I’ve been a loyal user for 20+ years. The tampons no longer expand and leak even though my cycle is much lighter. I’m disappointed in the quality, they are no longer comfortable or reliable..never mind the price increase.

Just opened my first box of the redesigned tampons. It's not just the wrap that's changed, but also the build. It pulled apart during removal and I literally had to dig out material. I've been using OB my whole life and now I have to find an alternative. Disappointing.

I really like these tampons !! I love the instructions that come with it - I think they are really clear and help to understand how the tampons go in (especially if it's something you've never done before). It also feels great to be eco friendly :) the only issue I have with them is that the "super" isn't quite as good as applicator tampons, meaning I have to change them slightly more often.

Bit of a learning curve but less waste

The OB original no applicator tampons as the name suggests does not come with any applicators so maybe a bit difficult to use and a bit of a learning curve as you learn to use this and use your fingers as the applicator (which can be a problem if you aren't in the comfort of your own washroom at home as I would be concerned about cleanliness of my hands before and after insertion ). Once you get past that it does what it intended to do and is absorbent and comfortable. The positive is that without the applicator there is less packaging, more discreet (can hide it in the palm of your hide for example) and there is less packaging waste.
Comfortable and great absorption

While I found this tampon a bit difficult to insert at first, it was really comfortable to wear and did not bother me in any ways. It had great absorption and no leaks at all while wearing it which was amazing!
Great!

These tampons are small, but they are very absorbent. I would recommend using these tampons when having heavier flow. These tampons also feel very comfortable and because of the size, it is so easy and convenient to take these with you.

Excellent leak proof protection which I can feel confident about. Don't need to use a liner with this product which is nice. Discreet and convenient packaging. Easy to insert, moves with my body. Would definately recommend!

I have never tried applicator free tampons so this was the first for me. Although I have been using tampons for a long time now, I was still hesitant in putting the tampon in as I wasn't sure if it was far up or not. It is also very challenging to apply when you have longer nails. I eventually got it in and had no leaks but I think that was because I am near the end of my cycle so the flow is not that heavy.
Great protection!

I like the packaging of this product. It is so compact. My first time to use a no applicator tampon and found it hard to insert but i guess once you have the hang of it , it will get easier.Absorbency wise, it did not disappoint. I happened to have a heavy flow when i used it and worked so well, was leak free and stayed in place even though i was moving a lot. So compact and discreet to keep in your purse and less waste which is great for the environment.
Comfortable and great for the environment.

Does what it needs to do. A bit messier than applicator tampons but great for the environment and comfortable once you get the hang of inserting it. Very convenient for travel and easy to hide in small purses.

This was my first time using a tampon without an applicator and to my surprise it was very easy and comfortable to do. The tampon itself is sleek and tiny which I am a big fan of, it comes with a finger cover to push the tampon in which defn helped from getting things messy although on my first day I was not too successful but it was also my first try. I didn't have any issues with friction or discomfort once it was in but I did have to change within 4 hours. Even though these are small, they can absorb quite a bit and did not leave any stains. I would highly recommend these to anyone who finds bigger tampons uncomfortable or is small in size, im a petite so these were absolutely perfect for me

The tampon is a small one with less packaging, which is environmental friendly and easy to carry. It is easier than I think to use too. Size is small but the absorption is like normal, which is enough to use. I change it around every 3 hours and no leakage at all. It’s good to use!

These tampons are different from my usual , but pleasantly easy to insert . I'm defiantly not used to this new way of inserting it but it worked like a charm . I used the super and amazingly it absorbed my very heavy flow without any leakage . I also love how compact these are and have less waste . A plus in my books .

These tampons are small and absorbent. It felt comfortable. They fit in the tiny pocket in jeans, which is good! However, they don’t come with an applicator, which I am not sure about, I prefer with an applicator. I agree it is better for the planet though, which I like.
These really are ‘super’

OB tampons are amazing. I love that they're available in a 40 pack. The 'super' are just one of the many types I use each month. I like that these tampons have way less waste than any of the other leading brands. I've never had a string break and the coverage is incredible. Highly recommend.
Less waste!

I recently tried o.b. tampons and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked them! I wasn't sure if they would be difficult to use without an applicator but I had no issues. Inserting the first tampon of the day was a bit easier than subsequent. I really like that they are small and portable, and that they contribute less waste!

My experience with this o.b was positive. It adapted well to my flow and provided great comfort. However, I found the insertion a bit challenging, and still don't like the fact that the packing is made of plastic. Despite these issues, onde I better understood how to use it, the experience was great.

I was initially a little hesitant to try this product because it doesn't have the applicator. To my surprise, it was actually really easy to use. All the plastic applicators are just extra trash really and I'm really happy this doesn't have it to help with the environment. I would purchase again and recommend to others. Overall good product, no leaks, comfortable.

Easy Application

Application of the OB tampon was easy to use because of its small form. I go to the gym everyday regularly and no days off even when Ms Flow is in town. I feel comfortable and confident with this tampon. I did not have any leaks or accidents thankfully. The price was very affordable for the big box.
