Indications
Warnings
Tampons are associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but serious disease that may cause death. Read and save the leaflet inside the package. Use for 8 hours maximum. The risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) increases with higher absorbency. In order to reduce your risk of TSS, you should use the lowest absorbency that meets your needs.

The Only One I'll Use
I wish I could say that I'm more environmentally friendly when it comes to tampons, but I can't give these up. Love that they also come in "variety packs," and the super plus is the only thing that will hold up over night for me. Ultra comfortable.

Pros: comfortable ...
Pros: comfortable insertion, they have better leakage protection than tampax super plus with biodegradable applicator, and I find I don't have to change them as often as some other kinds. Cons: Plastic applicator is terrible for the environment, they're fairly painful to remove because they expand widthwise, and they're more expensive. Overall, I'd say the cons outweigh the pros -- An extra hour of wear time isn't worth it, so I'll stick with being kinder to the environment and saving myself a little money.

The only ones I will use. I've never had any problems with them at all. A wonderful product that does exactly what it promises, and that's rare.

I like this product best of all since the o.b. ultra applicator tampon was taken off the market. Why I do not know.[...]No complaints about this product..except if an Ultra comes out, I'll stock up!!!
Comments about Tampax Pearl Tampons with Plastic Applicator, Super Plus Absorbency, Unscented, 18 ea:
I like these because of their superior leak protection on those heavy days. They didn't cause me any discomfort or pain. With the original tampax, these do not expand, so there is a possibility for leakage. I feel safer using these more than any other brand.

These provide the most comfort and protection of any tampon i have used. If you are experiencing a lot of pain on removal then you are using too high of an absorbency. Try using just the super or regular and changing them more often.

I think these tampons are excellent! I always used Playtex Gentle Glide tampons (actually still do along with the Tampax, I alternate) before finding Tampax Pearl, but these are great protection too. I have used these tampons for a while and I find them a bit uncomfortable to take out sometimes, but I think they are a great tampon and protect really well. I think that is a tiny price to pay for such a great tampon. I will keep buying these. A+

Comments about Tampax Pearl Tampons with Plastic Applicator, Super Plus Absorbency, Unscented, 18 ea:
It protects against leaks better than the other pearls, obviously, but it was EXTREMELY painful when removing. I like the applicator and the durable plastic wraps on these, but because of the pain and the price, and that the tampax original protects against leaks MUCH better without the pain AND is cheaper, I won't use these again.
Directions for use enclosed in package. Tampons come in the following standardized industry-wide absorbencies. Use the chart for comparing absorbencies of all industry products: Light absorbency, less than 6 grams; regular absorbency, 6-9 grams; super absorbency, 9-12 grams.
