I will never switch brands again. I've found the tampon that works for me. The magic little absorbent string saves your underpants from any little spots. Overall, these are comfortable and effective.

The string on these makes all the difference.
I must say that after trying just about every type of brand of tampon out there, Tampax Pearl is the only one i can rely on to not leak. There are instances when it does, but that is only when it can't hold anymore in, which is rare -- and if this happens Ultra is the way to go.
Another plus is the applicator, which is plastic and so much easier to use than the paper cardboard ones other brand have.
I must say i have found the one that works for me and the price on here is hard to beat.

In general, these are good tampons, easy to insert and comfortable. I don't like that they have a plastic applicator and wrapper though, and would prefer something biodegradable. They are also one of the most expensive brands on the market, and frankly I think it's ridiculous for something that women have to continually buy for health reasons. It is obvious that the company makes more money off of these tampons because they are trying to get everyone to convert to them, rather than using their more affordable and environmentally friendly cardboard ones.

I might buy these if a young girl who is new to using tampons (I remember what it was like using one for the first time, using a plastic applicator is helpful in that case). But for those of use who have used them for years and know what we're doing, I find the plastic applicator unnecessary and wasteful.
