Compact design is great, but will only appeal to you if you already like Tampax products. I'm just not a fan of Tampax products. They always feel too long and cause irritation. I do like the compact design and they work at least as well as most other tampons, absorbency wise , but I could never stand to wear one longer than 3 hours or so. If you already like the way Tampax products work, the compact design of these will make them even better for you. If you already know you don't like Tampax tampons, this design is not any more comfortable or effective. ***I received a free box of these from Shespeaks in exchange for my honest feedback .

I didn't like them I received a free sample of Tampax Pearl tampons to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I didn't like them, they were to small for me and I lost them a couple a times in my purse. Also the if you forget to click then they fit

I received a free sample of Tampax Pearl tampons to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I like that the packaging is small, but the applicator is unreliable. I had a hard time using them.

Unreliable I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I love compact tampons for the sheer discreet factor. However, multiple tampons were dysfunctional. I'd click them properly, but on insertion it would unclick. I wouldn't use again simply for that fact. They weren't reliable. They were fairly absorbant for a regular, though.

I received my free pearl pocket package from SheSpeaks! I don't normally use tampons but it was and easy process and the packaging was so cute!!

Did Not Hold UP I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I don't consider myself a heavy bleeder, I've always gotten on very well with regular absorbency tampons. However, with Tampax Pocket Pearl, I was leaking by the second hour of having it in. I was so excited to try these, they are so cute and colorful and the insertion wand is smooth as heck. But if it were not for my black "period" underwear I would have had bloody drawers every day of my period.

They were nice. They are very discreet. The only problem I had was that the tip of the applicator hurt my hoohaa a bit. They were also a bit uncomfortable.

Applicator failed multiple times I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions.. I am a loyal Tampax user so I was thrilled to try the new Pocket Pearl tampons. The packaging is attractive, the smaller size makes them perfect for pockets or small purses. In this case though the packaging is the best part of this product. After the third applicator failed to stay snapped in place while I was trying to insert it I gave up on these. I made sure to "click" them into place but had multiple tampons collapse back to the original shape while trying to use them, they don't seem to stay securely snapped in place. Hopefully this will be remedied as I'd love to have pocket size Tampax that work.

Product didnt work for me I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions.? I liked this product for the most part however i had some issues at first getting them to fit right. I think by them being so small it makes it harder. I think them being smaller would make for a more comfortable fit however for me it really wasnt.

Not very comfortable Disclaimer: I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. While I like the product and it's absorbancy, I do not like the the fact it doesn't come with the long wand applicator which causes it to not go deep inside. Twice I tried and both times It felt awkward. I regularly use other tampons varieties by Tampax and love them just not this particular variety/style.

Not for me I have used Tampax products before but I am NOT a fan of these Tampax Pocket Pearl Tampons. So let's start off with what I do like. The are small and discreet. I can easily grab 1 and head to the ladies room without everyone noticing what I have and not have to carry my purse around with me all the time. The wrapper is pretty quite, I hate the whole world hearing me unwrap. Now for what I don't like. They are supposed to be easy to use just click into place but these just didn't seem to want to stay. As soon as I would insert and click it would go back down. Wasted more of these trying to get them to work then I actually got to use. After much trying I got 1 to work but afraid that it still wasn't in like it should be. I didn't want to risk having an accident so I decided to take it out and opt for my usual protection. These are definitely not something I would use again. I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions

It's a No for me unfortunately~ I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I use Tampax Pearl (the regular kind) all the time. It's the only kind I use. So, in turn, I thought I would like Tampax Pocket Pearl. However, there are a few things I don't like. I don't feel as protected as when I use the standard Tampax Pearl. Also, I don't feel comfortable applying Pocket Pearl. Lastly, I normally put the applicator back into the wrapper, which is quick and easy with the standard Tampax Pearl. However, with Pocket Pearl, you have to rip the wrapper to get it out leaving a blunt edge to toy with to try to put the applicator back in it to wrap it and throw it away. It's just not as convenient as I thought it would be.

Looks aren't everything I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. After using these tampons for a few days, I won't be purchasing them. Carrying a smaller package may be slightly more convenient in certain circumstances (couldn't think of any for myself, but I did for my teen) however, if the trade off is having to Macgyver an applicator, I'm out. It clicked in just fine, but wouldn't stay clicked. It took me a couple tries with the first tampon and I never really felt like it was inserted all the way. The space you grip the applicator to plunge isn't big enough. And finally, I just don't like the shape of the actual tampon itself; it's uncomfortable to remove. I did like easily the packaging opened. My message to Tampax would be this -- why spend so much time & effort dressing up a tampon when functionality & security is the problem? Is the colorful packaging & colored applicator cute? I guess... Does color & a smaller size make the product better than what's already out there? Nope.

Uncomfortable and lots of plastic I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. After using this product for a few days I have noticed some things that I like and dislike about these tampons. I did not like all the plastic and packaging, personally I don't care about how a tampon looks, I just want them to be comfortable and not leak. These tampons were somewhat uncomfortable and difficult to remove due to their winged design. I did like how discreet these were but that was about it. The applicator did not work properly either. Overall, I did not like this tampon. Too much useless packaging and didn't fit right. I will not use these next time around.

Not reliable I received a free sample of Tampax to try from SheSpeaks and the following are my own opinions. I really wanted to like these, but the applicator did not function properly and I wasted them because they were not reliable. I like the brand, but these definitely need a more functional applicator.
