Trying to use none applicator tampons when you are bleeding like a stuck pig. PMLS. Forget it.
I was one of those people with very heavy periods so Super Plus Tampon, with a Super pad. If out and about I actually had to use the disabled toilet as the blood on my hands etc looked like I had murdered someone. The cheap own brand products just did not cut it at all!
The simple case of one size does not fit all when it comes to sanity products and cheaper does not work out as money saving.
Totally agree. If I only had cheap own brand products I wouldn't be able to leave the house, so I wouldn't be able to hold down a job, so unable to pay my mortgage and would end up in debt, and having to replace clothing monthly, so really not money saving.
Some own brand stuff isn't too bad, and it has improved over the years, but when you base all your calculations on just the low absorbancy ones, then you sums just don't add up or come close to the reality
Aldi own brand ones are very good too.
Don't assume that branded means better. In most cases they'll be made in the same factory, at times even an identical product, to the cheaper ones.
Agree. Lillets non-applicator tampons are identical to Asda ones, but they don't go up to the same level of absorbancy, so Asda ones do for the lighter days, but some days the branded ones are the only option.
My local Asda sell super plus extra non-applicator tampons and they are as good as Lil lets but are just a third of the price.
