Good and bad features These tampons have definite pros and cons. Pros: They are very tiny which makes them perfect for your purse. You don't have to worry about uncomfortable application because there is no applicator. Cons: Because there is no applicator, they can be a little messier to insert (not that big of a deal) but if you don't insert them just right, they don't absorb very well, and I even had one start to come out. Ultimately, I gladly keep these in my purse for emergencies, but this isn't my regular go-to tampon.

O.b. Pro comfort....not for me... I received these free to try for my honest opinion. I gave these many tries throughout 2 periods and did not like them. They constantly felt there I was always aware of them . The material used to make the tampon was different then my current one I do not think I'd like it even if it had an applicator

Discreet and comfortable! These are probably my favorite tampons that I've used. There is NO applicator, which makes for a convenient on-the-go size and is environmentally friendly. People have asked if it gets messy, but I have to say that surprisingly, it doesn't. They have a different feel but there is no mess to speak of.

Hippie Friendly I love this brand. They are applicator free, so for some, that's an uncomforting feeling. But there is so much less waste thrown away, so the are 'Hippie Friendly' as i like to say. Storing them at home or on the go is easy, they are very discrete. And they are actually very comfortable.

Love/hate relationship I am really conflicted on these tampons.. I LOVE that there is minimal packaging and super compact...but inserting them is kind of a biotch...especially if you experience dryness during your flow. They dont really stay in place for that long unless you reallly shove em in there at the right angle. (Sorry to be graphic, but hey youve been there..) These are something I just stash in the bottom of my purse for emergencies. I want to love this product but idk.. ill stick with Kotex Naturals.

I wasn't a huge fan of these. The lack of an applicator really turned me off, as I a prefer ones with an applicator. I do like that they're discreet and easy to conceal in a pocket or purse.

Loyal to this brand Best tampons. It can be an adjustment if you're used to having an applicator but I have found these are so great and don't leak. No applicator and minimal wrapping is much better for the environment, too which is a nice bonus.

not for me I am not a fan of ob, I think the main reason is that theres no applicator.

Give them a try! There is usually only one brand of tampons I will consider, so I was a little wary of trying this new (to me) brand, especially since it doesn't have an applicator. The first application was different...however, it was very comfortable to wear, and I didn't have any problems with leakage. Since this tampon doesn't have an applicator, there is very little waste involved, which is much better than the environment. The only problem I have is that I like to wash my hands before AND after I use this type of tampon, so these are not the best to use when you are in hurry or in public.

Discreet and convenient I was hesitant when I first tried these since they have no applicator, but I really love them. They aren't messy at all like you would think. It is so convenient to not have an applicator, plus they are very discreet.

A bit different I don't really like the whole no applicator thing, but I understand that it is less waste. They keep me well protected without any leakage problems. I will try again to see if I will like it more the second time around.

They're OK but not my favorite At first these are very hard to insert since there is no applicator, but once used to them they are simple to use. They are messy to insert and personally for me they don't stay in place and leak. The only good things about these are they are discreet and better for the environment.

Great product, no complaints! Very discrete and no odor! Easy to put on! I only use tampons if I am going swimming or doing any exercise activity! I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Hated them!, hate the idea that there is no.applicator.

Effective product but.... I recently tried o.b. Tampons for the first time. Let me start off by saying that it was weird using a tampon with no applicator. The first few tampons went in the trash because they were inserted wrong and just "didn't feel right". After I got the hang of it, they were effective in that they controlled my menstrual flow. I will probably not be buying these again because I prefer tampons with applicators. One thing I liked about them is that they are discreet and have minimal packaging which is good for the environment.
