TAMPAX PEARL SUPER TAMPONS WITH APPLICATOR
PRIMARY USES
1. Heavy Menstrual Flow Management with Super Absorbency
Primary Use: Provides super absorbency (9-12 grams) for medium to heavy menstrual flow days using a tampon designed with MotionFit technology that gently expands to adapt to the body’s unique shape, offering up to eight hours of comfortable protection .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and primary care physician, patients with heavier flow days need higher absorbency options that provide reliable protection without frequent changes. Super absorbency is intended for medium to heavy flow days, typically when a tampon needs changing before 4 hours on regular absorbency . The FormFit design allows the tampon to gently expand once inserted to fit the body’s individual shape, providing full protection without discomfort . For the patient, this means having the right absorbency for heavier flow days with protection that feels barely there.
2. Dual Protection System with LeakGuard Braid for Leak Prevention
Primary Use: Features Tampax’s exclusive Dual Protection System combining a LeakGuard braid that helps stop leaks before they happen and FormFit technology that allows the tampon to gently expand to fit the body’s unique shape, providing up to 100% leak-free protection for heavier flow days .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist addressing patient concerns about heavy flow leakage, the fear of leaks is a primary reason women restrict activities during their period, especially on heavier days. Only Tampax has a LeakGuard braid that helps stop leaks before they happen, working alongside the tampon’s ability to gently expand to fit the body’s unique shape . This dual protection system provides all-day comfort and protection for up to eight hours, even on heavier flow days . For the patient, this means confidence to engage in daily activities without worrying about leaks during their heaviest flow.
3. SmoothTouch Plastic Applicator for Comfortable Insertion
Primary Use: Features a SmoothTouch plastic applicator with an anti-slip grip and rounded tip that provides smooth, comfortable insertion, offering 5x smoother insertion compared to cardboard applicators .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and adolescent medicine specialist, difficulty with tampon insertion can be exacerbated by higher absorbency tampons, which may be slightly larger than lower absorbency options. The Tampax Pearl applicator features a SmoothTouch plastic applicator with anti-slip grip and rounded tip for easy and comfortable tampon insertion . The applicator design allows for controlled, comfortable insertion, with the smooth plastic material reducing friction . For the patient, this means a more comfortable tampon experience even when using higher absorbency products for heavier flow days.
4. Perfume-Free, Clinically Tested Formulation for Sensitive Skin
Primary Use: Made without perfume, free from dyes (except the braid which contains skin-friendly pigments), free from chlorine bleaching, and clinically tested to be gentle on skin, with Oeko-Tex certification for independent testing of harmful substances .
How it helps: For the dermatologist and gynaecologist, the vaginal mucosa is highly absorbent and sensitive to chemical exposures, making hypoallergenic menstrual products essential for patients with sensitivities or allergies, particularly during heavier flow when tampons are worn for extended periods. Tampax Pearl tampons are free from perfume and chlorine bleaching, with a core free of dyes . They have been clinically tested to be gentle on skin and independently tested for harmful substances by Oeko-Tex . The tampon is also free from latex and BPA . For the patient with sensitive skin or concerns about chemical exposure, this provides a safer, gentler option for menstrual protection even on heavier flow days.
SECONDARY USES
1. Overnight protection for heavier flow nights: For patients who prefer tampons for overnight protection and experience heavier nighttime flow, the super absorbency provides up to eight hours of protection without the need for middle-of-the-night changes, allowing for uninterrupted sleep .
2. Post-gynaecological procedure bleeding management (when heavier): For patients experiencing moderate to heavy bleeding following procedures such as endometrial biopsy, LEEP, cone biopsy, or dilation and curettage (D&C), these tampons provide appropriate higher absorbency for post-procedural bleeding when cleared by their healthcare provider.
3. Swimming and water activities during medium to heavy flow days: For active patients who wish to swim or participate in water sports during their heavier flow days, the super absorbency tampon provides reliable leak protection for up to eight hours, allowing full participation in aquatic activities without interruption .
4. Extended daytime protection for long work shifts: For patients working long shifts (healthcare professionals, flight attendants, factory workers) who may not have easy access to changing facilities, the super absorbency provides up to eight hours of reliable protection, reducing the need for mid-shift changes.
5. Heavy flow management for patients transitioning off hormonal contraception: For patients who have stopped hormonal contraception (IUD, pill, implant) and are experiencing heavier, more natural cycles, the super absorbency tampon provides the higher absorbency needed during the adjustment period.

-
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) warning: Tampons are associated with TSS, a rare but serious illness that may be fatal. Read and save the enclosed information. The risk of TSS increases with higher absorbency. Use the lowest absorbency that meets your needs.
-
Maximum wear time: Do not wear a single tampon for more than 8 hours.
-
Proper insertion: If you can feel the tampon, it probably hasn't been inserted far enough. Remove that tampon and insert another one. When properly inserted, you should not be able to feel the tampon at all.
-
Do not flush: Tampons can cause plumbing blockages. Dispose of used tampons in a waste container.
-
Change frequency: Change tampons every 4-8 hours depending on flow. On medium flow days, consider whether Regular absorbency is sufficient.
-
Allergic contact dermatitis: Although clinically tested, discontinue use if persistent itching, burning, or irritation occurs. Consider switching to a different brand or 100% cotton alternative.
-
Postpartum use: Consult a healthcare provider before using tampons after childbirth or gynaecological surgery.
-
Keep out of reach of children: Store tampons in a secure location where young children cannot access them.
2. FIRST AID MEASURES
-
TSS symptoms: If you experience sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, sunburn-like rash, dizziness, or fainting while using tampons, remove the tampon immediately and seek emergency medical attention. TSS can be fatal if not treated promptly.
-
Retained tampon: If you cannot remove a tampon or suspect part of a tampon remains in the vagina, seek medical attention from a gynaecologist or visit an emergency department.
-
Allergic reaction (mild): Discontinue use. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
-
Allergic reaction (severe - hives, swelling of lips/tongue/throat, difficulty breathing): This is extremely rare with tampons. Seek emergency medical attention immediately.

-
Flammability: Cotton and rayon materials are combustible. Tampons will burn if exposed to open flame.
-
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂).
-
Fire Response: For small fires, use appropriate extinguisher. For large fires, evacuate area. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
