Having a cardboard applicator is good but I have found that the tampon itself is not that great with leakages and lack of absorption despite regular changing.

Tampax tampons are so easy to use with the applicator. I prefer these ones to the Tampax ‘pearl’ because these ones have a cardboard/paper applicator whilst the pearl ones have one made of plastic.

Whoever thought of tampons with applicators is a genius. So easy and much more hygienic to use and the applicators can be flushed down the toilet.
