Tampax Radiant Pearl Tampons

this product didn't absorb as well as my other always tampon, so I wasn't impressed at all.
fancy packaging isn't enough for me to want to buy a box of tampons

I thought the packaging was cute and useful, with the sticker to seal everything up. However, the packaging alone wasn’t able to sell me on the tampons.

I (personally) prefer to use tampons with a slimmer applicator and for lighter flow, such as Tampax Slender and Tampax Pearl Lites. The Radiant tampons are just too absorbent for my needs, so it gets a bit uncomfortable to remove. I’m sure they’re great for those with heavier flow, but it’s just not for me. I prefer using the Always Radiant pads instead.

Note: I received this product for free to review as part of ChickAdvisor's Review Club, and have tested it over a one week period.

I tried the Tampax Radiant Pearl Tampons. Tampax is a trusted name and quality product and this new style did not disappoint. They were easy to use, comfortable to insert, and had great absorbency.

i like to use tampons when i have a light period, or at the end of a heavy period. these ones were amazing. they were comfortable. to be honest i have a bit of an uncomfortable time when i insert tampons. but these were great bc they didnt hurt at all and were comfortable when inserting. i loved that the packaging was resealable so that its much cleaner to dispose. i loved these tampons and since they absorbed pretty well, im probably going to use them much more than pads. i especially loved the braided cord bc its much stronger than just the string tampons usually have, it gave me a sense of security that the string wont get pulled out by accident and then id be stuck with a tampon in my "ahem ahem"

I don't normally wear pads, liners or even tampons - I'm a DivaCup kind of girl! - but I was willing to give these a try.

Before I discovered the DivaCup, I used to go for the cheapest cardboard store brand I could find, but wow, does the plastic applicator makes an amazing difference! It's sleek and smooth, easy to handle, easy to insert, and just really comfortable overall.

The level of absorbtion was OK although it can't beat my beloved DivaCup.

i received the tampax radiant pearl tampons from the chick advisor product review club, I was really impressed with these tampons, first of the applicator has a kind of groove to place your fingers for easier application, I found that they were as very absorbant, and I will definately buy them agian. Its the small changes like the applicater and the wrapper which make disposal quick and mess free that set these tampons above the rest!

I received this product free from the chick advisor product review club...and i have to say that i love it! My usual brand is the plain tampax cardboard and occasionally the pearl line. I find these tampons far superior to the cardboard ones, but very similar to the pearl...with the exception of the flashier packaging and individual wrappers. I loved the wrappers!!! Made disposal discreet and clean...the wrappers are bulkier however. They fit comfortably, easy insertion, and generally did what i expected them to do. I would buy these...altho i do find them a tad over priced.

I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and was thoroughly impressed. These are by far the best tampons I have used. I have used Tampax brand for many years, and generally go with the Compak line, but have recently been using the Pearl line.

The new Radiant tampons have a sleek and smooth applicator which is very comfortable to insert. The tampon itself is sort of crescent shaped, my guess is to better conform with the female anatomy. I like that the tampon has a braided cord - similar to the Pearl line, to prevent leaks for a little extra longer than the average tampon. I had no leaks while using this tampon, a first! It is sort of weird that the braided cord goes blue though, I thought something funky was going on at first :/

The thing that I like the most about the Radiant tampons, and the only real difference I noticed between the Pearl and the Radiant lines (besides funky colours and packaging) was the resealable package for the tampon. Sometimes I find if I throw my tampons in the bottom of a purse or backpack, the packaging can tear and the tampon can come out.... has lead to some awkward moments and wasted tampons. However! With this new packaging, which seems thicker and somewhat quilted, this has not happened, and even if it did the sticker allows for the package to be resealed. Its also handy for putting the used applicator in. The box that the tampons came in was easy to open and stylish. The only way that these tampons could improve is if if were shorter and more compact like the Compak line, as they are hard to fit in small purse pockets.

I will be buying these tampons in the future if the price is right. They are very similar to the Pearl line of tampons, the only real difference I noticed was the packaging of the individual tampon, and the flashier box. If they are cheaper or the same price, I will definately buy this product.
