Lets start from the beginning...

The first thing I noticed (I've NEVER used applicator tampons before so everything was a first) was the size of the box compared to my normal brand of non applicator tampons...hmmm... let's wait for AF.

Ok AF is here- open the box, grab one + instructions and off to the toilet I go (at work:/)

Read the instructions- easy, clear and gives me an exact idea of what to do.

1...2...3... DONE. It was love at first AF!

I could not feel it (some brands of tampons hurt me especially on the first day), process was super easy and much more hygienic (and here I thought my "normal" tampons were hygienic) than regular non applicator tampons with regards to insertion.

The plastic applicator is a bit of a nuisance to throw away, but that's the problem with all applicator tampons. Just put a "tear here" thingy in the packet- would be much easier to open.

The normal was great on the first day and the super was a bit too super for me- even at my heaviest so I will stick to regular.

I will definitely be purchasing tampax compak and even other tampons from the tampax range- I just love it. Now I know what all the hype is about!

My hiding spot for my tampon is my make up bag- I always have it with me :)
