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

I bought these because I wanted to have a supply during this pandemic especially. The boxes are the perfect size for any emergency go bag and a good price on Amazon. I have 12 altogether for a years supply and they do not take up too much space. I would recommend buying!

I tried these after Kotex quit making the super plus tampons that have been the only thing that worked with my extremely heavy flow for decades. These OB tampons are horrible. Even with heavy flow, they absorb as they are being inserted, meaning that you are trying to shove dry cotton inside while it abrades your tender tissues. Insertion is painful. Then, they are difficult to place in the exact location for comfort, something that I have never had trouble with using a traditional applicator. Of the 3 I tried before throwing the rest in the trash, only 1 stayed in place properly. I will continue to search for an absorbent tampon but OB is off the list for good.

i love this brand so when they stopped showing up in stores (all bought out) i was devastated. this size (purple) is amazing for heavy flow. honestly, applicators make me uncomfortable and this was an amazing tampon option

I remember growing up that my mom would use these but I never did because there was no applicator and its identity wasnt concealed. Now these are the only ones I use. They are easy to store and travel with. I can keep one in my pocket all day without it falling out. They also work AMAZING. If you are hesitant, just try them out.

Good

I cant live with out these. I hope they dont get discontinued these are hard to find. I have a heavy flow for at least the first 3-4 days. These are life savers on having to run for the bathroom every 30-40 mins. I have been using O.B. since I started and I love how discrete these are. Literally no more embracing moments they fit into you hand and arent bulky. So if you are scared of people seeing you taking these to the bathroom dont be. These take care of those heavy days like a charm.

I spent 20+ years (Im now 40, so if that tells you anything) using paper applicators that would get wedged or would end up too dry and you know...the feeling of pulling one of those out is too much fun. So, on a lark, I decided to get a box of OB tampons and the heavens opened. Not only can I cram about 20 of these in my bag where I could only fit a couple of the paper applicators before, and they would always come out of their paper rendering them useless, these fit SO much better. Theyre easier to get placed and the way they are designed to open is light years over paper applicators. They dont last as long, so youll have to change them a bit more often, which is why I knocked up to the Ultras. I cant find these anywhere in the stores, so Im buying them here. And, hot tip, anything you dont want a dude looking at? Just cover with these tampons. Theyre like garlic to a vampire.

Absorb more and longer want leak quickly like flat tampons. It forms to your area. I cant live without out them when mother nature calls.
