When I got home, opened the package and saw it was Tampax, I was a little skeptical. I have always been an in-between Lillets and Tampax user, but when I used my first one I was really amazed. They also came at just the right time as I just started that time on that day....

When I opened it up and saw how small and compact the applicator was I was actually quite amazed as now I don't have to worry about them being found in my make-up bag or drawer in my room, especially with the awesome wrapper it is in.

With me having two small girls, ages 4 and 6, trying to hide these little "thingies" (as my youngest calls them) is not easy, but with them being in the wrapper I just tell them it's special sweeties for mommy and they leave me be.

I stopped using the applicator tampons as it started getting a bit uncomfortable, but after my second application with the Tampax Compak I must say I am back on the applicator tampons. They don't just go in easy and without discomfort, the tampon itself is so absorbent and it makes me feel more comfortable too.

I do not have to worry that I might be "leaking" as they say and it keeps everything in until I need to change. It also doesn't cause discomfort at the end when there is not that much happening....

This topic is a bit of a something I don't usually talk about so my review might not be one of the best, but I must say, at these prices I am definitely going to keep on using them and have already suggested it to all my friend.

They are available at any Clicks, Dis-Chem, super markets and selected pharmacies at reasonable prices:

Tampax Compak Regular: R34.99
Tampax Compak Super: R34.99
Tampax Compak Super Plus: R34.99
Tampax Compak Multipack: R39.99

Come on ladies, try it for yourself, I am hooked....
