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 ;)

This is a very good review! And yes, I dont really like these tampons with the applicator. To me personally its as if it has less 'soaking power' than that without the applicator.

Most honest review so far, was starting to think that something was wrong with me because these tampons are honestly not all that.

I prefer the non-applicator. It actually swells up way more than the one with the applicator.

In reply to an earlier comment Yeah, I am not the biggest fan of applicators, I find them to be redundant.
