being a regular tampon user since 3 years ago, i found the actual tampon fairly average in quality. when pulling it out and getting ready for insertion, i noticed that the fabric came a bit loose at the bottom where the string hangs out from. also, i struggled quite a bit to get the package and the individual wrappers open where normally one just has to twist or pull a string to unwrap.

i do however LOVE the plastic applicator. having tried the paper ones previously, it was quite uncomfortable inserting it and the claw-like point was quite scratchy on insertion but the this plastic applicator was so comfortable. i barely felt like i was using an applicator.

would definitely purchase this if they improve the quality of the actual tampon.
