Q: Where is this item made / manufactured? Where do the ingredients come from? Thank you.
Absolutely amazing for girlies who have a heavy flow. Normal tampons are oval shaped, and absorb what they can. These ones have a unique funnel shake that blocks flow from coming out, unlike the oval shaped ones. Wish I knew about this before I was 27. Such a life changer to not have leaks when I have a tampon in. I would love if they did a deal every so often, as they get expensive to buy. Maybe they do, but either way I recommend these.

Great for my perimenopausal cycle!
Lately I've been experiencing some perimenopausal symptoms such as lighter flow, dryness, and change in the shape of my vaginal canal, so finding a tampon that works well for my body has been difficult and frustrating. I even thought I might need to start using lubricants to place tampons properly and avoid discomfort, but luckily I've found Playtex Sport. How do I explain? I'm anatomically petite and narrow? LOL and this applicator glides very easily and is shaped in a way that feels very natural to my body. I've experienced far less discomfort while the tampon is inserted, and one regular sized one held me the entire day of my heaviest day. So I'm sold! The reason I didn't try them sooner I think is because they're marketed as a "sport" product and I don't play sports, so it didn't dawn on me to buy them. If the company ever decides to re-brand them, I'd recommend using the word "active" perhaps? And featuring a different woman on each box or various women doing different activities on the box. I would have gravitated to the product faster in that case. But either way, so grateful I finally found this product and thank you!

No absorbency or protection
I used to use the sport for many years then all of a sudden the last year or so no absorbency. It will only absorb on 1 side & no expansion. Have leak problems and more. I have used regular, super, and plus. Used to be such good tampons.

Use Clean Ingredients
I love everything about this product except the ingredients. Why can't you use natural, organic ingredients in this tampon like in the clean ones? The sport applicators are the best, but I would love to have better ingredients for the tampons themselves.

This brand is my favorite currently. Absorbs nicely, the applicator is plastic so it is easy to use, and I rarely have leaks.

Reliable Tampon
If you have a heavy flow and a busy schedule like me, the Playtex Sport Super is a "workhorse" product. It provides a level of security that many newer, trendy brands haven't quite mastered yet. It’s my choice for those icky heaviest days when you can't afford a wardrobe malfunction.

Terrible absorption. I use twice if not more than I do with other brands.

Target needs to learn how to ship these. Half of them are out of the applicator and cannot be used. They are too expensive to not all be useable. Please work on your shipping fidelity.

If I could give it zero stars I would. The push in application wand fell off in almost all of them so I had to put them back in which took some time. Did not think it had the absorption strength it said it did. Would not recommend, especially if you are very active in life.

Terrible product doesn’t expand or absorb
I always use Tampax but decided to try Playtex sport as they were on sale and I was in a pinch. I would not recommend. They don’t expand at all so I don’t know how they even absorb anything! I find myself changing it way more often than I would using Tampax. They don’t have any kind of leak proofing either since they don’t expand and the string is so tiny that if it does leak it won’t absorb anything. The applicator is also weird and they seem so small. I got the super size and they are the size of a regular or light! They are comfortable but they don’t do anything
