Playex Sport Fresh Balance Review for the #GoVoxBox from Influenster

DISCLAIMER: I  received these tampons complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster and Playtex.

I received Playtex's Sport Fresh Balance Tampons in my Go Vox Box from Influenster to try out. I'm going to be real candid that I was a bit apprehensive about tampons, in general. I had tried to use tampons in the past (in my tween years, 12 years old to be exact) and I really did not enjoy it. That was only one time and it scared me. So, when I saw the package for some Playtex tampons I was not feeling it but that was before I gave tampons another shot. I was quite surprised that these were comfortable and easy application. I was able to move about freely during vast activities especially exercise. These are perfect for working out!

Features of this tampon are:

1. Contoured Tip

2. Barrel

3. Finger grip

4. Plunger

5. Tampon

6. String 

Here's a quick video on how to properly insert a tampon by an awesome YouTuber,

Tips for Usage:

1. Be sure to read and follow instructions carefully when inserting a tampon. Instructions come in every box so please check them out.

2. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT leave a tampon in for more than 8 hours. Be sure to change your tampon between 4 to 8 hours or you could end up with TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). Trust me ladies, you do not want that to happen to you! Here are symptoms of TSS as follows; Sudden fever (usually 102 degrees or more), vomiting, diarrhea, fainting or near fainting when standing up, dizziness, or a rash that looks like sunburn. If TSS ensues remove the tampon right away  and see your doctor  immediately!


3. Relax, no seriously, be relaxed when inserting your tampon or it will hurt. Make sure your sitting down on the toilet while you do this.




I hope this gives any gal some insight about tampons. Thanks again Influenster and Playtex!

Go Vox Box Challenge!

DISCLAIMER: I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

It has been a while since I have received a Vox Box from Influenster and I am super excited about this one. This is the Go Vox Box full of goodies from the brands as follows; PROFOOT Triad Orthatics & Pedi-Rock, Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons, Blue Diamond Fruit Flavored Almonds (Blueberry), a coupon for Muller Yogurt, Aqua Spa Relax Collection Body Creme in Lavender & Chamomille, and The Vitamin Shoppe Next Step 20 oz JAXX Shaker Cup plus 3 samples of Next Step's Fit N 'Full Shake in the flavors French Vanilla, Swiss Chocolate, and Fresh Berries.

I have not heard of the brand PROFOOT before and I'm looking forward to trying out their orthotics and Pedi-Rock. I am in need of a good orthotics for my shoes as well as intrigued with the pedi-rock. I have also never heard of the brand of Aqua Spa and I did test out the body creme today. It smelled wonderful and my skin feels silky soft. This will be a first time trying out a shake as a meal supplement and the JAXX cup seems interesting and fun way to shake things up. I am familiar with the brand blue Diamond since I tried other variations of their almonds which are pretty amazing to snack on for a protein power boost. The blueberry ones sound delicious. I have heard of Muller before and am looking forward to trying out their yogurt. Knowing there is Greek yogurt I'm sold! It's really healthy due to low fat and high protein content. I have heard of and seen Playtex Tampon products in store as well as advertisements. To be honest I have never used any brand of tampons. I did try to use when when I was much younger (like 12 1/2 years old) and it was unpleasant for me. I may have done it wrong, who knows. I'll give at least one of the Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons a try.


Here are a few pictures and a video I made to give a little insight for those who are curious about what all of these products look like. Enjoy! Also, I will post a link to join Influenster as well. It's free and who wouldn't want to try out stuff for free?!
