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!
