Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons with Triple Layer Protection, Super Plus, Fresh Scent - 36 Count (Pack of 2)

Have used this brand for many years. They’re the best but impossible to find in stores now. Thank goodness I can get them on Amazon!

Preferred brand already… lasting and comfort fit! Lol Protects like a gem!! Price is better than Walmart!

I don’t know what I will do when they stop making these tampons. Great fit

There is something off about the box I received! The tampons were hard as a rock, and did not absorb at all and I ended up leaking because of it. Even after wearing tampon for a few hours after taking it out the tampon had not "opened" up as on usually would to absorb and it was also still hard? It was very strange, I just threw them away and went to the store and got a different brand altogether

The product is a life saver on heavy days . I just hate how much people have raised the price !!!

I have used this product for 15+ years, it is the only tampon that works for my heavy periods. Super or Super Plus does nothing for me, has to be Ultra. In recent years they have become harder to find, and Amazon was the only place I could get them. Now there seems to be a shortage and the price has gone way up. As a result I have been forced to look for another brand to use because I also have fibroids so I need something that will provide protection. If anyone reading this is like me and has a heavy flow, do not buy this product until the price comes back down. Try Tampax Pearl Ultra instead. So far it is working for me. Plus I have been able to find them in stores.

I have menorrhagia and need Ultra tampons but I couldn't find a review anywhere comparing the specifics of the two Ultra tampons (w/applicators, I don't mess with O.B.) so I decided I would write one.I've been using Tampax Pearl Ultra and bought a box of these for comparison- so here's what I think:The applicator with these comes apart really easily- the plunger just falls out unless you keep your finger on the bottom of it, which is sort of hard for me to do because the applicator is long and I have small hands. --Now that I've been using these for a while, it's gotten easier but the plunger still sucks-- Conversely, the Tampax applicator plunger cannot fall out from the rest of the applicator.The Gentle Glide grip area is similar to the grip on the Tampax Radiant and is better than the grip area on the Tampax Pearl.I do like Playtex's slimmer applicator compared to thick one used by Tampax.The Playtex wrapper is apparently not made to be used to dispose of the application like Tampax wrappers are and is made of thinner material that (from past experience) tends to tear open when they are put in purses/backpacks.I really like that the Playtex tampon expands in all directions (hence the 360 name I guess).Tampax Pearl only expands on two sides.I haven't had any leaks with these after using them for nearly a full month. I have had leaks with Pearl Ultra, but I've using them for quite a while so that really isn't a fair comparison. With the Pearl I almost always wore a pad because of the leaks, I've been able to stop doing that.I think the lack of leaks is because the 360 design handles clots (a significant problem for me) much better.If they would just change the plunger on these so it doesn't fall out of the applicator, I would give these 5 stars.What I want is the Playtex Gentle Glide 360 tampon in the Tampax Radiant (not Pearl) applicator and wrapper but that's not going to happen.I've decided to change brands to the Playtex Gentle Glide 360 because a having superior tampon far outweighs having a somewhat flawed applicator and cheap wrappers.I really wish there were more Ultra tampon options available.I'm grateful Amazon offers this as a subscribe and save item, because it is much cheaper than buying it anywhere else, but I really wish they would let you sign up for more than one box a month.

I used to drive way out of my area to purchase these at Walgreens, FAITHFULLY. At one point -when they first hit the market. I could find them a little easier. But, I just assumed not too many women bleed like a gutted pig! I’m sorry for being graphic but, my cycles kept me a prisoner at home. A pad just was out of the question and gross. Given how heavy my cycles are. Plus with the paranoia of it all. I was afraid to sit on furniture. But, I lucked up found these and they can hold up to the task. Along with a overnight pantyliner. I can go about my normal routine. Without timing how long I can be out and if where I am going has a clean restroom to use. I now order these online and get them in a day. While my cycles are a little easier going but still, all over the place. In relation to flow. I just stick with this box. Medium to heavy: I know the Playtex Ultra will protect me. Forever a grateful customer!

Perfect and can't be found in regular stores! Still not enough for ladies with TOO HEAVY periods as I had so I asked doctor for the pill. But other than this, perfect product and if you buy bulk of it, you pay a very good price.

They have a strange consistency and not as absorbable as some of their competitors. Didn’t realise they included the applicator, that was probably my fault.

It is the only product that works for me on heavy days. Love this product!

Very great product for those of us in need. Wish I had these earlier in life.

This is so stiff and hard! I am truly scared to use this especially with the risk of TSS. It’s clearly a fake! Packaging looks weird. I am sorry I didn’t read the reviews from year 2020. Everyone clearly hated it! And it took forever to arrive! Jeez! 0 stars for this product if I could
