I recently received a sample of Playtex Sport, and decided to go ahead and try something new. Thus far I had used the same kind of tampons that I fell in love with after trying a sample of back in 2002 – Tampax Pearl.
I wish I could report on comfort and absorbency, but sadly I did not get that far. The finger grip of the Playtex Sport is a perfect circle, and even with the lines designed to help with gripping, I could not grip the applicator and push in the plunger. After ruining two tampons, I gave up and tossed the whole sample in the trash.
Bottom line? I would not buy these, and I’ll stick to what works – Tampax Pearl (review coming soon).
Hello, and welcome to In My Bag! My name is Jenn, and this is my product review blog. In My Bag is where I showcase my reviews of many of the products and services I buy and use, as well as the occasional trials, coupons and freebies that come my way. Interested in learning more? 
I was reading the about section and had to skip to the ‘beginning’ of this blog to confirm my suspicions- a Pearl girl! I used to use cardboard applicators, because they are more environmentally friendly, but I would throw away so many unused ones for exactly your complaint on these- I couldn’t get them to WORK! I believe I met Pearls through a sample as well. They’re the next best thing to -not- having your period!
