Purple tampax

Is it just me struggling to get a hold of these? Haven't seen any the past few months, and I literally went to three different shops today to try and find them. Plus they're £6.50 on Amazon (not even next day delivery!) where the other colours are £2 a box?! What gives???

They’re the really really slim ones I think

I didn’t know they did purple ones either.

Have you tried Poundland and random places like that?

OK they're not actually purple in colour though, right?

Yeah they're the smallest ones but I like them for the last day or so, when you think it's over but it's actually not

Umm, the cotton? No, but that would be more fun.

That was my first thought and then I thought about size

I haven't, I've got a B&M near me I could try, good shout! just not sure why they're going extinct?

Are they maybe so popular because they're so compact? I don't use them so have no idea. Not on commission or anything but have you tried a cup instead of tampax?

If you can't find them...what about trying lilets.

I tried them again recently for the first time in years...they were good.

Try Bodycare, they now do home delivery. I think their £1.49 and £1.75 depending on how many you require.

Hopefully not discontinued

That’s why the cheapo shops might be a good shout.

Good luck!

I've been tempted but it just seems too messy. Is it? What if it overflows? Can you feel it? So many questions...

To start with whilst you get used to it it can be but blood isn't going to spurt across the room when you take it out

Aslong as you get it sat in the right position it won't move or leak and you can't feel it when it's in correctly. You can leave it in for up to 12 hours so it's great for busy days or overnight and no need to remove when going to the toilet otherwise

No..they don't but that means you can insert them where you want..

In the past I've had my tampqx feel like they are coming out and had to replace them fairly quickly

1) A bit messy but you get used to it

2) Possible but usually doesn't if you position it correctly (just like tampons)

3) Not if you position it correctly (just like tampons)

I can't use tampons any more so find the cup excellent. I do usually have a thin pad as psychological back up but it is only rarely tainted.

I feel like everyone who uses a cup swears by it

I'm gonna be honest the whole process just seems bloody and uncomfortable and something I'd have to cut my nails short for

Amazon can be very expensive for certain items. I don't buy these things anymore but you should check out Bodycare and Superdrug OP x
