when applying it. When a mission is a success why not teach your girlfriend. Yes that's what I eventually had to do with my girlfriend who was a first time user of tampons. All I said was take a deep breath and relax and handed her the leaflet (nope I wasn't going to do it for her). She found it easier to stand with one leg on the toilet seat and with my motivation shouting "relax and take a few deep breaths" from the other side of the door. Well that was the best I could do:-) Seconds later she opened the door saying, "mission completed. " I asked her if she feels anything and she replied, "am I suppose to feel something? " Right then I knew that mission: apply tampon and mission code: Tampax Compak (TC) was successful! You should see how we throw each other the tampons with its easy and discreet packaging when one of us has run out. Totally making that time of the month easier:-) Sorry guys couldn't send you a video. It was a top secret mission:-))) ]]> Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:48:23 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21252/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21252/ Hi guys So I gave the Tampax-compak a try and boy was I impressed. I've never used applicator tampons before because the size of the box just seems so huge. I was presently surprised when I received my package from beauty bulletin. I anxiously waited so that I could give it a try and I have to say it was such an amazing experience. It is easy to use and makes using and carrying it around so much more convenient. Never going back to non-applicator tampons. Tampax-compak will definitely be in my shopping cart every month. Thanks beauty bulletin. ]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:21:55 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21246/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21246/ 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? ]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2015 06:49:27 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21233/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21233/ 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.

After a trial with the *drum roll please* Tampax Compak (ooooooooo ahhhhhh) i found myself marching straight through my local grocery store and automatically reaching for it and heavn knows i'll never look back! totally fab and effective, easy to use, comfy and takes a blah out of the dreaded period- defiantly give theses babies a try xx ]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:53:29 +0000 https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21218/ https://www.beautybulletin.com/tampax-compak/discussions/21218/ When I received the box of tampons I was excited at the size of the tampons with the applicators. I gave up on using tampons with applicators very early on as they were big, bulky & very noticeable when you had to make a quick dash to the bathroom. These were a pleasant surprise - they were small enough to fit easily into my purse & then my hand when I needed to go use them. I really liked the plastic applicator - it went in easily with no discomfort & I loved the fact that it was hygienic & comfortable. The only part I wasn't happy with was when I had to remove it. It had gone long & I feared it would not all come out when I pulled! It seemed like some would be left behind as it had almost 'separated' inside me. This happened with every tampon I used. With the other tampons I use, they retain their shape & stay quite solid which makes me a lot more confident that they are holding all they can & they will not fall apart inside me. Overall though I was happy with this product, & will most probably give them another try later on in the year :) ]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2015 09:01:36 +0000
