o.b. Original Non-Applicator Tampons, Ultra Absorbancy, 40 Count (Pack of 1)

I really want to love tampons with applicators. I mean, they are so convenient and a bit more...hygienic. However, they NEVER work as well as these little guys. I keep deviating and always come back to my ever effective O.B. applicator free tampons. Another plus to these guys, you can easily fit them in small pockets and purses AND applicators are clogging up our landfills so there is something to consider.... absorbant

I thought Id try these tampons without an applicator based on good reviews. I wont be getting them again. They can be painful to wear if you dont insert them far enough. I dont enjoy sticking my finger 2 inches into my body, especially in a public restroom at work. If these work for you, great, thanks for doing your part to put less plastic in the environment, but Ill stick to Tampax Pearl. I will note that these seem to have excellent leak protection and absorbancy, I just hate the lack of applicator.

I love these tampons!! sometimes hard to find in stores, so I had to order online! Thank You Amazon!!!

I have been using these for many years now since I came from UK. In UK they are are called Lilets, I used to ship the UK ones over until I found these. I love this brand, they are great for heavy periods. I am glad you decided to make this size again!

I have had a heavy flow for YEARS. Every other brand I’ve bled through or had to wear a liner underneath. OB changed the game. I can now wear a ULTRA tampon with no liner and it can still hold up to my heaviest flow. I change it every like 2 hours on my heaviest days. Nothing compares! I feel so free. I know that sounds silly but not having a pad or even a liner crammed between my legs constantly for 5 days is a lifesaver. I know the idea of no applicator is scary but it really just allows you the ability get to know your body more and become more in tune with how you feel. In less than no time you’ll be a pro! Tampons are really not as scary as they seem. I say start off tiny and move up in sizes. Once you’re in your heavy flow the lubrication of blood will help insertion go by smoothly! OB is a great starter brand in my opinion because I think girls often get confused by the applicator so a brand simple as this is no hassle at all. Small, discreet but mighty. OB ULTRA & OB as a brand is the way to go!

These were my go-to tampons for many years. Other brands just dont compare for leak protection, as long as you flange the end as directed. It is also a good segue to get you accustomed to putting your hands up there on the regular while you have a period, if you wish to transition to a menstrual cup. I did so recently and wished Id done so a very long time ago. Way better for the environment and the wallet, and less risk of TSS

These are the shortest tampons on the market. I also did a test with all the tampons I had and these lost the least amount of particles and absorbed more uniformly then the rest. I used the diva cup before (put me in the hospital with) so I was used to not needing an applicator. This is now my go to tampon.

These are the best tampons, and theyre always sold out when I go to the store. They have the most absorbency and no extra waste, plus theres a ton in the box.

Theyre tampons.

Great value.
