Tampax Pearl is one of the most reliable and comfortable tampon options available. Its smooth plastic applicator makes insertion easy and nearly friction-free, which is a huge plus for comfort—especially during heavier days. The LeakGuard braid really does add an extra layer of protection, and the variety of absorbency levels makes it easy to choose what fits best depending on your flow. One of the standout features is the contoured shape and discreet, quiet wrapper, which makes it more convenient for carrying in a purse or pocket. It’s also great that the design prioritizes hygiene and reduces mess.

I personally don’t use tampons anymore due to the risk of toxic shock syndrome and the ingredients in them. I did not like the fact that this brand has lots of chemicals like bleaching the cotton. Personally wouldn’t use this brand.

It is easy to apply and offers great absorbency, which makes it reliable for heavier flow days. The smooth applicator makes insertion comfortable, and it stays in place well throughout the day. It’s one of those products you don’t have to overthink — it just works.

If you asked me to pick my favorite period product, this is it. They are the most comfortable fitting tampons, and they absorb well. They come in a variety of sizes- I like to get the big packs for a better value for my money

DigitalChoclat - 4 months ago
Do not buy these. When I used Cora or other cotton organic tampons, I have no odor. But when I use these I smell terrible. There is some kind of chemical or material that mixes with body fluids and makes you smell. I tried an organic and the tampax during the same week and could tell the difference.

This product absorbs well, the design could be a little better. When using the product you feel good and comfortable. It protects against leaks quite well, but if your period is heavy, it’s better to change it more often.

I love this combo pack it manages my heavy periods. I used to use the regular/super/super plus trio pack however since I have started a new birth control that makes my periods heavier I’m grateful tampax makes this trio pack as I’m not sure what I would’ve done without while trying to figure out my new flow

So far this is my favorite super tampon, although I will say, at times I will experience some leaking although the tampon itself is not full. I prefer this applicator as it is easy to use and comfortable. If you have a heavy flow or do any sort of sports or jogging expect some possible leaking. I sometimes will use a thin liner under in case it doesn't catch everything.

I purchased the regular and super tampons and neither are leak proof. I have to change that super one every 2 hours because they don’t offer much absorbency. I wanted to try them because I thought Tampax would be great BUT the Equate tampons, which are cheaper, offer better protection. I used these years ago when the absorbency is better but I guess quality has gone down drastically.

NO GRIP FOR INSERTION

Jenn2204 - 9 months ago

I will not be buying these again. The tampons work well enough for their purpose, which is the only reason I give 2 stars. Inserting these is very difficult. The place you hold while pushing the long end inwards to insert has no grip. The raised portion that looks like a “O” in the pic, that is supposed to provide a grip to hold onto while inserting is way too flat and you end up with fingers slipping in and making a mess. My fingernails and fingertips cannot get a good grip, and I keep my nails to maybe 1/4” in length. Who created this design?? Men?? Do better Tampax!
1 reply from Customer Care team - 8 months ago
We're sorry you're finding the Tampax Pearl applicators difficult for you to grip, Jenn, and that isn't at all the experience we want you to have. A lot of thought goes into the design of our products, and your feedback on this is being shared with our team. Another Tampax version you may like to try is our Radiant tampons which feature an indented textured grip for easy, comfortable placement. We'd like to further help you with this, and ask that you please give us a call at 1-800-523-0014 from 9AM — 6PM EST Monday – Friday.

Work pretty good. It has different levels for absorbency. I usually use super for first few days. It is easy to use, keep that area dry, no leak. It makes me feel more confident during the period.

I have tried Tampax's Pearl Super tampons for several menstrual cycles and, in my experience, they offer solid and reliable protection. What I like most about them is their applicator. It is made of a soft material and has a texture that makes insertion much easier, making the process much more comfortable and less complicated, even on the heaviest days. The shape of the tampon is well designed to expand evenly, which gives me a sense of security and reduces the risk of leakage. The absorption is quite efficient; I can be calm for several hours without having to worry about frequent changes, something I value a lot on busy days. The material is soft to the touch, which contributes to a more comfortable experience compared to other tampons I have used in the past, which can sometimes feel rough or uncomfortable. In addition, the packaging is practical and discreet, which is a plus. Pearl Super tampons from Tampax have been a very satisfactory option for me. They offer an effective combination of comfort, absorption and ease of use, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable protection during their menstrual period.

i had put a tampon in and about 10 minutes later when i started walking around it started to feel a little ittriated like i could feel it when i would take a step so i went to go check what was going on i realized it was built sideways.😐 the literal tampon string was tied around the actual tampon its self. i was very confused because i didn’t have any trouble getting it inserted out of the tube but also how in the heck does that happen? i have always used tampax but now im just a little worried it may happen again
