Tampax Compak

Poorly designed, does not work and the tampon itself did not stay in one piece. Dangerous Show details

most uncomfortable applicator ever – hard plastic that pinches you and is very difficult to actually dispense the tampon in the correct position, love the pearl, but these are dreadful Show details

Lost it in me! – I wouldn’t use these again as I literally just got one out after losing it inside me.. not a good experience but the normal ones are fine

Useless. Waist of time and money. Don't work and are useless – The mechanism doesnot work. The tampons are not comfortable and are very bad quality. Huge disappointment, next step. Take them out of the shops Show details

Poorly designed, short string makes for difficulties – Inserting the tampon with the plastic applicator can be painful, as the claws holding the tampon are pointed and quite sharp. The string is very short, and twice I have encountered real difficulties not being able to get the tampon out. Once it needed to be removed by a GP. Show details

these suck!!!! – I couldn't work htf to insert without having to push the rest up my finger!!! NOT the tampax I have been using for 30 something years and whats worse is that it doesn't look like they come in much else around the place anymore! Very annoying. Go back the the normal size and style for goodness sake!!! Show details

Not great – They are uncomfortable to insert and unravel when taken out. Going back to my original Tampax with the cardboard applicator. Not as subtle to carry around, but much better to use. Show details

horrible – i bought one super but that turns so horrible omg i have a bad experience . i had used tempax pearl super before which was perfect but this blue one is not a good choice for me

Toxic shock – My daughter was rushed into intensive care due to toxic shock syndrome where her organs stopped working. It nearly killed her. The warning on the leaflet should be made bigger.This should be made aware especially for teenagers

My favourite but the new packaging is horrible – The first thing that attracted me to this product was the wonderful minimalist packaging. Recently the packaging changed and now it looks like it should contain sachets of dishwashing liquid. The classic navy and simple logo was lovely and I'm somewhat disappointed. Maybe it's supposed to make the product look cheaper? If so, the change certainly accomplishes that.

The best tampon product on the market – At last a tampax with the correct size so it can be carried in a purse or a pocket. Love tampax products as they are so much more hygienic than other non-applicator tampons. These are the best designed tampon by far. The packaging is also great as it is easy to open and waterproof. Hygienic, small format, easy to carry Cannot find it everywhere! (ie Woolworths or Coles do not stock it - last time I checked!) Show reply

Excellent – Tampax Compak are great to use and very discrete. I would recommend them to amyone and I will continue to use them. The size is great and they are very easy to use.
