o.b. Tampons
I’ve now had a few days to try out o.b. Tampons, and I think I’m in love. As I mentioned, I’ve been dealing with applicator issues with my previous preferred choice of tampons, Tampax Pearl. And after a point I wondered why I’m buying tampons with applicators that don’t always work. If I’m going to be using my fingers to insert a tampon sans its applicator, why should I buy the applicator tampons to begin with? Hence the switch to o.b. tampons.
So… o.b. tampons. As far as tampons go, they’re certainly comfortable. I picked up a multi-pack, which contains regulars, regulars and super-pluses. I’ve been using the supers, but switched to a regular this evening, and they’re both quite comfortable. As far as insertion goes, it’s just a matter of wriggling the firmly-attached string around to create a small indentation to place the tip of my index finger in. You use your thumb and middle finger to help guide the tampon in and into the right position and at the proper angle (aim towards your spine, in case you don’t know!), and then your firmly-planted index finger to push the tampon in to a comfortable spot. It’s really not as messy as you might think it would be, though I obviously wash my hands afterward.
Absorption-wise, I’d go so far as to say that o.b. tampons even have Tampax beat.
Psst… don’t they look like bullets?
