I'm really shocked at how many positive reviews there are about this product. I'm thinking maybe mine was just a fluke? I always use Tampax Pearl. I tried Kotex and hated them because the tampons often got stuck in the applicator and it was...messy and gross. They also leaked through easily (I do have heavy periods but this was never a problem with Tampax Pearl). Well my husband picked these up for me by accident so I gave them a try. I HATE them. So far I've used 8 and 3 of the applicators completely broke. The end part you push popped off when I tried to push it in. On top of that I have leaked through them even on light days, it's like it is too small and doesn't conform properly? They just seem cheap and flimsy to me. I will go back to my Tampax Pearl, but I had to review this because my husband lost the receipt and I wish we could get our money back for these cheap pieces of crap because tampons are not cheap, but I guess I'll suck it up and accept it.

I normally use Tampax Pearl but they were out of my usual absorbancy so I tried the Playtex Sport, maybe I got a bad box because these were not very absorbant. In fact it was a horrible experience and I won't be purchasing these again.

These Tampons are horrible. I always use tampax brand and got a free sample of this Sport type. I had horrible leaking. A friend at work at the same thing happen to her. I tried them again a few months later at a friends house when i got my friend unexpectedly. Again, leaking.

Horrible!!! Does not open 360 like it says, actually doesn't open at all, which is probably why it leaked so bad. I usually use Kotex, but my mom bought these because she did not know, well I figured I would go ahead and give them a try. The very first 1 I put in leaked within 30 minutes, so I thought maybe it was a bad one so I tried another, nope it wasn't bad, it just doesn't work. So I took them back to the store and got the ones I normally use. If I were you I would stay away from these, even the tampax pearl ones are better!

This tampons are quite comfortable, but they leak! What I mean is that yes, they keep the blood inside your body, but a pinkish fluid descents down the cord and gets on your panties. So it feels as if you have a urine leakage. And this happens the first hour of wearing them. I tried them a couple of times in different stages of my period, the same sad result. My friend who is a different complexion than I am, also complains about the same issue. Probably they are suitable for young girls. But for women who gave birth they are no good.

Horrible...not my normal brand(usually tampax girl) but figured hey i'll give it a try it looked promising...WRONG false advertising!!! It does not open at all. I don't even get a heavy period and the regulars were a joke!! Never will i waste my money on Playtex again!!! Very disappointed!!i only even gave 1 star because it made me...it deserves 0 stars!!

The absorbancy for these tampons suck. I'm a Pearl girl.

If I could give this product 0 stars, I would. I have used Playtex products exclusively for over 20 years. I bought the Playtex Sport brand because it was on sale and I have faith in the brand. However, I am completely disappointed. They don't absorb, and I would require 2x what I normally would. I'm at the point where I am going to throw away two boxes of the 'Sport', just to go back to the regular tampons. Complete WASTE of money.

Worst tampons I've ever used. I normally use Tampax or U by Kotex but I decided to try these out - bad decision! They do no absorb AT ALL! I find myself changing it way too frequently and even having to change my clothes! Waste of money in my opinion.

I didn't like this brand when I first used it they were not comfortable and as absorbent as they could be.

If you want to bleed through then buy these! Hated these. If you have a heavy flow don't get them. I eaked out and bled everywhere. I don't really understand why they are sport tampons. They don't work as well as the regular ones.

Just nope! I always use Tampax, but picked these up because they were out at the store. I used them a few times and was not liking that they did not expand. Started a few days ago and had none other than these, thought I might as well use them. I swear to you, all I did was cough and ruined a pair of panties. These are bullet shaped and on the box show that they expand, however, they do not! They are bullet shaped going in and bullet shaped coming out. They do not absorb anything. I would rather makeshift some tp into a tampon and use it!

I personally don't like the playtex brand because the tampons are very short and dont seem to be effective at stopping leaks. And this is the case as well with the Playtex Sport tampons.

I hardly ever wear tampons but when i do i have turned to playtex sport. They have become my go to tampon. They are comfortable, easy to use, and clean.

These just cannot handle my periods. Even on light days, it seems that they leak after just a few short hours, though when I take them out they only absorbed down one side. And on my heavy days, they may be soaked through but it seems that they do not expand at all. The only person I know who actually likes this has very light periods.
