Product Information
Full details
Tampax Pearl Compak Super Tampons are designed for individuals with moderate flow seeking reliable, discreet protection and comfort. The key benefit is up to 8 hours of leakage protection with a smooth, hygienic insertion experience. A minor consideration is that 'Super' absorbency is intended for moderate flow, and may not be sufficient for very heavy days.

FAQs
What does 'Super' absorbency mean?
'Super' absorbency is designed for moderate menstrual flow. If you experience very heavy flow, you may need a higher absorbency tampon.
How long can I wear a tampon?
Tampax Pearl Compak Super Tampons provide up to 8 hours of protection. It is recommended to change tampons every 4-8 hours and never exceed 8 hours to reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
Is the applicator flushable?
No, the applicator and tampon should be disposed of in a trash bin. Do not flush them down the toilet as they can cause plumbing issues.
Can I use these tampons overnight?
Yes, you can wear them overnight if your flow is moderate and you do not exceed the 8-hour limit. Always choose the lowest absorbency needed for your flow.
How do I dispose of a used tampon?
Wrap the used tampon and applicator in its original wrapper or toilet paper and place it in a trash bin. Avoid flushing.
Are these tampons suitable for beginners?
The compact applicator is designed for ease of use, making them a good option for beginners. Practice and relaxation are key to comfortable insertion.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting applicator
Ensure you are relaxed. Try a different angle or a small amount of water-based lubricant on the tip of the applicator. Ensure the applicator is fully unfolded from its compact state.
Leakage before 8 hours
This may indicate the absorbency level is not sufficient for your current flow. Consider trying a higher absorbency tampon. Ensure the tampon was inserted correctly and the LeakGuard skirt is properly positioned.
String breaks or detaches
If the removal string detaches, attempt to remove the tampon with clean fingers. If unable to remove, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
