Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons, Deodorant, Multipack of 18 Regular and 18 Super Absorbency Tampons, 36-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've decided to do a side-by-side comparison of two very similar products: The Playtex Gentle Glide multipack and the Tampax Pearl multipack. Both are offered here on Amazon at roughly the same price per package, though prices will vary with time and/or seller.
Multi-pack: The Pearl offers 3 types of absorbencies in their multipack (8 super, 20 regular, and 8 lights). Meanwhile, the Gentle Glide multipack only offers 2 kinds (regular or super, but offers 18 of each). Each box contains a total of 36 tampons.
Wrapper: Each brand individually wraps their tampons with a plastic wrapper, though the wrapper on the Pearl tampons are slightly softer and make less crinkly sounds when you scrunch them. The biggest difference here, though, is that while the Gentle Glide identifies its brand name and the absorbency level of the tampon on its individual wrapper, the Pearl tampon wrappers have no writing on them and you can only identify which tampon is which absorbency by memorizing the color of the wrapper or checking with the box. This can be a bit of a pain, if you throw one of each type of Pearl tampon into your purse/backpack and forget which absorbency level corresponds to which color.
Applicator: Each brand has a smooth, plastic applicator with a narrow finger grip. While the Pearl applicator appears slightly shorter (4.75 in.) to the Gentle Glide applicator (5 in.), both tampons appear equivalent in circumference/thickness. When I removed the tampon from the applicator, both Super absorbent tampons appear the same size. However, Gentle Glide's regular absorbent tampon appeared to be almost 1/4 inch longer than the Pearl's. (However, this may be a random result, as for the purpose of this experiment, I only opened one tampon at random from each box, of each absorbency.)
Comfort/Composition: The Pearl is made of rayon and/or cotton fiber according to its box. Gentle Glide uses rayon fiber. Both have cotton or polyester strings. Both expand width-wise when absorbing fluid, rather than length-wise like other brands. Both seem equally comfortable. Both are made in the USA.
Absorbency: The FDA regulates tampon absorbencies, so the industry has come up with a standardized measure of labeling. Previously, there was no way of knowing and it was possible the "super" absorbent tampons in one brand was actually less absorbent than "regular" tampons in another brand. The agreed upon labels are as follows: light = less than 6 grams; regular = 6-9 grams; super = 9-12 grams; super plus = 12-15 grams. As you can see, there is still wide range within each range. So, I conducted a little informal experiment/test with a digital kitchen scale (what the heck? I'm bored). I dipped each tampon (again, selected at random) from each box in a cup of water and recorded the amount of water it soaked up when fully absorbed. (Yes, I'm using water--my butcher was fresh out of blood for the day.) Here are the results:
Pearl:
Light - 15g water
Regular - 27g water
Super - 38g water
Gentle Glide:
Regular - 24g water
Super - 40g water
Super Plus (I had this one lying around, so I tested it too) - 55g water
Conclusion:
There's no knock-out here. I would be happy to recommend either of these products. In my experience, they are two of the most comfortable tampons/applicators available on the market and most reliably absorbent.

WaterWorks Natural Vaginal Cleansing System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I debated leaving this feedback because of the sensitive nature of this product. However, I had to because I want women to use this and there are not enough reviews. I want to state in advance: I do not know anyone at the company and I am not getting paid to leave this feedback. Now, with that said, I have always been extremely meticulous about my hygiene. I developed early as a teenager and that caused some alarming results and realizations, which prompted me to become almost OCD about my physical maintenance. Now, as far as a womens' nether regions, I could pretty much keep things in check with a little hydrogen peroxide and water mixture that I'd keep in a spritz bottle instead of soap. No one I was intimate with had complaints, quite the contrary. I knew not to douche, and I ate yogurt, especially since I have a sweet tooth which can also create an imbalance.
However, after I became pregnant last year and gave birth, my hormones caused some strange Ph level imbalances. No matter what I did, there was this strange smell after awhile again. My husband did not notice or at least he did not mention it, but I did, and that was enough. It was not 'fishy'- if you have a strong fishy odor, that is an infection that you need to have treated before using this product. Once you get that taken care, use of this product can help keep you clean. Also, it is advised from the show the 'Doctors' where this product was featured recently, that if you have recurrent bacterial vaginitis, that you should have that treated.
However, I know in my circle of female friends and family that the usual products for BV do not work or do not work long term. Some women have no infection but get reoccurred bouts of BV which causes them to feel embarrassed, ashamed and drastically affects their sex life. I personally would give this a shot if you have recurrent bouts of BV. I have read on some message boards that it is in fact working for that but you first want to make sure that that is what you have so that you do not ignore a STI/STD or other vaginal infection.
In any case, after a month of trying to get rid of this strange situation, after one use, IT IS GONE! So, whatever was going on- which even could have been an issue with old blood still inside from my pregnancy which was suggested by one nurse, it is finally over! I love this product. It is not a douche in the sense that it does not push liquid into your vagina/cervix. It sprouts out and down. Douching is bad because it pushes bad bacteria further into the vagina and can throw off your balance even more. For the last 30-35 days I have been trying to get rid of this and nothing worked. I was cleared of any infections, etc. It literally was because of my recent pregnancy and there does not seem to be a lot of information on this. So now, I have decided I will use this product after my cycle and after sex and continue to clean with my peroxide/water mixture in place of soap. If you do have BV, or a stronger odor than what I am describing, I would suggest initially using it daily for at least two weeks. Even women with stronger odors are saying that they have seen drastic changes from first use-3 uses which is pretty impressive!
I did A LOT of research on this product before purchasing it and real life accounts is what finally sold me, from various message boards. It uses your own tap water- which is almost free of charge and it does not hurt or disrupt your balance. You can feel confident with your partner during intimacy, you can feel great after intercourse by being able to rinse away any body fluids and lubricants from yourself which are also known to cause odor if not removed and you can use after your menstrual cycle and pregnancy to help ensure that any bad bacteria/old blood is out of there, preventing odor. I hope someone finds this review helpful. It is worth the price for peace of mind and if you think about it, if you are buying other products that do not work or wear off after a few days, if you look at your spending for these products: douches, so-called odor preventing washes and gels, you could have went on and bought this and been done with it! I prefer the natural methods- they are far more effective and not as harmful. (water, peroxide, yogurt and this!)
