Good morning ladies

So we are all stuck with one thing that make us all wish we were men instead... hahaha. I hate that time of the month as I am always uncomfortable and always worry about 'leakage'.

So I tried the awesome sample that was sent to me (Thank you for that) and must say that I am very impressed. I did not feel uncomfortable or insecure once using Tampax. They are easy to insert and didn't even feel like I was wearing anything :)

I personally am not a fan of tampons and never have been, reason being that I found pain and discomfort in inserting them. Until Tampax Compak, it's so comfortable and easy to insert. I felt no discomfort throughout the whole day and thankfully had a pleasurable holiday on the beach even though it was that time of the month. Love this product.

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.

Works BEST for me... I love them they go in sooo easy and it doesn't hurt one bit!
And you don't even feel it... at all. Its like your not even on your period... its awesome

You forget about the drag of having your monthlies and enjoy life more
Having fun with out feeling like you have a surf board between your legs

Would recommend this for all girls on the go, surfers, runners any sports person actually any one, any age who still go through the monthly thing

We are free, free at last, now we can have fun without the constant reminder of that time of the month and just be more care free and relaxed

I was so happy to have been chosen as part of the Tampax Compak review club. I have been using the another brand of tampons for a long time, so I was looking forward to trying something new.
The plastic applicator is easy to use and much more comfortable than its cardboard counterparts.
The packaging is cute and you don't have to hide them cos they look like sweet wrappers.
The Tampon itself was not the best I've ever used. there was leaking and dirty underwear and needless to say I was not very impressed. Maybe it was the applicator, i don't know but I will be giving another fighting chance in the near future.

Hi guys!

I was excited to see how the Tampax Compak tampons match up against Lilets tampons as I have been using Lilets for years.
I really liked how small the Compak tampons were compared to other brands... they really are easy to hide or carry with you. I also found the normal size one to be very comfortable.
But when I wanted to use the larger size I was very disappointed unfortunately :-(
The tampon did something strange... I can't really described it but I took a photo of it to show you. I opened the one after the other and all of them did it (only the larger ones, not the regular ones). I am not sure if this is a defect and if it is supposed to do it, but I did not like it at all and could not wear it like that. What I also didn't like was the noise the wrapping makes... when us girls go to the bathroom to change our tampons we don't want the whole world to know what we are doing in there and to me it feels like the wrapping just makes to much noise when opening it... maybe that's just me.
So overall I like the size and feel of the regular but not the nasty surprise I got when I tried the larger one for heavier flows.

Yay for these sneaky little soldiers!

I’ve never been the biggest fan of tampons, but when my friend first introduced these to me from America, I couldn’t help but fall in love with them! Then when I heard they had hit our Western Shores, I couldn’t help but fall in love all over again!
They are ideal for girls like myself who hate lugging around giant handbags, or bags at all. They fit comfortably into the smaller zipper compartments of my handbag and into my purse.
I’ve always felt the cardboard tampons were a little gross and sometimes a little difficult to use. The new Tampax Compac, just feel more hygienic, they are super quick and easy to use and they don’t give that awkward feeling like you haven’t put it in correctly!
Love them and so glad to finally have them back!

Being a Lil-lets user, i have to admit that i found the Tampax tampons a bit uncomfortable. I felt the applicator was bulkier than the Lil-lets making it a bit more uncomfortable to insert. i also didn't like the material and the way it fanned out once inserted compared to the way the Lil-lets opens up. However it is absorbent and much better than using pads.

?Please note this post mind be a bit graphic for some of my readers if reading about how Someone deals with their period please feel free to not read any more. I know period can be a touchy subject for many of you women but it's a part of life we can't ignore.

I have always dreaded that time of the month and yes ladies by that time of the month I do mean my period .. Hormone's are crazy , I go on a feeding frenzy and not to mention numbness and odour.

I was on the pad of so many years but couldn't handle the grossness of it and discomfort of it.

I few years ago I ditched the unsexy pad and went onto tampons , being a first timer to tampons I honestly had no clue on what to get ! Regular ? Super? I had no idea what these words meant and what is best suited for me, my brains couldn't cope with these thoughts . I also tried so many brands and found that a lot of these brands didn't work for me , some were poor quality and didn't have an applicator which made inserting a bit of a problem and a messy situation.

I came across Tampax , I won't lie the applicator intrigued me and I wanted to try it out! What's what more brand of tampons to try out I thought hehe .

I also received Tampax in regular and super from beauty bulletin to review and to share my opinions about the product . With me having already used this tampons before but it easy for me to get on the bandwagon.

For you ladies who are embarrassed about periods like I am , nothing more embarrassing then carrying around a tampon in your handbag that everyone can notice, the Tampax wrappers literally looks like candy wrappers so no more feeling embarrassed be??cause no one will ever know it's really a tampon especially when you have a friend that's in need and don't want anyone to notice I am sure many of you have been on the receiving end and felt so embarrassed.

Let's talk applicator , I have yet to find a tampon that has an easy to use applicator like Tampax it doesn't hurt at all and slides in easily. I have always been worried about hurting myself with applicators but this one glides like butter .

What I like most is that you don't feel it at all so you can go about your day with no discomfort or pain because it won't feel like there's anything and no irritation which is a big concern.

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.

Tampax compak

The packaging is so bright you'd mistaken it for something sweet if you did know about it, eye catching and portable too that was my 1st impression.

I opened the box so eager to see this new plastic applicator. Wow, this is too great, it is so small it can fit anywhere you could ever imagine be it a bag, pencil case or even new sanitary pads cases. it fits in the palm of my hand as well. still wrapped in a nice colour wrap as if it were candy.
open the wrap there it was the plastic applicator! took 1 tampon out from the wrap, figured out how to actually use it without even reading the leaflet oh great no more pushing with a finger hahahaha who ever inverted it i'm quite sure SHE had had enough of it.
Easy to use, easy to insert and taking out too when it's time to take it out without even scratching yourself or feeling it for that matter.

With tampons you are at ease, you do not have to worry about having a blot in your clothes or being uncomfortable when it's that time of the month like sanitary pads. i can go anywhere be it a party, work, dinner or meeting knowing Tampax Compak is in control.

I must say i was so scared at first when i tried a tampon, had to many questions and worries after i saw my elder sister using it and had bought it secretly had to find out how it felt and how it worked since i hated periods that much worse the sanitary pad!

Beauties this is a must have in a very ladies bag.

It's affordable, can be purchased from many stores and does deliver.

This is my journey with Tampax Compak. :)

The plastic applicator is easy to use as it maintains its shape compared to other cardboard tampon applicators, however I did notice a bit of leakage compared to my other tampons.
Will however give it a second try.

The first time I've tried tampons was 8 years ago, and since then I've never went back to using pads, and I've been using tampax regular since then.. The applicator makes it so easy and hygienic and use.. What I love about Tampax tampons, you free dry and comfortable all day, of course you need to change the tampon every 4-5 hours.. Tampons really changed the period game for me, and every female dreads that time of the month, tampax makes it a whole lot easier for you, there's no fear of leaking or any myths that it hurts.. Thank you tampax for making me comfortable during times of discomfort :)

As a young woman that has so much to get through in 24 Hours.....I have secretly wished there was more hours in a day than there is. Now my my wish hardly ever indicating the possibility of coming true, I have then decided to do better and work better with my time.

With all the running around that comes with a lifestyle that is demanding, there is hardly a time to stop and hide when it is that time of the month. It is a time when a super product is in high demand and the world shows compassion. Well, the world will not stop, so best I get myself a good product to ease my journey.

So the little colourful boxes: in a lemon (yellow) colour and an apple green colour. They really go well with most of the summer outfits we ladies love to flaunt. The lemon (yellow) colour in the regular pack and the apple green for the heavier flow.
They come in colourful applicators just like the mother packs they are cozily put in. I have never seen applicators that are so colourful and attractive. So they had my full attention, now what about how they really work?

Day one started smoothly as the applicator was so easy to use. I was comfortable in inserting it and I hardly felt I had it inside of me as it rested well. As it began to fill, I could tell immediately due to the fact that it began moving down. I was not leaking at all though it was a very heavy day for me. As I was to remove it, I realized that the string is shorter than most tampon strings I have used before. This could work if you are dressing up in those micro outfits and want to be discreet. Yet you could have a problem in pulling it out if you build bigger. Yet it all depends on your feel. I examined it and behold, it was full capacity and I had no leakages? WOW! It also was easy to remove - just remember to check if the string is attached properly so that you are shocked at a time you need to check the inserted one.

I moved then towards the lemon friend as days went because the flow was lessening. It felt even easier .....well it is smaller. I thought it might slip out and fall because for a moment, I felt nothing but myself. Few times I had to remind myself that yes, it is inserted. Then I worried again if I will know when it fills and that I wont make a boo-boo with any leaks as it was just too petite. Guess what what? It warned me discreetly when it filled, it moved lower and I got the hint.

Ladies, I have loved this journey which I never know as to how howl it will last.
Get it from most stockist and pharmacies.

Using Tampax Compax has really made my life so incredibly easy. Not only are they discreet and compact they are so super comfortable. I often forget it is even that time of month :) I used to be so afraid of leakage that i would constantly check myself and get my friends to 'Check Me' which was code for please see that i haven't got that dreaded patch on my backside! I feel so confident knowing that I am taken care of by my Tampon. The plastic applicator is the most important aspect for me personally, i used to find that the cardboard applicators used to scratch me or bend so easily. I am so eternally grateful for my Tampax Compax!

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.

Soooo being a newbie to the Beauty Bulletin crew, I was really excited to find a package delivered for me yay and like many other reviewers, it came at the best time of the month.... Anyhoo, I'm also a Lil lets user and thought lets give it a go and was very happy with the product.

I also am not an applicator kinda gal but with that being said, the product was very easy to use, the only qualm I did have was the dangly bit where the string came out, it wasn't as " compak" as I thought as it would be... the colours where great which made everything a little more fun to work with.

Overall a great product!

Thanks :)

Thanks Tampax for this wonderful products, count me as 1 of your loyal customer from now onwards.

Tampax Compak definitely has a girl covered...with that I can agree wholeheartedly.

I found that "Aunty Rose" (My period) came to visit whilst travelling on a 16 hour drive from Johannesburg to Cape Town...by bus...

My biggest fear is always that the entire bus i staring at me whilst I remove my white bullet from my bag above the seats. What if it falls? Oh no

With Tampax compact I was pleasantly surprised by the packaging. It literally seemed like I was removing a sweet to nibble on from my over-head bag. So even if it fell down, I would pick it up with ease.

Loves:
- Well packaged
- Easy to distinguish which tampon to utilize depending on the flow
- Does what its supposed to do

Loaths:
- Not readily available at all retailers.

Overall this is an awesome product. I have changed my brand.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received these perfectly in time for me to try them - I'm not really a fan of applicators in general as I had tried the Tampax tampons with the cardboard applicator and I really didn't like it, so I never repurchased it BUT these I love! The plastic applicator is a dream to use - its just really comfortable, the plastic is high quality so it doesn't feel flimsy and cheap and I'm a fan of the fun colours which distinguish the two different flows.

Overall I will definitely repurchase these game changing tampons ?

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*

I received this product to test, I was supposed to do a video review and then realized my camera dissapeared! Shock shock horror.

We all hate that time of the month, but I have to say with Tampax it was a breeze. I could walk to the bathroom at work And no one even knew what I had in my hand as it so perfectly covered.

I have never before used an applicator tampon, but found this so easy to use. It goes in perfectly without the mess and the having to move it around so it doesn’t bother you. it was just put in, push the applicator, pull out and all done.

I do not use regular tampons as i always have a heavy flow from start to finish, so I would love it if I could buy Heavy only. My sister on the other hand loves getting the goodies i can’t use.

I have found a new favourite and I will stick to this always! Thanks for giving me a chance to test this.

I just received my Tampax Compak Multi pack from the beauty bulletin club to review....
When I opened the packaging I was delighted at the beautiful packaging, its hip ad funky. I usually look for the trendy packaging when shopping for anything and this will definitely catch my eye if I am doing my shopping.

I have to admit, I have never used an applicator before, and I was rather apprehensive. What I had seen before from other brands was huge contraptions, which looked like a prop used in a Fifty shades of Grey novel and it terrified me and put me off.
However when I used this, it was so easy to insert, no big drama, and it didn't hurt at all, as that is one of my biggest fears when it comes to using applicators.Also when removing, it was easy to, no mess, no fuss.
For first time users like myself, it has a wonderful packet insert that provides all the info on how to use the product.

I also found that when using tampons, i always have this fear that I cannot be as active as I want to be. I am a mum of two, and always running around and cleaning, and this was a delight to use, I felt confident and fresh.No pulling and tugging and checking my clothes, to check whether everything was still in place.

Not only is it easy to use, but also easy to store and carry around. Its so tiny, I can carry it in my handbag. I adore the packaging!
It also super affordable, ranging from R35,00 to R39,00 depending on where you shop.

Absolutely Love this product, I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
I give it 5/5 stars, well done!!!!

By total fluke i decided to try this brand of tampons because i found myself pacing up and down the isle feeling intrigued by the size of this applicator tampon.....

what i love:
1 smooth, easy and very small to insert
2 soft packing that is the outer plastic packaging and the applicator packaging itself
3 staying dry no matter how busy the day,no leaks besides when it indicates its full other than that you cant even feel its there

what i hate:
1 .....

the fact that they have a multi pack or duo pack with 2 sizes is an absolute steal because you use the one size for beginning and end and the other size for in between or day 2 and 3 when you have a heavier flow!

awesomeness love my new brand already stocked up to the brim :-0

I recently received the New Tampax Tampons from Beauty Bulletin well before my cycle, hence the relayed review. When I First received the boxes I thought the packaging was very cute and brightly coloured, green being the normal/heavy and yellow being the Light. Its easy to just throw in ones bag without loosing it amongst the MANY ITEMS because of the bright wrapping.

I must confess I was never a fan of applicator since the previous Tampax was cardboard and apon application I personally needed some KY to lubricate the actual applicator otherwise it would be a very dry sore affair when inserting the actual tampon. I stayed away from all applicators and kept to the normal tampons which for me eas easier to use.

With the new plastic applicator it is super easy, since its plastic and smaller it just makes it soo much EASIER and CLEANER!! Can I just emphasis the ease in using it!!! It basically just glides in without discomfort. That won me over to stock pile.

I am comparing tampax to other brands. Since I do work out 3-4 times a week and I usually alternate between running, yoga and floor work and sometimes Zumba to motivate since I dislike exercising but I do love it eat lol....And as a woman when you are running or stretching on a mat you really do not want any accidents. I tend to opt for tampons that offer Normal/Heavy coverage when I work-out, and the Tampax actually offered me that coverage! While running I didn't feel any leakage or danger there of. I didn't have to wear a liner which is need when working out since the tampon absorbed and maintained the "liquid" during my entire work-out.

I also found that I could use the ladies without removing it, there was no absorption since the string is fairly short and didn't hang low (hahaha). And when wearing anything short/tight we don't really want that long string peaking out.

My overall opinion is that I do like the new Tampax tampons as a must for my gym bag or when I'm heading out for the evening. Since Tampax gives me that piece of mind that I'll be clean. Tampax made me brave enough to wear WHITE while on my cycle!!! It's a must have for any woman who uses tampons and or wants to make a change over to Applicator Tampons.

After I received my box I was very much excited. I tried them out 2 days later and was not really impressed by the plastic applicator, it was not very comfortable to use but the tampon itself after removing the applicator is comfortable and you can't even feel it's there.

The packaging however is really cute and discreet as it looks like little sweet packets. The Size is also small which also helps. I checked them out at the local stores and found that they are quite affordable.

To sum this all up, I would buy them again but without the applicator because for the first time I was able to sleep the whole night with a tampon and wake up with clean underwear, with other brands I have to change it in the middle of the night.

I received my box of these cute, discreet tampons at the right time but I wasn't very impressed when I tried them. The plastic applicator was pretty uncomfortable when inserting the tampon :( I usually use another brand or sometimes opt for sanitary pads instead as it is much more safer. Tampax is great when going out or visiting the beach.

These little tampon applicators may be half the size of the cardboard ones but what about the environment? These new applicators are plastic...do you recycle them or just fling them in the SheBin?

On average, one woman will use over 11 000 tampons or pads in their lifetime, which will end up in landfill or in the sea.

One woman uses up to 22 items of sanitary protection every period. Regardless of your flow, you only need one menstrual cup, and I've had my Mooncup for over 10 years, making it the most economical sanitary product you can buy.

Why don't you head on over to Mooncup or Diva Cup and take a look at swapping to a menstrual cup?

I did buy a box of Tampax Compak to see what all the "hype" was about, but I will be sticking to my Mooncup...

I don't have to carry around spares and be discreetly slipping into my bra every time I go to the loo.

I won't be leaving any dangerous fibers behind in my lady bits causing me infections.

I walk down the feminine hygiene product isle at the supermarket and smile to myself, because I know I won't have to purchase these over-priced products.

When I got home, opened the package and saw it was Tampax, I was a little skeptical. I have always been an in-between Lillets and Tampax user, but when I used my first one I was really amazed. They also came at just the right time as I just started that time on that day....

When I opened it up and saw how small and compact the applicator was I was actually quite amazed as now I don't have to worry about them being found in my make-up bag or drawer in my room, especially with the awesome wrapper it is in.

With me having two small girls, ages 4 and 6, trying to hide these little "thingies" (as my youngest calls them) is not easy, but with them being in the wrapper I just tell them it's special sweeties for mommy and they leave me be.

I stopped using the applicator tampons as it started getting a bit uncomfortable, but after my second application with the Tampax Compak I must say I am back on the applicator tampons. They don't just go in easy and without discomfort, the tampon itself is so absorbent and it makes me feel more comfortable too.

I do not have to worry that I might be "leaking" as they say and it keeps everything in until I need to change. It also doesn't cause discomfort at the end when there is not that much happening....

This topic is a bit of a something I don't usually talk about so my review might not be one of the best, but I must say, at these prices I am definitely going to keep on using them and have already suggested it to all my friend.

They are available at any Clicks, Dis-Chem, super markets and selected pharmacies at reasonable prices:

Tampax Compak Regular: R34.99
Tampax Compak Super: R34.99
Tampax Compak Super Plus: R34.99
Tampax Compak Multipack: R39.99

Come on ladies, try it for yourself, I am hooked....

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.

After being a staunch "other brand" user since my teens, I was really keen on trying something different. I must be honest though, I've always tried to stay away from applicator tampons for fear of "damaging" my most intimate part!

The tricky part for me was actually inserting the tampons using the applicator. The first 2 tries were an absolute disaster!!! I ended up removing the tampon from the applicator and inserted it using the normal non-applicator method. I just couldn't get it right. Eventually I went back to the instructions, relaxed my body as suggested' and voila!!!! I'm proud to say after 3 blotched attempts, I finally got it right.

I was also a bit skeptical as I noticed that the actual tampon was much softer than the usual bully shaped tampons from other brands. I used a liner "just in case" . After 4 hours I found that there was no "accident", which finally got me to relax. My mother of all tests was wearing it at night as usually with the other brands or even pads, I find that I have to get up to change the tampon. With TAMPAX Applicator tampons I slept right through, with not a slight accident!

I'm not sure about the shape though, but looking it suggested that whoever designed it had a real understanding of the woman's delicate anatomy, which was quite interesting for me. Overall, one of the best female products by far, and I definitely would be using them going forward. I just hope I can find them in store, after all, with so many positive reviews, these will definitely be flying off the shelf!! Thanks BB and TAMPAX!

First off, I'd like to mention that this is the first product I was sent to review and you can imagine my excitement and the package was delivered the third day of my menstrual cycle so perfect timing right?!
I will not lie I was a bit nervous and sceptical when I saw that it was a box of tampons because honestly speaking I am not a fan of tampons due to a bad experience when I was 11, but any who I told myself that I'm a big girl now so there is nothing to worry about. If ever I use a tampon which is not as often as I would like, I opt for tampons with applicators so I was more at ease when I saw I was sent tampons with applicators.

Before I used the tampon, I fell in love with how smooth and easy to use the applicator was and the pretty colourful colours it came in (Green and Yellow), after reading the instructions I inserted the tampon and proceeded to wash my hands and continue on with my day. The way I was so comfortable, I even forgot I had a tampon that is how amazing this product is. Since that day I vouched to start using tampons more but not just any ordinary tampons but Tampax Compak tampons. Thank you Beauty Bulletin for allowing my to try the awesome product:)

Ladies what are you waiting for, go get the Tampax Compak and trust me, you won't regret it

I lived overseas for a year after I'd finished school and used to use the Tampax Compak's then. I missed them so much when I came back to SA as I'd aways found them to be super convenient and very discreet. So when my tester box arrived I was thrilled! And just in time for the busy festive season.

Tampax Compak's are super discreet and can be slipped conveniently into any bag, even when on a night out! This was super useful as we all know the fun, long days and nights that Summer brings. The plastic applicator is incredibly easy to use and is very comfortable to insert. It also makes me feel a little more hygienic as the cardboard ones are not the most ideal in my opinion. No discomfort at all!
Sneaky hiding places while at the beach and on the go this Summer include: snuck into a pack of tissues already in my bag; slipped into my make up bag or the inside of a clutch while on a night out.

Overall, a definate stable monthly purchase now these babies have hit our shores!

This is really a great product! After receiving my package in the post I had to wait a couple of weeks before I could use it. This was the first time I've used Tampax and an applicator tampon so I was treading in unknown territory. To my surprise the product was so easy to use and super absorbent. I was really impressed and definitely buy this product!

So when I received this in the post, I had to wait a month before I could try it... because you know, timing is everything ;) I then got married and went on Honeymoon - so I could only post about it now... but rather late than never, right?

So my first thoughts... an applicator? I was scared to try it out as this was definitely NEW to me. When I did, I was surprised at how easy it was to use, and it made for a better experience. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all! I think every girl needs to have these as apposed to the normal tampons. It just makes for a better experience, especially for those who are new to their mentrual cycles.

5/5 from me! Thank you Tampax and Beauty Bulletin!

I was so happy to be given the opportunity to try the Tampax Compak, I couldn't wait for my periods to come. This is by far the most discreet and comfortable tampons I have ever come across. The applicator is so easy to use and as for the packaging, I did not even have to hide them when we went to the beach with my husband and kids I just threw it in my beach bag and he couldn't even notice it was tampons as the colorful wrapper looks like some candy. I had no problem swimming with my Tampax on as it did not feel soggy or uncomfortable like other brands I've been using, I even forgot I was on periods. There was a time where I couldn't find a place to change my tampon and was so worried I will stain my white summer dress and to my surprise I did not experience such trouble.

Tampax Compak surely is a girl's best friend. If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for???!!!

Thanks BB for the wonderful experience!

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 .

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.

Hi ladies.
So Beauty Bulletin chose me to review these awesome little tampons called Tampax Compak! I wont lie i was very scared to try them coz i only use Lilets and not a fam of change! But when i decided i have to review them and i actually used them i was utterly shocked! I had no discomfort at all inserting the applicator like i usually do. It was amazing. I opened a new one just to feel and see what the applicator was made of. Its like this flimsy little plastic that couldnt hurt u if u tried :D soooo amazed! Where i use 5 Lilets in 1 day i only need 3 of these Tampax because the new design keeps liquids inside the tampon longer. I seriously have fallen in love with these tampons and absolutely LOVE them :D
