These gave me my life back!
Since having my daughter, my period has turned into what I can only best describe as a crime scene. I ended up finding about ultras in another brand and thought only having to go to the bathroom every two hours instead of every hour was a miracle, until I found these. These are hands down the best tampons for anyone with a heavy cycle. Instead of two hours I can go for four hours!!! To some that’s crazy but to me it means sitting in a long meeting or being at a movie and not having to pull out my super large suitcase of a purse and leave to take the walk of heavy cycle shame multiple times. These hands down are the best on the market!!

Best EVER
I have been using playtex gentle glide tampons since I was 17 I am 33 now , I like them best bc the way they are 360 degree they fit an contour to your insides perfect I have never ever had a leak while using these ever. They are better than all other brands an I have tried them all, the other brands open up funky inside you it feels gross none of them have that 360 that feels natural also the material used in other tampons feels an looks so cheap same with the applicators playtex gentle glide is best the only thing other tampons have better is there packaging looks better an younger/ cooler

Need more Variety!!
I've been using Playtex Gentle Glide for years and years. I prefer it over every other brand of tampon on store shelves. I loved the bright box because I knew when I went shopping I knew what I was looking for. No matter what store or state I was in I would be able to find it. However since the design on the box changed all the stores in town no longer seem to carry the Super Plus boxes of Gentle Glide. They have regular, super, and ultra but no super plus. There are no size/style boxes that have super plus in them either or this wouldn't be a problem. I would use Playtex Sport, but they are uncomfortable and don't work well for me with me and my heavy periods. I have no problem using ultra's, but they aren't exactly ideal for the end of my periods or the periods where I'm not heavy enough to have any need for them. I'm wasting my money doing that and I pay enough for Playtex as it is that I want to make sure I have enough tampons to last me 2-3 months and not have to go out and buy them every month. Also some coupons on the boxes and possibly mailers would be good to help those of us women who are loyal customers to help us save so we don't feel like we spend more than we are on tampons and other feminine hygiene products. Thanks.

Stop replacing Gentle Glide with Sport....
I've used gentle glide for decades (and a lot of them, sadly) and they are the very best comfort available. Sadly, since the "sport" version came out, more retailers only sell those now and/or fewer size variations of the gentle glide. I cannot use the sport - they are uncomfortable - they feel like when you use "Tampex" which is a MUCH less expensive brand and I still pay the crazy high price for the Playtex Gentle Glide (for the comfort).
The Ultra's in the Gentle Glide are near impossible to find now and so are the super plus uless you buy multi-packs which pack mostly the smaller size so you spend an exorbitant amount of money of the smaller ones you may never use.
In addition, please have them add a cm in length to the string on the Ultra size ones. And have some consistency in the strings - I often have to toss them out because the 2 strings tied together are uneven and when I have to always re-tie them closer to the end (you'd understand why if you have heavy periods and go to the bathroom a lot), they wont work.
Lastly, please add manufacturer coupons to boxes once in a while - we do pay the highest price to use your product over cheaper ones, so show some appreciation to your customers (your profit margins can more than allow for this). Thanks!

Simply Great
I purchased these (Ultra Style) a couple of days ago "Praying" Playtex hadn't changed anything too drastically from their tampons (Aplicator & Tampon itself) before; "Gentle Glide 360" & am quite pleased to say that no one need to worry. The aplicator is itself translucent, not opaque as before & it still has the "Petal design" on the front of the barrel for ease of insertion & the tampon itself seems to be more comfortable in place after insertion.
I'm very pleased with their "Rebranding" of their product & Playtex will still be my "Go-To" brand.

Love the Ultra tampons!
I was looking for the Playtex Ultra tampons during a recent trip to the store. They were either out or stopped carrying them. Disappointed, I tried another store, then another, and yet another. Unable to locate the Ultra tampons, I feared you stopped making them. Thankfully, I finally located some in the next town over. I purchased every box they had, praying you did not discontinue them. Now that I own 5 packages of 36 Ultra tampons, I am happy to see them on your website. For the past 10 or so years, my periods only last about 3 days, but for a good 12 to 18 hours during those 3 days, I saturate an Ultra tampon and an overnight pad every hour and a half to two hours. I'm so thankful they are still being made I had to write a review thanking Playtex for this wonderful product. Life would be a little more difficult without them.

Still the greatest tampon on the market!
Playtex Gentle Glides have been my favorite tampons since I first tried them, over a dozen years ago, so when I heard about the new "Simply Gentle Glides", I had to give 'em a try! To be honest, the only real difference is the color of the applicator, but that's just fine with me - why mess with perfection?

Bring back Gentle Glide Regular 40 count
Platex Gentle Glide are the most comfortable tampon on the market and best to prevent leakage. I have been using them over 30 years! My daughter and I both agree is it more comfortable than the Sport. BUT we cannot find REGULAR or LIGHT absorbency anywhere. I am so tired of only finding Sport and Super (and split pakages) in stores and online.. Please bring back REGULAR and preferably the 40 count package. You are forcing us to switch brands.

Why can't I find the boxes that 40+ in them?
Platex Gentle Glide are way more comfortable then the Sport. I have been using them over 30 years (that can't right...oh but it is)! Lately I am only finding packaging the are split with small quantities of two sizes. Where are the bulk packages? Please bring them back!!!

Best One Yet!
A friend gave me some supplies when I had none, and there was a Playtex Tampon in the bag. I'm used to having to grip tampons as if my life depended on it to get it out and in, but the flared bottom made it really easy to insert! There were no leaks and it didn't painfully expand! I'll be using these from now on!

Love gentle glide U
I love the ultra gentle glide. I have real heavy periods, and I’ve tried other brands nothing compares to playtex tampons. I’m having trouble finding the ultras I’ve tried four stores and for some reason they stopped carrying them. I’ve now on tampons that I hate. Plz tell Walmart to start carrying them again.

Just Tried Products
I have been experiencing heavy periods for a year. And Playtex is the only product for tampons I use.
I just bought the Gentle Glide 360Ultra. They are the only one that has made protection simple.
Thank You for the product

Please bring back the LIGHT tampons!
I used to love the multi pack that included the light tampons as well as the regular and super which is enough to cover everyday needed in a cycle. Please bring back the lights!

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+ ? !

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Please bring the light tampons back. Why were they discontinued in the first place? They're great for light flow days

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
