These Non-Applicator Tampons were the cheapest tampons in Sainsbury’s and they are from their own brand. I bought a box of 16 of the Super variety which are for a medium to heavy menstrual flow. For the price, I think these are not bad at all. I think the most important quality a tampon should have is its absorbency and whether it absorbs the menstrual fluid evenly, as opposed to leaking because the fluid has run down the side of it and straight out. I thought when it came to absorbency, that these tampons were pretty effective and I had no problems with leaks at all. I did have one problem with these though which
will probably make you laugh.
The tampons are individually wrapped in a easy to open, clear cellophane wrapping. You just hold it at either end and twist and the wrapper breaks easily in the middle so you can remove it. The main thing that lets these tampons down for me is that when you get them out of the wrapper, they look somewhat fluffy. I have tried other brands of non-applicator tampons that are definitely smoother and possibly have some coating on them to make them easier to insert. These Sainsbury’s tampons are compacted, like a Lil-let for example, but they are not quite as smooth. This leads me onto the problem I had with them.
