No Applicator Tampons Ultra, Applicator, Free Fragrance Free, 40 ct

I've used these tampons for quite a while and keep coming back to them because they're reliable, comfortable, and easy to carry. The applicator-free design creates less waste and makes them very compact. They provide dependable protection without fragrance or unnecessary extras. A practical choice that works well and offers excellent value.

Let’s be real: these little guys don’t come to play — they come to perform. O.B. tampons are tiny, discreet, and somehow manage to absorb like they’ve got a PhD in fluid dynamics. No applicator? No problem. Once you get the hang of it, it’s like second nature. Plus, no plastic waste = bonus points for the planet. They’re fragrance-free, which means no weird perfumey nonsense where it doesn’t belong. Just clean, simple, and effective. And the pack lasts forever — I feel like I got a lifetime supply in one box. Great value, great performance, and they fit in literally any pocket, clutch, or emergency kit. Pros: • Super absorbent despite their size • No applicator = less waste, more space • Fragrance-free and gentle • Great value — you get a ton • Discreet enough to sneak past TSA, your nosy coworker, or the dog who sniffs everything Minor feedback: There’s a learning curve if you’ve only used applicators, but once you get it, you’ll wonder why you ever needed one. Final thoughts: If you want a tampon that’s low-key, high-performance, and doesn’t try to smell like a flower shop, O.B. is the way to go. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to travel light and bleed with dignity.

My favorite tampons! I tend to be really sensitive to period products: I haven't been able to use the Diva Cup or other reusable tampon substitutes. I hate that tampons with applicators have lots of plastic (I'm trying to use less plastic) or are clunky to keep in my small purse/hip bag. These are easy to stash in multiple places in case I start my period when it's not planned. I really like the o.b. update to opening these: now you just twist in the middle. Just make sure you haven't put lotion on before you try to twist, because it makes it hard. I have a pretty heavy period, so I use these in combo with wingless pads.

o.b. Tampons, Ultra, 40 ct, Unscented, no applicator - Ultra is the most absorbent tampon in the o.b. line and is easily identified by its purple color. The tampons are compact and small enough to fit in the smallest pocket of my jeans. Each tampon is individually shrink wrapped and twists to open. No applicator, which reduces waste and makes them more compact. o.b. tampons expand to fit reducing leaks. Have noticed that some of the cotton on the tampons want to separate and pull apart where the string is attached. How to open the shrink wrap has changed in recent years- used to be a tab to pull open, now it twists to break open. The product box has been redesigned and the newer box seems thinner and more flimsy, making it more prone to damage. The older product box design was better. I've trusted and used o.b. brand tampons for years, so I hope they correct the quality control issues.

I love these! People who keep long nails might not be a huge fan of the no applicator thing, and tbh I also dislike it when I’m not at home but these tampons are essential to me especially for my heavy flow days! Something about the shape works better for less leaks than when I use other brands.

Favorite! If you used to love the Kotex security tampons, these are about as close to those as anything on the market! Having the “ultra” absorbency option too is a major plus! I’m unable to use most tampons because they’re too long- limiting me to just a few. Of those few, these are my favorite! They’re, in my opinion, just like the Kotex click tampons, only with no applicator AND they come in a higher absorbency- which is a major plus for me!

No surprises. No mess. Does exactly what it should. I go through a box a month.

I have used these for over 30 years and I purchased many boxs of the purple high absorbency. This is the first time I have felt so much stress before and during my period. It is a battle to get the plastic open with this new twist feature. I have a clean pocket knife in my home bathroom to open it. At work it takes me wxtra time to open it. Why the change after so many years of perfection? Please go back to the original packaging; we already pay a hefty cost for OB.

For the last 10 years, I'd been using a menstrual cup, and I absolutely loved it - until it started to leak. I loved how eco-friendly it was, but over the last several months, no matter what I tried, I was always experiencing leaks. I had to break up with my cup, unfortunately, and go back to my tried and true o.b. I've always loved these tampons because of their discreet packaging and ease of insertion. They keep me protected, with ZERO leaks. I miss using my cup - but I miss worry-free periods more. So happy that Amazon has the Ultra absorbency - it's so hard to find these in store!
