Great for those with vaginismus!

I suffer from a condition called vaginismus which means that my vaginal muscles contract uncontrollably making penetration/insertion painful. These are great and super small!

Comfortable, very small, clean and effective.

I've been using these for many many years and they beat any other type. The silk touch variety has been around much longer in Europe and I'm glad they are becoming more common in the US now. Much more comfortable to insert as they don't stick. They are small enough to fit into my jeans change pocket easily (you know, that tiny extra pocket you have on your jeans on the right side above the regular?). Regular size ones are for light flow days, normal for normal, super for heavy flow. I've never had any bleed through in decades as you can usually feel if they are reaching capacity - and usually if you halfway know your flow you can easily plan the right size. You should always replace a tampon after 8-10 hour max (!) though for hygienic reason and I've heard to my horror that some people use them for a day or more. That is unhealthy, your blood is perfect nutrition for bacteria, don't use larger sizes than needed so you can extend the time they are in the body! I'm not sure how people get "bloody fingers" either. If you pull it, the string is clean. If you insert it, you've wiped yourself before and the tampon seals and moves any material that would be still there. Just make sure when you go to pee that you move the string out of the way so it won't soak it by running into the tampon - but that should go without saying.

No more pain.

I know that OB tampons get a bad rap for being applicator free. But consider this: they are designed by women so that means they are much more comfortable for us ladies. I used to buy regular tampons from tampax, and they killed me during my period. I always had extra cramps with them in. But these do not bother me at all!! They absorb well. Also, applicator free means LESS WASTE!! Get on the applicator free train. You will feel better physically and about your waste footprint.

never use tampax again

Amazing. Never thought I would be able to use tampons without and applicator but the 'pro-comfort' coating makes all the difference. If you're like me and have had problems with the length of standard tampons being too long, these will be your new best friend.

I’ll never buy anything else!

Making the switch to applicator free tampons to try and lessen my carbon footprint. I don’t know what took me so long! So easy to do and I can get the tampon in the exact angle I need to to.

They work.

They work as they should, I’m not sure why amazon keeps suggesting I leave a video review of these LOL

Overall best tampon

Best tampons for those who travel or appreciate discretion. Small enough to fit 10 in my purse without a second thought. They work fine so long as I change them every trip to the restroom, which you should do anyway. Comfortable enough that I don't notice having one in unless it's time to change it. Just remember to wash your hands at the end of your bathroom visit, which you should be doing anyway.

No leaking

Coming from England, I was used to Lillets. OB are the closest thing to them, as they both expand sideways instead of just absorbing. I've never understood tampax and used to have to wear a pad with them due to bleeding through (bit pointless, really). Also, detested the applicator as I've been pinched more than once by that (ouch!). I absolutely love that I can get boxes of several sizes through Amazon, as I can only buy one size in a box locally. The assorted sizes covers the cycle beautifully. And, as one other reviewer stated (from the few reviews I read), I can feel when I need to change. For me it gets a little uncomfortable, which does wake me up at night, so I can change and be good to go.

Comfortable

o.b. are basically German engineering in the form of a feminine product. They are, hands down, the most comfortable tampons I have used (and I tried a lot). Their outside is smooth and they don't fuzzy up (meaning, they don't leave you feeling like you'll eventually have to cough up cotton hairballs). Also, they hold their shaped when soaked with blood and are easy to remove. Most times, you actually don't feel they are there. Sure, o.b. have no applicator, but are those really needed?

Better For Environment

Not only are these better for the environment, but they are so small and compact that you can fit them in a small purse! Super simple and work great. I will never go back to other tampons.
