Tampax Compak is the latest product from the Tampax stable and it is spot on as far as tampons go. The pack is really colourful and cool and the packaging of each tampon is sweet. It is also convenient in that is available as a multipack. This means that in one pack you get tampons for heavy flow as well as those for medium flow days. No having to waste money buying two packs anymore or using the wrong type for that time of the month. The greatest feature of this tampon is the new silky smooth plastic applicator which makes inserting it fuss free and easy compared to the usual cardboard applicators. The tampon itself is really comfortable and super absorbent so you do not have to worry about leakages and above all it is really cost effective. You hardly feel like it is there so you can be confident that your secret is safe and does not have to be let out!

I was really impressed with the plastic applicator which made insertion really smooth and easy. Using an applicator is more hygienic. I enjoyed using this range as it was comfortable and gave me a sense of confidence. The packaging is also so awesome , because each individual is wrapped in a bright candy like wrapper. So don't mistake them for candy. I do recommend Tampax Compak to you all.

I purposely haven't commented or done a review on this product because I haven't used tampons in years. I'm a menstrual cup (Mooncup) user and have been doing so for over 12 years. I must admit when I go camping I use tampons because they are less fuss. I think I'll have to give them a go.

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..

Confession time........
I first saw tampons from a classmate when I was 13 during PT (yes I'm old.lol) and was curious about the bullet and she explained what it is was and I was intrigued. A year later, I grew up and remember waking up to find a messy bed and my mom gave me pads.
The pads irritated the hell out of me cause they were big forcing me to wear a panty with tights under. It was those days when g-string was the IT thing! My cousin sister came to visit and I explained to her that I want tampons, she said tampons will break my virginity and I was scared that I won't be a virgin anymore. Needless to say I realised that it was just a myth and when I was 17 I bought myself the first pack.
Loved the convenience and being discreet about tampons without "leaks" then I saw the Tampax with an applicator. Got curious and bought it. Biggest mistake of my life, maybe I didn't know how to insert it properly and it hurt.
That was the last time I used the brand suppose it was too hard and irritating so maybe one can consider the new plastic applicator. I see they also improved their packaging which is nice.

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

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!

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 :)

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.

I started using tampons in standard 6, when Aunt Suze came to visit in her red Ferrari during a swim meet at school, in which I was participant.
My PE teacher introduced me to Tampax Tampons, with applicator and guided me on how to use it,
To be honest, that first day I think I finished her box as I felt that that tiny tampon would not manage to absorb much, and I changed it every 20 min
I quickly learned how wrong I was, and that these little miracles worked 1000 times better than pads, which were in those days horrible and thick and became smelly if you didn't change them every three hours or so,
I was scared at first, that it would get stuck, that I wasn't putting it in correctly and so many other insecurities, but thanks to my patient teacher all these fears were layed to rest, she explained it's impossible to insert a Tampax Tampon incorrectly due to the applicator, and that you only need to change your tampon when you start to feel it, or every 6 hours which ever comes first,
This was my lifesaver, no more did I have to rush to the loo between periods because of my heavy periods (I had to change pads every 90min) I could just change my tampon once during the school day,
Now I don't even bother buying pads, but I am never without my Tampax Tampons.
And one day when my girl's turns come, I will guide them as I was guided, so they don't have to suffer through embarrassing spills on their skirts (or as happened to me on a night out at age 13, a huge red blotch on a white jeans) and all the physiological damage that goes with aunt Suze red Ferrari making itself known to all and sundry.
After about a year using Tampons, Tampax gave me the courage to wear my white jeans again even when I was on my period and in all these years, not one spill.
It really was a teens life saver,

So let’s be blunt here and have no skaam: I’ve never liked tampons with cardboard applicators. I remember digging through my mum’s bathroom cupboards as a young kiddie (because I was like, SUPER nosey, had an obsession with her toiletries and makeup, and, because, because) … and then I discovered those LONG things wrapped in paper. ‘Mom, WHAT?’ ‘Oh no, my girl, you will understand once you get older.
Older I got, and as a very active young thing (horse riding, ballet, you name it) sanitary pads were just not going to make the cut. At all. No explanation needed. So I started my womanhood with tampons sans applicator and even in my later twenties, I still never considered using tampons with an applicator. I even remembered having a little surprise backstage during our school musical in matric and frantically running around for a tampon (don’t pretend like this hasn’t happened to you, girls!). My very sweet fellow dancer offered me a tampon … with cardboard applicator. ‘No thanks, I do NOT understand to use that’, I said, as I dashed off to the garage across the streets to find something … well … smaller.
And then Tampax Compak made an arrival. And my first question? Where was this product in my teens? Why didn’t we have cool stuff like this? Now here’s finally something discreet enough, with an easy to use applicator. And what’s best? They do ACTUALLY NOT take up the entire space in an evening clutch. We all remember the shock and horror as a tampon fell out of our school blazers or our shiny little handsakkies at school formals. Not anymore, though. With the candy coloured discreet wrappers, your awkward boy-date won’t even have a clue that it was a tampon making its escape out of your bag. Embarrassment eliminated!
What’s more, is that it’s comfortable and smooth enough to be used. What really impressed me, was the Multipack initiative. Because you know those days where your flow is almost an absolute no-show and other days you feel like you can’t even stand up without worrying about having a little situation on your dress? Here you have two absorbencies in one handy go. Another like! So Tampax, well done for breaking my stigma that you only delivered ‘those horrible carton tubes’ that scared the dickens out of me when I was just starting my ladytime as a teen. This is definitely a product that I will try some more.

Tampax ought to be declared every girl 's travelling companion. The Tampax team "believes in a world where women can live without limits," as stated by product line's Facebook page.
I decided to follow my dreams and never ever let anything red alert out sudden "breaks" in my performance speed. This journey is one that cannot be lost or sacrificed to the periods gods ever! Why then be limited?
I dread pads as they make me feel like I am carrying a bag of unworthy dirty and yes it is unworthy!
So long, I never had any monthly visit due to carrying my precious cargo for 9 months. The bundle finally arrived and excited as I was - then the visitation was on the cards. I was so weary from wearing pads yet afraid to tamper with my aching physical being. The day I decided to stop complaining about the bags I was carrying, I was so long in the queue taking precious baby for vaccination and felt that enough is enough. I loved me enough to walk into a retailer and brave it by purchasing me a cute box full of mighty weapons.
I am ever pleased and almost walked with a proud twist around my waist as I sway from side to side. Applying my journey "friend" was a smooth slide without that burning sensation that used to leave my abdomen feeling like I have just put a heavy plug that aggressively put an unnatural stop on a natural flee flow. So tampons are different after all - Tampax proved to be even better. I give big "kudos" to the applicator -> how hygienic does that get (incase I jump started the process and my hands are not thoroughly clean). Amazingly these applicators have been given a twist to be shorter thus making it extra easier to insert the tampons without struggling to separate it from its past warm home.
Behold walking feels natural and I have not given up any favorite clothing for the dark fun-strangling garments in attempts to HIDE any possible leaks. My self confidence came together after it was shattered by the red family's unannounced visit. Then I conquered with my mighty weapon which has proven its ability to absorbed thoroughly - leaks are also a thing of the past hey :)
Remind yourself that I mentioned that smoothly, the tampons is inserted allowing discreet carrying - yep you forget it is there as you go free doing you...yet the moment its gets cozy and full, it makes its present know to give you a chance to allow it to be changed. Oh did I mention that these tampons mold themselves as to your shape? Now I have mentioned it :)
Oh my oh my and to dispose of it is a dream come true - then nobody has to know what I have been up to with their reseal-able wrappers. Gone are those days where I have to stumble around with larger amounts of tissue paper wrapping my secret.
For so much peace - I surely have not paid much at a reasonable R35 > yes to that!

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...

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 haven't used Tampax in years because I prefer the non applicator brands. When I first started out at the age of 12 Tampax was my first tampon, I use to use sanitary towels at first but had a major accident in class, luckily one of my school friends saw and ran to me with a jersey to tie around my waist & cover the big round red spot which soaked through my school dress, how embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we had to find the guidance teacher who made me stand on a chair in the teachers restrooms while the teacher & my friend tried to get the mark out, even more embarrassing :( I was just hoping nobody else saw it and from that day on I decided Goodbye sanitary towels, Hello Tampax. I had learned about Tampax in guidance class and was given free samples. At first it was difficult to insert and I just hoped it wouldn't disappear or get lost inside of me, but over time it became easier and I was loyal to Tampax ever since then. After about 5 years I decided I'm a PRO now so I don't need the applicator brand anymore & switched to Lil lets non applicator, I used Lil Lets for a few years and then had problems with the string breaking off, sometimes even before I could remove it. Since this incident I have moved over to Kotex non applicator and am very happy with this brand.

I have been a loyal Tampax user ever since I stopped using sanitary towels many years ago, and to be honest I have never looked back! Granted I was not a fan of those awkward cardboard applicators; however I found that they did the trick and I could pretty much get on with any activity during 'that time of the month'. Tampax Compak has trumped the original Tampax with applicators and I find the plastic applicators to be so much more comfortable and easy to use! No more hiding tampons in your sleeve or lugging them around your hand bag to the bathroom to change your tampon. Tampax Compak are the perfect size to pop into your pocket or a cute cosmetics bag. I am a very happy Tampax customer!

The diary of a PMS lady:
Well let’s talk about the dreadful time of the year where pains and discomfort are present and you dare not wear your little white dress!
For me my period days are never a good time of the month. Firstly I don’t like them because I have the full symptoms of PMS, that is PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! I get moody, bloated, ultrasensitive, have headaches and nausea and feel like I am carrying a 4 months pregnancy! Second, every month I am hoping that this will be the day that I will miss the red visit for 9 months and get a positive test! My period is a reminder that something is not going well, and somehow, somewhere fertility is having troubles.
Thirdly is that I can’t just call in sick, as that would show a pattern, even if all I would like to do is to is stuff my face with chocolate.
So in the most painful time of the month, I would like the support of a tampon brand I can trust. There is nothing worse than to go through all this and realize that my clothes were stained ( not a good look at all ). And because of that TAMPAX is my best friend!
I only began to wear a tampon when I was 22 years old (believe me I was suffering before that!). My mom always said I shouldn’t wear tampons (something about making me lose my virginity). But wearing a tampon made my life so much easier. I can still go to the gym, which was impossible with the uncomfortable and unhygienic pads!
I wouldn’t trade TAMPAX for any other brand. And now with the TAMPAX Compak applicator that is much smaller and user friendly than other ones out there, it’s easy. No mess or fuss. I love that the brand just keeps on adjusting and improving their products.
Thank you TAMPAX for enduring my moodiness and having my back always! xoxo
Well let’s talk about the dreadful time of the year where pains and discomfort are present and you dare not wear your little white dress!
For me my period days are never a good time of the month. Firstly I don’t like them because I have the full symptoms of PMS, that is PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! I get moody, bloated, ultrasensitive, have headaches and nausea and feel like I am carrying a 4 months pregnancy! Second, every month I am hoping that this will be the day that I will miss the red visit for 9 months and get a positive test! My period is a reminder that something is not going well, and somehow, somewhere fertility is having troubles.
Thirdly is that I can’t just call in sick, as that would show a pattern, even if all I would like to do is to is stuff my face with chocolate.
So in the most painful time of the month, I would like the support of a tampon brand I can trust. There is nothing worse than to go through all this and realize that my clothes were stained ( not a good look at all ). And because of that TAMPAX is my best friend!
I only began to wear a tampon when I was 22 years old (believe me I was suffering before that!). My mom always said I shouldn’t wear tampons (something about making me lose my virginity). But wearing a tampon made my life so much easier. I can still go to the gym, which was impossible with the uncomfortable and unhygienic pads!
I wouldn’t trade TAMPAX for any other brand. And now with the TAMPAX Compak applicator that is much smaller and user friendly than other ones out there, it’s easy. No mess or fuss. I love that the brand just keeps on adjusting and improving their products.

So this is really a touchy subject and kinda embarrassing to talk about but all of us ladies suffer from the same thing so let me share my experiencing regarding my monthly friend Miss Period!
I have always had a really tough time with Miss period bad aches and pains everywhere it got to the point where I could hardly work and I was puking also not to mention major flow issues.
I used normal pads for quite sometime but it wasn't good, I have very sensitive skin especially down there and pads where irritating my skin, rashes , redness , open areas you name it I had it!! Little did I know that all I had to do was use tampons and all of this pain and overflow would stop.
I tried every brand of tampons on the market but nothing really gave me the security of not not having to check every hour and I always felt so scared that tampon would just fall right out of me.
I started using Tampex a few months ago, what I really like is the fact that it comes with an applicator so that I don't get my hands dirty and that can be kinda gross.. There are a few sizes to choose from so that's perfect for those ladies who has a heavy flow or a light flow.
I haven't used any other tampons brand again because Tampex takes care of all of my needs and it doesn't irritate my skin.
Have you tried it too??

My hair-raising Tampon tale:
On a cold Winters night in the vibey suburb of Capetown, an immaculate stepford type wife named Anisa was hosting an adults only dinner to celebrate her husbands 40th birthday. The menu was just as extraordinary as the perfectly laden table. Her beautiful couture inspired dress was sublime. Every single part of the evening was perfect and the guest list was quite impressive. Anisa remembered telling her maid to ensure that her Siberian huskies were locked in the garage area for the night. But what happened next would continue to haunt her till this day. As the talk amongst the snooty guests reached a momentum, the perfectly attired hostess was gobsmacked to notice that her wild husky named Wolfy had escaped and was running a mock in the dining area. Anisa tried to chase the naughty husky and when she eventually cornered him in her bathroom, what he did next was totally unexpected. Wolfy reached for the bin and grabbed a blood soaked tampon! With the bloody tampon dangling from his mouth, he ran into the dining room again to the horror of some of the guests. Anisa’s husband tried to grab the tampon from this crazy dog but to no avail. It was like a wrestling match with the dog as the victor. After a 10 minute struggle, the crazy husky swallowed Anisa’s tampon whole. Yes, the entire blood soaked tampon gobbled up as if it was a piece of steak. Lets just say that there was silence on this fateful night in June. The step-ford wife decided to serve her steaks well done instead of rare.
Thats when my love for Tampax Compak started. I squashed all my fears that I had of wearing a tampon and went ahead and tried this holy grail product and the rest they say is Tampax history. Gone are the days of wearing uncomfortable pads which move around and feel so grotesque. Gone are the days of stained underwear and feeling even more depressed about your period. Tampax is the best thing ever created and sometimes you feel as if you are wearing nothing! Wow! thats an awesome feeling coupled with the fact that Tampax can fit into your skinny jeans pocket. ooh la la! So yes, my tampon journey started a little late in life BUT if it had not been for my naughty husky Mishcha I would be still living in the dark ages of wearing those horrific pads!So Tampex Compak gets my 5 star vote when it comes to price,quality and the comfort!

Now I am an age old sceptic when it comes to tampons and feminine care products. I often wonder won't it get lost somewhere inside, how will I know when its time to change over to clean and fresh tampon and what are the risks?
Well tampax has made all this very easy for me, no mess and no fuss plus an extensive variety of products to choose from.
Here is my story of how tampax changed my life and perception on tampons:
I always insisted on using normal sanitary towels, but, if not worn properly or on heavy flow days can mess up your clothing big time. No way I was having this problem ever again.
My girlfriend/best friend actually introduced me to tampax (she must have seen that I was battling somehow) and explianed very briefly just how it can make my life easier.
First things first was to find the right quality product that was right for me, she recommended starting off with regular radiant which offers Tampax’s best-ever* leak protection plus a one-of-a-kind resealable wrapper for discrete disposal. This could work very well to start off with and offer great protection for heavy flow days.
I tried it and I loved it and even went back for another pack. Application and Insertion was a breeze; just find a comfortable position in which to sit ( i prefer to sit when inserting) and change after 8 hours of use.
Tampax is the greatest feminine and sanitary product since........, well since forever.
I do not believe that there is any other product on the market that caters to my unique 'monthly cycle' needs like tampax because now I am free to wear what I want when I want. I do however just carry one or two extra tampons in my bag (which is soo small and easy to carry).
Tampax offers a no mess and no fuss solution.
Goodbye sanitary towels that just leave a huge mess behind and the drag of having to change it when you feel uncomfortable. Welcome Tampax, your answer to a hassle- free, easy menstrual period!

I remember in high school missing out on all the swimming fun because of my very heavy flow. I was scared off trying tampons by a PE teacher. In retrospect, she was trying to help but was so over enthusiastic, I got scared. Also, who isn't shy to admit they have a flow that would rival Niagara at that time of month? But when I finally got up the courage, (waaaay after school) to try it out - it definitely changed my life! The price is awesome, and the quality even better. My flow is still evilly strong, but my Tampax copes with it easily - thank goodness. No more worrying about leaks , and embarassing spots on clothing. No more "have to tie a jacket around your waist to sneak home and hope no-one has seen you days." And yes, all that summer fun is now mine to own!! What I love best is the size - discreet enough to fit in my smallest bag. Thanks Tampax!!

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'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!
