Tampax Compak gives me freedom to do the things I want to do even at that time of the month.I particularly enjoyed the discreetness of the product, the packaging is so ingenious, no embarrassment whatsoever if you spilled the contents of your handbag, or when you want to dispose of the applicator.I have used tampons for as long as I can remember but never the ones with an applicator so it did feel kind of like the first time when using them.The diagram/instructions had me a bit confused, so I decided to pretend I was using my finger like I did before.Needless to say, it didn't go to well trying to remove the applicator,on the second use i tried again.Once the tampon was in place there was a pop sound and the applicator can out hassle free.I felt like Superwoman! I thoroughly enjoyed using the product and now I look forward to my periods because I know am FREE!
