Meh I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. Love the size but the applicator was so so. Not my favorite product line for them. But still love the company.

Tampax Pocket Pearl Review I love the discreet size and cute packaging of these but can't get past the terrible applicator. The tampon would constantly come out of the applicator and was way too much trouble to use. I'd love to see that feature of the tampon get some improvement.

Tampax pocket pearl I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I thought these were uncomfortable and not very protective.

Not reliable I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I like that the tampon is pocket sized and easy to use. However, the Pocket Pearl was not reliable for me. Even when my flow was not heavy and the tampon was not fully saturated, the tampon leaked and I needed to use a backup pad, which completely defeats the purpose of a tampon

I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. This tampon actually slid OUT of my vagina, twice. Once while peeing, another time at the gym doing squats. I don't have a loose vagina; I am young and have NEVER had this happen to me. I'm not sure what's wrong with this product, or why it slides out when it gets wet. I personally would not buy. I prefer the tampons that don't come with an applicator, just straight tampon. Less packaging wasted. I don't care for the bright colored packing, either. It's less discreet when maneuvering the tampon in public (as compared to a white eraser-like object). 2/5. 1 star added because the tampon didn't actually leak.

Great tampon - Cranky Applicator When it comes to the absorbency for a regular flow this tampon works stellar , however the applicator is chronically unreliable. Most times it got stuck and wouldn't push the tampon in resulting in having to try with a second tampon and applicator. If you are in a bind this would be a major inconvenience. I am a big fan of tampax products and a lifelong user of their regular applicator tampons, but the pocket applicators really need some work to make them reliably function. Personally i wouldnt use the pocket version again until a fix is made. (FYI - I was sent a free pack of tampax pocket pearl regular tampons from SheSpeaks! )

I have never used tampons before, but these were really easy to use. I also loved how small they were, because it made them so much more easier to take with me without taking up too much room in my purse. The packaging is so cute too. However, my flow is irregular, so it is heavier than even a normal heavy flow. Therefore, I cannot really use these during my whole menstrual cycle. They do come in handy as I am finishing up, but they cannot handle my flow when I just started it. I totally love product, but I think it will work better for women who have normal and/or light periods.

Personally, this item did not work well for me. The tampons didn't absorb barely any blood. However, I will give credit where credit is deserved. The packaging was awesome. It saved a ton of space.

There are definitely ups and downs with any new product until you really get used to it or find the perfect one for you. After receiving a free box from SheSpeaks, I was able to try Tampax Pocket Pearl. The compact size is great and it fits in any makeup bag or purse or diaper bag and I love that I can discreetly carry them on you. I didn't like how the string hung though, it was almost too long and moved around uncomforable.

Pros: Fun color, compact size, smooth applicator Cons: Did not fit very comfortably for me, tended to leak even when the tampon was not saturated

I loved that these tampons could fit in my purse, backpack, and are small enough to hold without being noticed! This would be the only reason I purchased these though. I wasn't a fan of the plastic applicator. The end of the applicator pulls out and clicks into place, hence the great small packaging, but it impacts the insertion of the tampon. However, I am not normally a tampon user either. I prefer the use of a diva cup over tampons. I would recommend these to buy to keep in your purse or bag as they are small and discreet, but I'm not sure this is going to be your go to tampon all the time.

Tampax Pearl tampons are by far my favorite brand. I am very happy that they came out with a compact size. I like that these are discreet and come in adorable packaging. They are easy to store in my my purse or make up. The only thing i don't like about them is the applicator. I feel like the click portion is isn't long enough for proper insertion. I find it's easiest to take it out of the applicator and insert like an OB tampon which I don't really like doing but it works.

It is really compact, fits very well in small pocket or purse but I really hate the applicator, it was so hard to use. It didn't work for me.

i normally buy the bigger tampons but these are great cant feel them and they hold very good

On first glance, I thought these tampons were nicely packaged and look discreet enough to carry around with me. However, after using them, I found the applicator really difficult to use and wasted too many tampons trying to get the applicator to work right. Every time I pushed the end up, it still wouldn't release the tampon. I only was able to make about 3 or 4 of these work for me. Also, the ones that did work, were very uncomfortable and I could feel them with every move I made. If I had a choice to purchase them, I probably wouldn't. Every other Tampex product I've used, I've really liked with the exception of these. If I were Tampex, I might try altering these a little bit more to make them more comfortable and easier to use.
