Mini/Lite Tampons

[polkadotpixie]

I have very light periods and prefer mini/lite applicator tampons as I find regular uncomfortable as it's too absorbent

However, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to actually purchase them...everywhere seems to have stopped doing them 😩

I can occasionally find Tampax Compak Lite but I prefer to avoid these if possible because a) they're unnecessary plastic landfill and b) they leak even when not full so I guess they don't fit my body well

Does anyone know where I can find them? I live in a major city so we have all the usual supermarkets but I've tried Tesco/Sainsbury's/Asda (I used to get Asda's own brand) with no luck and also tried Boots and Superdrug

I've tried a Mooncup previously and I can't get it in so that's a no-go too unfortunately

Help!

Amazon have lil-lets lite available, seems to be at a reasonable price.

I used to have this problem and eventually settled on the TOTM lite tampons (they're pink) - they're natural fibres and have cardboard applicators that are actually easy to use, unlike some!

Years ago I used to get the Tampax lite ones in the pink packet, they had a handbag on the box? - they had cardboard applicators so no worry about I'm not sure if they still do them or not though and they may have been replaced with the ones you mention! Annoyingly, even then they only came in a small box and were hard to find..

Same product. Available on the high street/online.

@SolitudeIsHighlyOverrated @Reallybadidea Unfortunately I can't get on with non-applicator tampons so I was specifically looking for applicator ones but thanks for looking for me 😊

@Biscuitsandteaplease Those look like they might be a winner, thank you! I will order some to try
