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:)

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

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

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 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!!!

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.

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.

I've worn a tampon since I was 13 years old. I was extremely active as a child - dancing, athletics, volleyball and netball. There was never time to not want to participate. I love the freedom that Tampax has always given me. The confidence to carry on living no matter what time of the month it is!

Personally, I Give a big yes to applicator tampons. And Tampax Compak just made things so much more easier, by introducing and making the applicator half the size of other huge applicators. This is a bonus, simply because us ladies no longer have to squish and squash our applicator tampons into smaller sized makeup bags, or work bags, when its that time of the month ;-)
also, we can now, with confidence let our mini sized tampax applicator do all the work ,with short and sweet guiding the tampon into just the right position, so that means no uncomfortness! just HAPPINESS!
There is a size for every lady and every kinda flow under the sun: Lites, Regular, Super and Super Plus.
Its available from Clicks and priced between R34.99 - R39.99 which is so affordable! ;-)
p.s: what I love most is that Tampax tampons retains its shape, even when the tampon has been used and is full, unlike some other brands, which causes the tampons to go all wiggly.. ;-)
go on girls, make that time of the month, an even better time of the month ;-))

I always buy the Tampax Compak multipack since I experience heavy flows in the first day of my periods and thereafter medium to light flows. This combo pack is so convenient and helpful that I don't need to buy two separate boxes. When I'm on my periods my gym, swimming and jogging is never interrupted because I can trust my Tampax. It is leak-free and super absorbent, I am free to do any activity with confident.

I've always been super scared of Tampons, until I tried the new Tampax Compak.
I much prefer the plastic rather than that old cardboard! They are so much easier and way more convenient.
Plus, they are the perfect size!
I'm such a water baby, especially in summer and let's be honest, the last thing anyone wants to do when its that time off the month is hang around in a bikini or the water, NOW YOU CAN!

Wish I knew about these when I first got my period, it makes that time of the month not so dreadful! These work wonders, even with a heavy flow.. It literally is so comfortable and you completely forget that you have your period, you feel like you can conquer anything, even with the PMS! So easy and hygienic to apply with the applicator, anyone can use it! Id say they need to be changed at least every 5 hours, and just to be safe, still wear a panty liner, just in case it leaks on the first few days..

I too am another extremely happy and excited customer with these Tampax Compak.
Growing up, Tampax had always been my tampon of choice however I always found the long applicator part, a bit disturbing...
Trying to pull this long applicator out of your hand bag whilst in company, can be rather embarrassing. Yes, sometimes one can opt to take their handbag too the loo but people may just assume that she it's taking her handbag to the loo because she is on her period and needs a change...its just one of those weird insecurities I have(sorry).
Also, I feel It's like a mom having to take her nappy bag along when changing a baby's nappy...this may sound weird, but it's why I hate taking my handbag the loo, lol.
Growing up around 2brothers, being discrete about "when aunty Suzie comes to visit" or the red robot has become a big issue for me that's why I love love these applicator tampons...
1)I love the funky colors of the plastic applicator, it's just too cute n fun...
2) I love how short the applicator is and one and quickly slip from hand into pocket without anyone noticing...
3) the small packaging is versatile enough to fit into a small purse or clutch allowing for us ladies to have protection on us at all times, even when goin out dancing or a fancy do...
4) it is designed by a trusted brand, Tampax, where u can be assured that there will be no spills leakage.
5) The price of these tampons are very competitive, coming in at under R40.
I'm honestly very chuffed about this Tampax Compak range with its groovy coloured applicator...

My “time of the Month” before I was introduced to Tampax applicator tampons was more like a five day detention in hell. I couldn't survive this week without a cocktail of my prescribed painkillers, to add insult to injury, sanitary pads irritated my skin, making me more grumpy, physically uncomfortable and a bit insecure. The night time was the worst, I could not even dream of sleeping in any other bed, but my own and on top of a towel, because as a restless sleeper, I could not find a pad that could provide me with infallible protection.
I discovered Tampax tampons a couple of years back after seeing tubes wrapped in pretty paper in more than one of my friend's toiletry bags. Before then I have never seen a cardboard applicator tampon and I had a morbid fear of the non-applicator ones. After my friends broke down the difference between two types of tampons and I read up on them, I was curious enough to give the Tampax Cardboard Applicator tampons a try and I've never looked back until I upgraded to the Tampax Compak.
The Tampax Compak is less bulky which makes it easy to discreetly stash into a pocket or into a clutch handbag. It is also smoother and more comfortable to use while it still provides the same protection of a built-in protective skirt that made me feel secure with Tampax tampons. Now, all have to worry about every month is making sure that I have enough prescription pills and Tampax Compak tampons. My "time of the Month" no longer feels like a visit to purgatory, it may never be a stroll in the garden of Eden, but I am comforted in knowing that I have protection that will not fail me, night or day.

When i saw this i thought, "What! Do people really want to know about that? " But, What an awesome opportunity for us to actually see what each of us experience in our everyday lives & to know just how awesome we are for being women and enduring whatever life throws at us!
My family love spontaneous, overnight camping trips in the December holidays. We decided to go to Ifafa on Duban's South coast which has camping faciities as well as a tidal pool and chlorine pool. On the day of our arrival, Lo & Behold, Suze decided to pay me a visit, You can just imagine how dissappointed i was as i always pack sanitary pads whether or not i have a period but did not even think that this was going to happen to me, not on the weekend we choose to go camping, but as all of you know, this can happen anywhere, anytime with no warnings. Thankfully, my aunt suggested trying the Tampax compak, I must admit it was no easy task but when i got it on, it was unbelievably comfortable to wear that sometimes i even forgot i was wearing it! I had a blast the whole weekend & had lovely memories with my family, of course if it was'nt for Tampax i probably would'nt have! Thank you Tampax :)

Who ever came with the tampons idea was a genius. I have been using the Tampax tempons since I was a teenager at high school. Since then I have never look back. My problem was the cardboard applicator because it was a mission to put it in. This new plastic applicator is perfect , and the multi pack is a great idea since I can chance from light to heavy anytime without buying two boxes which makes me save money . I have a loop so first day is light flow and next two days is a heavy flow so to me this is ideal. I love my white bed sheets so Tampax has made it possible for me to sleep on my white bedding even when the robot is red

As someone who is always outdoors and on the move I always have a hard time finding places to stash my girly goods without any of the boys finding it. Not only did I find the Tampax Compak easy to use, the packaging was just cute and small enough for me to hide easily.
Here's a few places I hid them during a camping trip.

Super absorbent and excellent, it is amazing even when working out ,I didn't event have that uncomfortable and awkward feeling you generally get whilst using tampons when on your period. The plastic applicator made for an easy and smooth insertion and the tampon itself is small and so discreet it could be concealed easily . The additional information educated me about Toxic Shock Syndrome . Tampax made those special days feel as normal as any other day of the week and gave me that extra confidence .

When the package arrived at my home last month was a bit of a downer as I had just departed with mother nature. I was really keen on trying out something new for a change.
It has been a long wait and the excitement of "first time reviewer" got the best of me!
However I took a look at the whole packaging and the feel of a tampon applicator.
The plastic object send me cringing with worry of hurting myself at first as I have never used a tampon applicator before. I was also a bit sceptical about the look and feel of the tampon when taken out of the applicator. I thought of maybe a factory fault.
I am currently on day 3 and I must say pretty I'm sold at this whole applicator business.
It took about two frustrating tries in using the tampon applicator. Safe to say I am now a pro.
As a first time user of Tampax tampons , I am quite happy with the comfort and had no accidental leaks! There is no need to use a panty liner from now on.
I'd definitely recommend the new Tampax Compak tampons.

I was thrilled to receive Tampax Compak from Beauty Bulletin; the timing was perfect because my period arrived the very next day :) I love the packaging it's so bright and attractive; I was rather moody when I pulled the tampon out the box but the bright green wrapper uplifted my mood and made me eager to unwrap it and try it on. I love the fact that it's an applicator tampon; it makes it so much more easier to insert. The tampon is rather comfortable to use; I almost forgot that I was using a tampon! The quality is good and it is very absorbent and reliable. I love that it comes in a variety of thicknesses for different flows.

I am a young South African woman enjoying my life . I am a student full time and I enjoy the out doors a lot.. I always preferred using sanitary pads but because I surf and swim a lot tampons was always my last option to use... When I received my trial box I was quite impressed with the eye catching packaging????big ups to that!! Hehehehe! Okay back to the tampons, so I was saying because I surf and swim so much tampons came in handy but I wasn't to happy about using it because it is a messy thing to use... BUT now with the applicator it is so much better and easier honestly! I love it and I think I will continue using it!! I was so impressed with it that I told my sisters how easy it is to use tampons now.. So now they will be using it too. Thank you.. Have a good year beauty bulletin and everyone else???? toodles*

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?

I was chosen as part of the Tampax Compak review club. I have been using the same brand of tampons since my teens, so I was keen to try something new.
The packaging is super cute. The boxes can be stored in plain sight since they don't look like tampon boxes. The packaging of the tampons themselves are colour coded and could honestly be mistaken as candy wrappers or even packets of sugar.
This makes for no fuss when putting a few tampons in your handbag or pocket, if they fall out, no one will even know what they are.
I love the applicator on these tampons. They make for super easy and comfortable usage.So much better than the cardboard ones, which can be a bit ''clunky''.
Us girls have enough to deal with on a day to day basis, so whether your'e a mum, student or a career woman Tampax Compak is definitely a product that can make our lives just a little bit easier.

This is an absolutely fantastic product! I usually purchase applicator tampons because I am not a fan at all of the painful application using non-applicator tampons and having to always lug a tub of Vaseline with me to insert them. Using the new Tampax Compak was even better because besides the fact that they are so small and compact, the plastic casing works so much better than the awful paper/cardboard casing of normal applicator tampons. The tip doesn't bend or fold, so it didn't hurt my delicate inner bits at all. The absorbency is still amazing as always, so no compromise on quality there either. It is discreet, so I don't need to pop it up my long-sleeve top to hide the fact that I need to use the loo during my monthly cycle:) I could go about my business without worrying about a thing. I offered all my friends one to try and they loved it as well! I even converted two die hard non-applicator users to becoming loyal Compak users! A great product and I will not consider any other tampon.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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

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.

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.
