Rated 5 out of 5 by Corey from Please change the individual wrapper colors! Since my 20's these are the only tampons I'll use - they really are the best! I'm 40 now with 4 young children and use different sizes depending on where I am in my period. In the middle of the night or rushing around during the day though, I'm always grabbing the wrong one because the colors are so close! With all the colors in the rainbow, couldn't you chose something different than almost the same shade of yellow for the R and S+ ? !

Rated 5 out of 5 by KimWaggs from Playtex Ultra Tampons are the BEST I've been using these for years and they are the only tampons that work for me. I have been having a terrible time finding them in the stores lately. PLEASE do NOT discontinue these, because if you do I won't be able to leave the house. Better yet, I won't even be able to go to WORK!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MplsHeidi from The best tampon for no leaks!!! I needed a tampon and my friend handed me a Playtex. I always used Tampax. Once I used Playtex I never went back. Great comfort and I know it won't leak.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tampons4Me from an old favorite I have been wearing tampons daily for over 20 years. I believe Playtex Gentle Glide is one of the best. Easy to insert and very comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by katieluvsdiapers from Love the Playtex Gentle Glide Ultra Tampons! I really like the Playtex Gentle Glide Ultra tampons because of the plastic applicator and comfortable feeling while inserting the tampon. I also like that these tampons don't have the extend-o "click" applicator that never works for me. I've tried many tampons from different brands and these are one of the best out there! I would recommend Playtex Tampons to anyone who uses tampons! Thanks Playtex!

Rated 5 out of 5 by GirlGamer from Playtex Gentle Glide Ultra I tried these on a whim & I'm glad that I did. The best of both worlds, perfect tampon & applicator, both!! I've tried other brands, but I always seem to come back to Playtex, no matter what & with the variety of styles they now have available (Gentle Glide 360, 360 Sport, 360 Sport Compact) in addition to the Ultra style, one can't go wrong with the Playtex brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mississauga Sweetness from LIGHT tampons needed I am not sure why LIGHT tampons were not promoted or why they were never sold separately... but it seems ridiculous they were discontinued. One who is entering my later years, I am one who rarely uses Super tampons and therefore rely on Regular and Light sized ones. Party-liners are not only inconvenient and don't leave you as feeling fresh as the LIGHT liners you used to sell. I came on the site today hoping to buy them, as I have noticed them off the store shelves of several stores. No such luck. Then I noticed all the other reviews who are also asking for Light tampons back. PLEASE reconsider putting them back in the stores as there is nothing else like it in the market, and there IS a need for them. Regular tampons can be TOO drying on your light days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stacyb34 from Loved the slender fit & lights Bring back the slender fit or light tampons. These were the only ones that did not make me cramp. I have been having to buy your competitors product, but it is not as good!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LG_Supervisor from First tampons I ever used. I remember that I started using Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons, I was 13-14 years old, when I first started getting my period & Playtex Gentle Glide are still my "go-to" brand. Other brands may have "better grips &/or snazzier applicators (I.E. "Click type"), but no other brand matches the comfort level of Gentle Glide. Once the tampon is seated correctly, you don't even know that it's there. Such a wonderful "feeling" not feeling anything.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellie16029 from My go-to tampon! These tampons work brilliantly for me. I love how easy they are to insert, how comfortable they are, and how little they leak. I've used them for about 2 years and they haven't let me down.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nik4 from Fantastic Absorbency I tried this product a few days ago and I am very impressed. I needed a tampon that could guarantee a leak free session for about 6 hours. My period was heavy and I needed to use something that would work effectively. These tampons stood up to the test and gave me the protection that I needed to play Carnival without worry or anxiety about having a leak occur. I wore a panty shield just in case....the panty shield was free from any leaks....just goes to show how this product is excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimberly324 from I love these! I have been wearing Playtex tampons for years. The other tampons that I have tried fall apart and don't absorb. I also wear a "always" extra long pantyliner just in case I have any leakage. I honestly think that Playtex is the best when it comes to tampons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tatum28 from LOVE this product.. Need light size though Most comfortable tampon that I have tried.. And I have tried a lot of them, wish there was a light option though on those light flow days..

Rated 5 out of 5 by MsLD from We need Light tampons too. I have used Glide with flexible fit since they first came out. They are the most comfortable and secure product out there. I'm approaching the time of life when I won't be needing them. Until that time comes, however, the light are perfect for the unpredictable, peri/menopausal woman whose needs change. That age group and their needs shouldn't be overlooked.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melanie55 from Bring back Lights! For those of us girls who don't flow heavy enough each day of our period, light absorbancy tampons were amazing! I used to get them at the store and then they stopped carrying them. Then I bought them online and all was well. Now it would cost me nearly $30.00 to get one box of 16! Please bring them back, or at least tell me how I can order Playtex Gentle Glide Light Absorbancy tampons! I have used other brands and they hurt. Playtex is the only brand that is comfortable. I think Tampax makes a light absorbancy tampon, but they hurt so bad. Please bring them back!!! Or send some right to me!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ag333 from Love but PLEASE bring back the light flow tampons! Playtex is the best, but why would they take away the light flow tampons!? The Regulars are too much for me most days, never mind the Plus etc. I hate Tampax but they are the only ones offering the light days tampons :( PLEASE BRING BACK THE LIGHT FLOW TAMPONS!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nitala from Playtex tampons are the absolute best!!! I have tried every other tampon out there and NONE of them beat Playtex for absorbency and comfort!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Natatwee from Best Tampons--wish there was a Light option I absolutely love these tampons. They are so much better than Tampax Pearl. My only wish is that Playtex would make a light tampon. I have really light periods for most of the days in my cycle, and I hate that I have to buy Tampax because they sell Lights. Tampax makes me feel itchy, so I don't like them. PLEASE Playtex--if you are reading this-- MAKE A LIGHT TAMPON!!!! I think there are more women than you think that want Lights from Playtex and not other brands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HLM3 from Best Product on the Market I have been buying this product for 30 years and I am extremely loyal. I do not like the other brands especially the cardboard applicators. The playtex gentle glide is easy to use and very comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sshine16 from Favourite brand I'm a loyal Playtex tampons customer and have a bad experience every time I try something different. I can't seem to find the "light" flow (purple label) anywhere, have they been discontinued? Where can I find them? Help!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Butterfly from Love Playtex My older cousin introduced this product into my life, & I've never looked back! Both Sport & Gentle Glide 360* are very easy to use & comfortable! For those who won't agree...do you remember the saying, "Practice makes perfect"? Well, if the tampon doesn't feel comfortable, don't give up, practice your handling, how you hold, insert, & remove it. NEVER PRACTICE WHEN THE TAMPON IS DRY! Learn from me. Doing so rubs on the already inflamed tissue. Therefore, pain. I waited for an hour or so, then tried again. It removed, with a firm, gentle tug. Trust me, if you think you should...Try this: Find a comfortable position, relax, arch your back slightly (humpback), relax your pelvis muscles, & gently insert tampon. You will feel it, but it should be painless. There's no need to rush your practice sessions. When it's time for removal, I've found, that when I'm in the same comfortable position as before, & I pull firmly, yet gently on the string, it doesn't hurt.
