Let me start by saying I've tried *a lot* of tampons over the years, but Tampax Pearl Lights are the ones I keep coming back to. The 100-count bulk pack is a game-changer - no more emergency store runs during midnight cramps!

The LeakGuard Braid actually works. I've worn these during yoga sessions and busy workdays, and zero 'uh-oh' moments. They expand just enough to feel secure without that uncomfortable 'too full' sensation some tampons give.

What surprised me most was the applicator. The anti-slip grip makes insertion so much easier compared to other brands I've tried. No more fumbling in public restroom stalls!

For light days, they're perfect - absorbent enough without being overkill. I keep a few in every bag (the wrappers don't crinkle loudly either, bonus!). When my flow's heavier, I size up, but these handle about 80% of my cycle.

Pro tip: Buying this bulk pack saves me about $12/month compared to drugstore prices. Worth every penny for reliable protection that doesn't feel like you're wearing a cardboard tube.
