RELATED FAQ

RELATED FAQ

Q: How long can I wear a tampon?

A: When using tampons, it's important to choose the lowest absorbency necessary for your menstrual flow. And because the amount of flow varies from day to day, it's likely that you will need to use different absorbencies on different days of your period. Selecting the right absorbency comes with experience, but as a guide, if a tampon absorbs as much as it can and has to be changed before 4 hours, then you may want to try a higher absorbency. On the other hand, if you remove a tampon and after 4-8 hours white fiber is still showing, you should choose a lower absorbency.


Q: How do I use a Tampax Pocket Radiant tampon applicator?

A: Tampax Pocket Radiant compact tampons have a smooth applicator with an anti-slip grip. To use, pull firmly on the end of the extendable applicator to extend and click into place for easy-to-use, comfortable protection.


Q: How long can I wear a tampon?

A: Tampax Pocket Radiant tampons usually last four to eight hours. But it’s important to pay attention to the absorbency rate on different days of your period. If a tampon absorbs as much as it can before four hours, you need a higher absorbency. If there is still white fiber showing after four to eight hours, you need a lower absorbency. Use for a maximum of eight hours.


Q: How does Tampax Pocket Radiant stop leaks?

A: The Tampax Pocket Radiant tampon is designed to expand widthwise to fit your unique form and has a LeakGuard Braid to help stop leaks before they happen.


Q: What makes Tampax Pocket Radiant different from Tampax Radiant?

A: Tampax Pocket Radiant compact tampons offer the same protection as Tampax Radiant tampons, yet more discreetly. They're a full-size tampon in a smaller, extendable, plastic applicator.

Tested & Proven to work

My cycle is not as heavy as it used to be now that I am 40 but there is always one day that I end up with a mess where my body gets it all out of the way at once and this product protected me against an embarrassing situation. I did not leak for the first time in months. It is always my second day and for a few hours I bleed so heavily and prefer to stay close to home or carry a change of clothing but this time, with this product, I was spared embarrassment. My 20 & 17 year old are very satisfied as well!!! Thank you so much for making something that works!!!!

I don't even notice it!

Okay, so ladies, I know this may sound like something is written by the company, BUT-! When I say that this is perfect if you want discreet, unnoticeable, full proof protection when on the go or even just at home, then this is for you. I'm a student and I normally use pads but, sometimes I want a bath to ease my cramps or for my lower back so, I find tampons to be really nice. Or, when my friend invites me to camp for a week and aunt flow decides to visit- I have a week-long period btw. So yeah, as cheesy as it sounds, I would recommend this product to you if this sounds like you need it for exactly these types of situations. Like I said, I don't normally use these but I'm not going to let my period control my life more than it already has because it suddenly decided to make its unexpected reappearance at the worst moments!

I'm very happy with my purchase.

These are very comfortable to wear. I don't even notice I have it in. I love that the applicator is 90% plant based. I'm really happy that Tampax decided to make a tampon that is 100% cotton. These will definitely become my go-to tampons.

We always want to win you over with the design with our tampons but also, the protection they give you, which is why we're sorry to hear you had this experience. It may be helpful to know that if the tampon isn't inserted correctly it may leak. For best results, insert the tip of your applicator in at a slight upward angle. Slide the outer tube all the way in until your fingers touch your body. Using your index finger or your other hand, push the inner tube all the way into the outer tube. (One tube is now inside the other.) Also, with your flow varying from day to day, it’s likely you’ll want to use different absorbencies over the course of your period for better protection and comfort. We do offer packages of mixed absorbencies to meet all of your needs. If you have any other questions, concerns or comments, please don't hesitate to give us a call (800) 523-0014.

leaked after less than 2 hours.

This was my first time trying this product. It leaked in less than 2 hours of wear. This would have made for an embarrassing leak if I hadn’t also been wearing a pad. I always wear a pad when trying new tampoons just in case and was surprised that the tampon leaked in under two hours. Normally I can get at least 4-5 hours with other tampons. I am in my mid 30’s and I could not recommend this product to anyone other than a young teenager with a very light flow or maybe someone on the last day of their period. It really should say “Light flow” for absorbancy, not “regular “ on the box. I see that many others are commenting the same thing about the tampon leaking so I know I’m not the only one.

No, I do not recommend this product.

We'd hope to win you over for life but we're sorry your first Pocket Radiant experience didn't do just that. Confidence during your time of the month is something we pride ourselves on, which is why we'd like to restore your trust in us. It's important to choose the lowest tampon absorbency necessary for your menstrual flow. With that said, using a lower-absorbency tampon for a heavy flow may fill the tampon up quickly and, if not changed soon enough, may result in leakage. Sometimes too, heavy clotting may coat the tampon and prevent thinner blood from being absorbed. In both cases, using a higher-absorbency tampon is recommended. With your flow varying from day to day, it’s likely you’ll want to use different absorbencies over the course of your period for better protection and comfort. When you find a few moments, please give us a call at (800) 523-0014 so we can prove why we're the ones for you.
