Kotex

Only brand I can really trust. They are kind of bulky and seem more like just a glob of cotton on a string than other brands that have a distinct shape, but this is what works best for me. With other brands, leaks find their way around the nooks and crannies of the tampon shape, but Kotex just kind of forms to you and provides a more snug fit than the rectangular balloon shape of Playtex or the flatter, ridged rectangular shape of Tampax. Kotex plugs you up good! Also, they are not excessively long like regular Tampax and Tampax-type generic tampons. After a little while those actually start to come out which is extremely uncomfortable...I know I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I've never had any problems with Kotex though, and usually they are priced lower than the other name brands!

These things are like giant hot dogs. They are not good for innocent 13 year old girls.

I like the fact it contains more cotton than other brands, but worry about the applicator and other waste.

The only brand I use. Easiest "application." No frills, simple tampons. Just wear a pantiliner underneath and you'll be fine. I do that everyimte I use tampons. It insures no leaks.

When I opened the box, boy did my eyes POP. These things are huge! Big tampons aren't great for little women. I tried them anyways, and they didn't even work too well. Constant leakage, even when I was using the right absorbency.

Don't laugh, but many boxers have used a kotex underneath their handwraps to protect their hands during training, especially when hitting the heavybag, it does work. Ali was famous for using these. You can file this under useless and obscure trivia.

Great value and great products. The only brand that I can trust.

I'm not sure if these have changed any since the last time that I have used them (about 4 years ago), but I'm not too pleased. They're really bulky to carry around, and they leaked for me. Meh.
