Playtex Simply Gentle Glide Tampons, Multipack (18ct Regular/18ct Super Absorbency), Fragrance-Free - 36ct

I’m a long-time user of Playtex Sport. I made the mistake of ordering these instead. The plunger is difficult to work and I have had to manually insert several of them (not easy). Would not repurchase!

These are among the very few tampons that work for me. I don't know why, but most tampons hurt as they expand. These don't. Plus, the applicator is also very easy for me to use.

Minimal leaks - great product

I have been using these tampons since the Reagan era (no joke!) and I really hope the Gentle Glide brand does not disappear in my reproductive lifetime. Comfortable and easy to use. Also available in a wide range of sizes. Which is good, because peri-menopause means that sometimes you take your pint of ice cream and graham crackers into the restroom and leave it looking like you played Mass Effect for an hour. A regular tampon isn't going to hide that! he price was a bit of a sticker shock at $14.04 (I usually snag them for around $8.99) However, it's not as painful as trying to get used to a new brand of tampon, or standing at the washer angrily trying to clean your third pair of underwear in a day. And giving up the fancy graham crackers for the store brand is worth it because lets face it, we all need the ice cream and graham crackers in this moment. Sacrifices must be made. Playtex highly recommended as a comfortable friend during these times of the month even if Gentle Glide doesn't make the cut for a new generation.

Unfortunately being a girl means bleeding once a month. Unless your uterus hates you and you bleeding the whole month. Do I like having to shove this up my who-who so I can adult for the day.... no but if I am going to do it these are the most comfortable ones to use.
