Cora Organic Applicator Tampons | Light/Regular Absorbency | 100% Cotton Core, Unscented, BPA-Free Compact Applicator | Leak Protection, Easy Insertion, Non-Toxic | 36 Count

These tampons are amazing! Very absorbent, and good quality. There is a small learning curve to “prep” the applicator, if you’ve only used grocery store brands. Smooth and discrete, and NO FRAGRANCES. Love that I can trust this brand to not add anything.

Okay, so I've used Tampax Pearl for 8+ years. The last year, I've had an issue with getting a very mild (just uncomfortable) yeast infection during my period. I thought it was just my body doing something weird...turns out it was more than likely the Tampax Pearl. I'm not sure why...dunno if they changed their product or maybe my body suddenly doesn't like it, but whatever it is, I just can't use Tampax anymore. After a year of struggling, starting probiotics for vaginal health, going to my doctor, and taking way more Diflucan than one person should, it hit me that maybe the tampon I was using was the issue. So I decided to try an organic tampon. After searching, I ran across Cora. I LOVE them. They're super comfortable, comparable absorbency to Tampax Pearl, it doesn't hurt when you take them out (even if they're not saturated), and best of all in my case, I did NOT develop a yeast infection this month during my period!! This is the first period in over a year that hasn't ended in a yeast infection and the ONLY thing I've changed is the brand of tampon.I was a little skeptical when I read some of the reviews, but in my case, I have absolutely nothing negative to day about these tampons. I didn't experience them falling apart inside me and as long as you pull the plunger (the bottom part) all the way out before you try to insert the tampon, there's not an issue with the tampon releasing. I think some women are confused about the "compact" style and don't understand that they have to pull the plunger all the way out so it's sitting completely under the tampon, not enclosed around it, in order for it to release properly inside you.If you want to give these a shot, you can go directly to Cora's website and sign up for a monthly free trial, all you have to do is pay $3 in shipping (and you can cancel your subscription at any time). What do you have to lose??

Ok so I love that they're cotton organic all the way! Some brands claim 'organic' when in reality it's an organic center, the outer layers NOT what they say. I LOVE the half regular, half light option. The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they're a lil bit bigger than what I'm used to. I've been using organic for a few years now, been trying out different brands (plus my 20+yrs of experience with Regular sized tampons from Playtex, Tampax, etc). These Cora tampons are bigger than my preference but so far once it's in there you can't FEEL it. You can with some brands, like I could never be comfortable with a super plus, I've only used them for 911's but I could FEEL it there, if that makes sense? But I do like these and will probably continue buying this exact option.

My only complaint is that they do have a plastic applicator with plastic wrapping. As someone concerned about our planet, I try to minimize my plastic waste, but I hate cardboard applicators, and I can't insert tampons without one. Otherwise, these tampons are fantastic. They're organic, which is good for the planet and good for me. They also help provide menstrual products to girls in developing countries.I haven't had any problems with absorbency or leaking. The combination of light and regular tampons in this box is wonderful, since my flow changes from light to regular throughout my period. I do think these tampons are a tiny bit less absorbent than other brands, but if your flow is usually light like mine, this light-regular combo is perfect. I would recommend Cora's higher absorbency tampons for girls with non-light flows.The box says light tampons are for less than 6 grams and regular is for 6-9 grams. The tampons expand in a flower pattern (octagonal design), which I like. Some other brands expand like an accordion, which feels weird to me. The tampons go in and out easily. The applicator is easy to use, and I never have issues with it. It's a compact applicator that fits well in my purse and doesn't accidentally plunge itself while getting shuffled around.I prefer these over 7th Gen tampons, which use cardboard. Cardboard is not quite as bad as plastic, but cardboard is definitely not free from waste, either. If these Cora tampons used biodegradeable plastic, I'd give them 6 stars. Otherwise, 5 stars will do, because these are the best tampons I've ever found. Order them on Subscribe and Save to save a little. I normally pay around $12 for a box of 36.

These tampons are not only comfortable but also free from harmful chemicals and toxins. The compact applicator is easy to use and ensures quick and hassle-free insertion. With a combination of light and regular absorbency, these tampons provide excellent leak protection. The unscented feature is a bonus for those with sensitive skin or allergies. With 36 tampons in a pack, you'll be well-stocked for your menstrual needs. Overall, I highly recommend the Cora Organic Applicator Tampons for their quality, comfort, and commitment to organic and non-toxic materials.
