How I Simplify My Time of the Month
Let us get real for a second, periods are normal, but they’re irritating. We have to deal with discomfort, and sometimes even menstrual cramps every month. It is exhausting, and to some, it’s frustrating. Having a period, especially to moms like me, can also equal to too much hassle – imagine having to take care of your little one while in pain. Ouch!
Luckily, there are things that we can do nowadays to ease the pain, and products we can use to make us feel comfortable. For me, it’s Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons which makes my period easier to handle. Playtex is one of the most trusted brands when it comes to quality tampons. In a world full of EXTRA, when it comes to that time of the month, we all could use a product that can truly deliver what is MOST essential – comfort, protection, and none of the “extra” hassle.
Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons are free of colors, dyes and BPA. They also have purified fibers that are washed up to 5 times and weaved together to form a super absorbent core.
Before discovering Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons, I used to wear a super thin version of pads. I am not comfortable with the thick ones. The thin ones tend to leak or twist around, especially during fast-paced activities. I just couldn’t seem to win.
Here’s the thing, as a woman busy juggling life, I have to make sure I can rely on the products I use. While there are times I can simply wing it, when it comes to my period, everything has to be on point! Which is why I choose Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™. Because they’re made with quality materials, you don’t have to worry about leaks. I love that I can genuinely feel good about this product –especially down there.
Why you should choose Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons
• Every material used in Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ is carefully evaluated to provide reliable protection that we can trust while guaranteeing it is gentle and safe for our body.**
• **When used as instructed.
• Choosing tampons can be hard, but it is imperative to consider their effect on our body. With Playtex®, your safety is highly valued.
• Having stains in public without you knowing it is embarrassing. Fortunately, Playtex® Gentle Simply Glide™ has advanced 360º Protection that shapes to your body for a protective barrier against leaks.
• They have purified fibers that are meticulously washed up to 5 times and weaved together to form a super comfy and absorbent core. Because why not? You deserve the best!
• The comfort shape applicator is free from colors, dyes and BPA.
Another major thing to highlight is its availability. It is conveniently available at our local Walmart store. I can quickly take care of my groceries and also purchase Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ all at once! It is definitely a time saver. Believe me, every minute counts for this busy mama.
Oh and let’s not forget, with Simply Gentle Glide™ you can literally have the best of both worlds! The protection and care that you need at an affordable price. Now I can guarantee that I am fully covered and even managed to save a few bucks for much more important things. So make sure to check out the feminine aisle on your next Walmart trip. They are also available at Walmart.com in case you need to order online. You can save on your own box of Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons by clicking here.

June 25, 2018It’s really great to see big name brand companies coming out with feminine hygiene products that are free and clear. I’ve been buying an organic brand lately, just because they are free of dyes, perfumes, and harmful chemicals.

Rebecca | AAUBlog
June 26, 2018I must admit that tampons scare me a little, lol. I generally use pads. These sound like a good option though x
chubskulit rose
June 26, 2018I have never used tampons in my life but I heard it’s a really alternative to using the regular sanitary napkins. Speaking of which I just got done so I am no longer cranky ha ha
Becca Wilson
June 26, 2018These look like they would be great for this time of the month. I also have had a hard time finding the right pad or tampon.

Kristi Ann
June 26, 2018I’ll try anything to make that time of the month just a little better! I’ve heard tampons without dyes are the way to go!
Jessica Joachim
June 26, 2018I haven’t had my period since before I got pregnant with my son, and he will be 2 in September! I keep waiting for the day that it will happen though, and I think I will pick some of these up for that day because you know it will come out of nowhere and I don’t want to be caught out with nothing to absorb the problem.
Jessica Taylor
June 26, 2018Playtex is one of the only brands I will use! I love them! I haven’t tried this specific kind, but I am sure they are great!
Anne Marie
June 26, 2018I’m glad they are being more mindful of their products, how they are made and what types of ingredients go into them!
Reese Woods
June 26, 2018I am not a big tampon fan, to be honest. I’m with you on not feeling comfortable with the really large ones! Fortunately, right now I really don’t have regular periods with the birth control I’m on currently. But I will have to keep these in mind for the future when I have my arm implant removed!
Princess Quinn
June 26, 2018My best friend and I have been talking about using tampons lately. Because, honestly, we have tried it. But a common friend suggested likewise. And upon reading this blog, I thought to myself, I will make more research and see how better this is than using pads. Recently, I got rashes from my previous period. It gets so itchy and uncomfortable, I even used cloth pads to lessen the discomfort.
Farrah Less
June 26, 2018AF is not my friend I feel tired and moody at times. During this time of the month I take it as my time to slow down and relax.
Sherry
June 26, 2018I like that these are free of color, dye and BPA. I wish I could use them. I can only use pads. I watched the video and it was so funny.
Ruth I.
June 26, 2018Now I am considering to use this instead of pads. I honestly haven’t tried tampons before because I have this idea that it is scary to use. lol!
Ann F. Snook-Moreau
June 26, 2018I love that these don’t have dyes or chemicals. I’m pretty sensitive in that area so having the purest ingredients is key!

ANOSA MALANGA
June 27, 2018Monthly period is indeed one of the not so nice part of womanhood. I easily get irritated to in terms of napkins. I have never used tampons yet and I guess, I might consider this one moving forward.

June 27, 2018I love that technology has improved so much during the past few years. Now my girls are entering teenagedom they have nothing to fear. Bulky towels are definitely a thing of the past!

ohmummymia
June 28, 2018I’ve never heard about that brand before but I can’t imagine ‘those days’ without tampons
Becca Talbot
July 1, 2018I can’t say I’ve tried Playtex tampons, as they don’t sell them in the UK (as far as I’m aware). However I am a big advocate of tampons, and usually always chose them over towels 🙂 they’re less bulky and usually more discreet x
Becca Wilson
July 2, 2018Anything to make this time of the month easier is great by me! Ever since I was a teenager, I have been plagued by my period.
fashionmommy
July 3, 2018They do sound very good and offering of the right sort of protection, but I have to say I still don’t really like tampons.
