Which tampon absorbs more? I put the two to the test! U by Kotex and Tampax Pearl get their absorbencies tested. Which one wins?

@socklover15 Why would a tampon have to be a different absorbency for people with different body weights?

[kaylacook1234]

tampax is better because it works its not just some brand that just has colours and are uncomfortable but tampax are better they work more better and are super comfortable for the new people who start useing it :D

@kaylacook1234 UbyKotex are sooo comfortable. Tampax is too! That's why I use both! :) Thanks for posting your opinion :D

i would prefer U by Kotex because when you take it out it wont feel so uncomfortable.

[GirlsandGrowingUp]

@MelissaaaTeee Tampax Pearls are actually really comfortable. They just look weird in this video. They are an odd shape, but that doesn't make them painful. I use ubykotex whenever I leave the house or my flow is lighter. They are super comfortable, right?! :D

I don't like Tampax because it absorbs from the sides. ow

For cupcake, no, that is the beauty of a tampon! You don't even know u were on your period and it's very comfortable just don't forget to take it out!

Can u feel a tampon expand inside u ?

[TheTARDISCatcher]

U by Kotex expands in a much more comfortable way

I hate U by Kotex. They hurt to put in and to take out.

@crickiechickie I don't think she was necessarily over reacting about worrying about TSS, its just that when your not on your period, the tampon is dry when you take it out and that can be very painful to remove! It feels like sandpaper and can rub the skin inside your vagina raw :/

[CrippledButterfly]

I like u by kotex better generally because they expand in a more comfortable way. I was really nervous bout using them the first time but now I don't even think about it! Tampax is better when protecting against leaks. I just wear a panty-liner underneath U by Kotex, just in case.

[crickiechickie]

@akivi622 I don't really agree with that. She only wore it for a half hour. If she'd left it in for days then yes, that is a problem but I don't see no harm in her trying them out. If your concern is something like TSS it would take a lot longer than a half hour for her to be at risk.

With that said pocketbook57, I really think you're not going to know what you like until you get your period. Wearing a tampon for a half hour is very different from wearing it for 3 or 4 hours.

I was a loyal Tampax user for a very long time then I decided to try U by Kotex. I personally find the Kotex to be more comforrtable than the Tampax (not that the Tampax is very uncomfortable, I just seem to "feel" it more than the Kotex). With that said, our bodies are all different and our periods are all different. Something that works for me, a 29 year old who is 4'11 and has a history of heavy periods, may not necessarily work for a 5'7 16 year old with light periods.

@pocketbook57 You SHOULD NOT put a tampon in if you have not started you period! Not smart!
