    The packaging was bizarre to me, I usually just discretely wrap anything up in toilet paper and that's fine with me. Seems like having to put it back in the pocket is a bit messy and too much for something like this. I also feel like the colour of the applicator was a bit odd - white and light colours go better with feminine products.

    The actual effectiveness of this product is average. It didn't fan out like other brands, which I prefer as I lead an active life and I felt like I was worried about leaking. I often purchase a super absorbancy due to this fear. There's nothing worse than worrying about an embarrasssing leak situation.

    Overall, I would say this product had way too much thought put into the packaging and not enough thought put into the effectiveness of the product. A plain package with a really solid product that protects from leaks would sell me more than all of these bells and whistles.

    I received this product to review from Chick Advisor.

    I love the packaging of this product, though I feel like it's a tad bit over the top. I mean it's not like I am going to put it out on display so to me it doesn't need to be this designed and pretty for me to want to use it.

    I have a flow that is generally too light to even use tampons without it being uncomfortable. This time was no exception. I found them too thick for my light flow and it took a bit of time and effort and I didn't feel like it was comfortable at all during both inserting and removal. They are definitely way too absorbent for my needs. If they came in a smaller version I might consider trying them again. I'm not sure a plastic applicator is as comfortable to try and use compared to cardboard but it's hard to judge when neither is a comfortable fit for your flow.

    The resealable wrapper is great to conceal them in when you dispose of them. I live with a male roommate so it's definitely a plus to be able to try and hide it to keep him from being grossed out.

    Overall I really don't see me switching from pads anytime soon unless they come out with something thinner for lighter flows. I just find pads quicker and easier when I really don't have a huge need for a tampon in the first place.

    Note: I received this product as a Product Review Club tester for Chick Advisor.

    You may be looking at my scores and wondering why I said I'd never buy something I scored so high, well, there's a reason for that but let's break down the product first.

    The Tampax pearl tampon line is a very consistent product; it's an applicator-based tampon that does it's job well, doesn't leak, has a firm string and doesn't disintegrate. I've tried the product before in a slightly different style and I know it's a good choice.

    But here's my complaint. The product uses SO MUCH PACKAGING it's outrageous. I understand that some women are sensitive about their periods and need discrete disposal to counter any uncomfortable feelings they have about tampons, but there is just way too much effort put into having floral outlays on the applicator. I don't CARE if it is pretty, it needs to be functional first. I don't generally use applicator based tampons because I find them hard to just slip in my pocket (what can be more discrete than o.b.? But this one has the most packaging of a tampon I've seen in this market and it's just too much.

    I received these product from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club to try for free.
    The packaging is very attractive. They are fairly easy to insert. One of the great features is the resealable package to dispose of the tampons discreetly. Overall I liked these a fair bit and would probably be trying them again and would recommend them to others as well.

    I received this product free to test as part of the Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.

    The packaging is eye catching and super cute. I wear pads more than I wear tampons so I was excited to try this product. The applicator is easy to use and made insertion easy. One of my best features is that each tampon has a resealable wrapper so you can discreetly dispose of it.
    They absorb well and I experienced no leaks at all. I had a worry free, pleasant experience with these.

    They are the most comfortable, easy to use tampons I have used till date and I will continue to use them. They are different from all other tampons I have tried and I would highly recommend them.

    For this review, it is probably important to note that I was blessed with the easiest periods ever, so my flow is usually too light to tampons. Having said that, I did use these this go-around, and have mixed feeling about the results..
    I love the packaging of the Tampax/Always Radiant collection, but it probably won't ever see the light of day again because I stash them away in my bathroom. So, as much as I'd LIKE to say them I wasn't at little it excited that the tampons are purple... I'd be lying.
    They insert easily and comfortably, and were more than absorbant enough for my light periods. Removal was a little unpleasant, because in my case, they were probably too much protection.
    They definitely prevented any leakage, but I would NOT recommend them for girls with light menses.

    Thank you to the Chick Advisor Product Review Club for choosing me to try and review this item for free.

    I got to try these Tampax Radiant Pearl Tampons through the Product Review Club.

    First off I received these to try for free from the Chickadvisor Club.

    As other people have mentioned, the packaging for these are wonderful. I really love how they've made the packing really bright and fun. I also love the fact that the individual wrappers for the tampons come with a resealable tab for when you throw them out.

    The issue I have with these tampons is the applicator. I find the plastic applicator that comes with these. I have a hard time trying to get the tampons to come out of the plastic applicator and stay put. Everything else about these tampon is wonderful. I love how absorbent these are and how you don't have to worry about any leakages and how you don't feel them at all.

    I will certainly be buying these again and recommending these to others. I just wish the applicator was easier to use.


    Thanks PRC!

    I was able to try these Tampax Radiant Peal Tampons for free as being a member of the Chick Advisor.

    I love tampons. I buy so many, that they are everywhere!! I have my favorite ones, but when i was given the opportunity to try these, i was stoked! And the best part, they arrived in the mail at the perfect time.

    They are so easy to insert, and the no mess packaging to dispose of them is a blessing. I know i hate putting the dirty applicator in the garbage for the world to see.

    They held my heavy flow wonderfuly, no leaks either. I find these to be far superior to the regular tampax compact that i buy all the time.

    I will always be buying these, and leaving my old choice for emergencies only.

    First off I received these to try for free from the Chickadvisor Club.

    So first things first....the packaging. The packaging is fantastic. It's extremely bright and would definitely catch my eyes in the store. The packaging of the individual tampons is great too. I love that there's a resealable sticker so you can dispose of the the applicator and whatnot by putting it back in the package.

    The tampons themselves.....had great, and not so great aspects. The absorbency was flawless and I loved the idea of the leakguard braid just in case. These were super comfortable wear and I never had to worry about leaking. I also really liked the easy grip applicator.....HOWEVER.....I'm not a huge fan of plastic applicators in comparison to cardboard ones. I find them less comfortable to use......and these tampons were no different. It really was a shame because they do work sooo well......but I probably wouldn't' buy them again for myself unless they made them available with the cardboard applicators.

    Overall.....a flawless product.....with a not so great applicator....at least for me. If you have no preference between plastic and cardboard these work great and I'd definitely recommend you give them a shot! They left me feeling confident (in having no leaks) and fresh.....which is great when nature is trying to make you feel not so fresh! lol
