TMI - Tampon question?

Can you recommend a tampon brand that actually works? LOL!

I've been using Platex Gentle Glide for sooooo many years and never had a problem. For a long time now, I'm noticing that I'm bleeding through them and leaking Chat Icon but only using half the tampon? I don't understand how part of it is not being used sort of speak? Chat Icon

Maybe it's the way the tampons are made I don't know? I always think, wow I need to change it, but then notice it's only half used?

Is there a good tampon that actually works? Chat Icon Chat Icon

It's going to depend on your body.
I have good luck with the Target version of Tampax pearl.

Tampax Pearl works best for me but to be honest when I'm at my heaviest, which is usually day 2, I use a pad. I just feel more secure that way.

Other then that, Tampax Pearl has always worked well for me.

I've had luck with Kotex super plus, or whatever the heavy one is called.

Last 3 months or so I have been using Kotex. Switched from playtex, which I used since I got my period. No issues. They are the ones in the small box, neon colored and you need to pull the stick out all the way to get it right. It needs to click into place. I wasted a few by not reding directions. Chat Icon

Was it after you had a baby? I'm noticing my DD messed my insides up somehow cause the tampons do the same thing for me and they are pretty uncomfortable now.
