Q: Is it smaller than other sizes?
submitted by Bianca - 5 years ago
A: Yes the light tampax is smaller but not the best if you have a heavy flow. Maybe wear a thin pad under if you are but they are good.

Comfortable, safe and very practical
I've been using Tampax tampons for a while and they're definitely the best I've ever tried. I love that the applicator makes it super easy to place them and they feel very comfortable all day, even when I exercise. They provide reliable protection, without leaks or discomfort, and make me feel safe and fresh during my period. In addition, I like that they come in different levels of absorption according to my needs.

Comfortable and easy to use
I have used tampax pearl for well over 10 years. These tampons have never done me wrong. The sizes for flow are very accurate, at least for my cycle. Applicator is comfortable and easy to use also.

Does the trick
Fits fine, nothing special to me. I’m not a fan of tampons but it does what it’s intended to do. Absorbs fine, comfortable but personally not to me so I’m biased. Application was easy and leak free

Comfort
Tampax Pearl Light tampons are an excellent choice for days with lighter flow when you still want reliable protection and comfort. The smooth applicator makes insertion easy and gentle, and the light absorbency provides just the right level of coverage without feeling bulky. The LeakGuard Braid offers extra peace of mind, especially when you’re active or on the go. What I appreciate most is how comfortable it feels—you almost forget you’re wearing it. The discreet packaging is also convenient for travel or keeping in your bag. Overall, Tampax Pearl Light is a great option for comfort, confidence, and protection during lighter days of your cycle.

Great comfort and protection for lighter flow days
I really like using Tampax Pearl Light for lighter days. The absorbency is just right and it feels very comfortable to wear. The applicator is smooth, easy to use, and makes the process quick and clean. I never had issues with leakage, even when moving around or during light workouts. The packaging is also convenient and discreet, which I appreciate. Overall, it’s a reliable product for comfort and protection.

No competition hands down 🩷
The Tampax pearl light tampons are the only tampons I can use on days I’m spotting or barely have a flow. Other brands are uncomfortable or won’t stay put and I was forced to wear pads or panty liners. These tampons always come in a smooth plastic applicator that fits perfectly in my hand and are easy to insert. The packaging is easy open and they come in compact designs for on the go discreet use also! I love all Tampax pearl tampons but these smaller ones are the only one comfortable and easy to use on light flow days. A must have for any female that has unpredictable cycles or spotting occasionally! Worth the price for sure!

Best tampons on the market.
Ideal flow level for light periods! Barely know it's there which is great. Doesn't leak either so the absorbency is just right. Overall the best tampons for light flows.

I would recommend this brand over any other
They fit like they should and they are comfortable. I’ve only leak a coup of times but it was when I was heavy in my flow but overall a very good product. I love the plastic so I thank them for that I can’t stand the cardboard.

Best tampon company
Absorbency is top tier I, with leak guard protection it’s the only Tampon I’ll ever use . I would recommend to all female’s that want that confidence of protection against stains and leaks.

Not my favourite but works
Not my favourite, I prefer either the old cardboard or the new compact pearl ones. These are the least comfortable because they expand and become very thick. The other 2 get longer and they are easier to pull out. Absortion stays the same across the brand and I always feel safe. Been using them for years.
