Tampax Compak Regular

Tampax Compak Regular Tampons are easy to insert and comfortable with their smooth plastic applicator and rounded tip. Their unique discreet compact applicator makes them discreet enough to carry anywhere. Each tampon gently expands to comfortably fit the shape of the body providing amazing protection. The new Tampax Compak has a protective 'skirt'. This skirt is an extension of the outer layer covering the tampon, offering you extra protection when you need it the most.

Tampax Compak Regular Tampons are recommended for light to medium flow days. If you experience discomfort during removal because the tampon is partially dry, consider moving to the next lower absorbency. On lighter flow days change the tampon absorbency. Always use the lowest absorbency for you flow. The absorbent material is cotton rayon mix.

If you experience leaks, then change the tampon more regularly. By using Tampax tampons with different levels of absorbency, you will get the best combination of protection and comfort throughout your period. Remember - it's important not to wear your tampon for more than 4-8 hours.
