For tampon users: Any tampon brand that uses safe ingredients? I use Tampax pearl and it kind of irritates me. So, I’m looking elsewhere. All comments are greatly appreciated.

    OB. Doesn’t come with an applicator so they’re small, cheaper, and create less waste. I’ve never had a problem with insertion.

    Cora organic cotton ones are great

    Your question was specifically about tampons but you may want to consider a cup.

    Converted tampon user for the last 15 years and never gone back. I wish I would have put my tampon money in a jar like smokers do when they quit. It’s at least 500$ per year.

    August is an online brand I’d recommend

    I prefer Playtex Sport over Tampax Pearl

    I absolutely second OB. They’re the only tampons that ever worked for me

    I now use a disc primarily, but previously I was pretty happy with L tampons, especially their multi absorbency packs. Definitely made for people with lighter flows though.

    I do NOT like Tampax pearl either so you’re not alone. I really like Playtex tampons, they make ones with organic cotton (but it’s sort of hard to find)

    OB tampons are great if you don’t have short fingers, a high cervix, or mobility issues. (I just can’t get the darn things in deep enough and they scratch the hell out of me without the applicator)

    Would be good to know your location as different products are available in different places.

    But I’m wondering if you’re using an applicator and that’s what is bothering you. Where I live it’s difficult to even find tampons with applicators, and it’s not really any more difficult to insert tampons without an applicator anyway, I’m not sure why they’re still so popular.

    OB, or Natracare if you want that organic chlorine free stuff, and if you’re worried about no applicator, the Dame Co reusable applicator is fabulous.

    I’m so sorry, this is entirely off topic but I misread the title as “Tampon Races” and had an immediate mental image of a “Pooh sticks” style game, racing two tampons floating down a river 😅

    Ditch the tampons and get period pants, absolute game changer!

    Wuka & Modibodi are great brands.
