Tampax pearl, Playtex Gentle Glide, or Playtex Sport!?

Question

okay haha here goess:

okay i just started using tampons for the first time my last period. i used the playtex gentle glide lites and regulars. i normally don't bleed a lot so i use the lites at the beginning and end of my period. i only usually use the regulars 2 days out of my period. i use a lott more lites than regulars. i heard that tampax pearl is very good and so is playtex sport. i ordered a playtex sport and tampax pearl sample about 8 weeks ago so it should be coming any day now. okay so here are my questions:

-okay so what brand do you use and why?

-lites don't come in playtex sport so do you think i can use two different brands during the same period?

-when i change out my tampon, should it be really bloody or how much white should be seen on it when you take it out?

thanks i'll definitely pick the best answer!

Answer 1

I use the playtex sport, but that's because it's the only one that actually covers me, and I don't leak as bad. I have a VERY heavy flow, so I use the supers the most out of my periods. I absolutely hate the tampax pearls, they are the most uncomfortable tampons I have ever used, and they were my first. After I tried the sport, I fell in love.

But since your period is light, I would stick with the playtex gentle glide, because it seems to work for you. If you'd like to try the playtex sport, and see if the absorbancy is right for you, then make sure you have other kind on hand, in case you don't like them. Same goes for the tampax pearl. you just have to find one that works for you [:

There should be no white, and be covered in blood, but not like dripping or something. Enough to where the tampon slides out easily, but not to where you exercise and it feels like it's gonna fall out, you know?

Good luck with everything, and I hope I answered all of your questions.

Answer 2

-Playtex Sport

-Yeah, your v****a can't tell the difference and if it could it wouldn't be offended that you're mixing brands

-Usually theres more blood at the bottom side of the tampon where it was touching the back of your v****a. Common sense because its gravity. There shouldn't be toooo much but yeah I do get some white as will.

tampax

Answer 4

playtex gentile glide and this knew tampax tampon that fits in your hand so that you can sneak it out of a room that  your in and you dont have to make it noticable that you have your period. i  like both brands... and yeah you can switch between 2 different brands if you have too... and its totally normal if the whole thing is red or if some of its white... it just means you left it in longer one time than the other... or you just have a really heavy flow

hope i helped =]

Answer 5

I absolutley ADORE Playtex Slimfits (and sometimes use gentle glide), but I'm heavier and leak a little with regular. (But i should be using Heavy anyways so its my own fault). I use them because I'm a slim girl, and they're small but are so absorbant!

Yeah of course you can! Use as many as you want/

It should be more bloodier. Every 4-6 hours is good. I do every 6, but don't forget that you shouldn't keep it in longer then 8 :)

Answer 6

If you give a little tug on the string and your tampon moves easily its ready to change...if it stays firmly in place leave it there another hour or two....some girls like to change everytime they use the loo others leave it for 4 hours or whatever suits them.  If you are getting alot of tampons that are hardly used its a good idea to switch to a smaller size. Also if you get a leak its a good idea to change.  You can use whatever brands of tampons you like mix and match if you like.

Answer 8

playtex sport. they have great all around protection and they feel more comfy

Answer 9

I use Playtex sport because I find they hold more which means they need to be changed less often.Yes I'm sure its fine if you use two different brands on the same period. It depends on your flow, the kind of tampon (brand wise) and the thickness of it( such as super or regular).

Hope this helps.

Answer 10

Well i love playtex sport and yes you can use two different tampons during the same period. Just use the sports during your heavier days and your light during your light days. You should always change your tampon every 4 to 6 hours because if you leave it it any longer it's not healthy. Don't stress. But yea i use playtex sport and have not had a problem.
