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.

    Those are the only tampons that my daughters use and they say they are the best. Thanks for reconfirming that when I do the shopping I won’t pick up other brands.

  • It’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.

    Period time can be one of the worst time but so glad you have found a product that makes it much more comfortable for you.

    My periods have changed drastically since I gave birth so I definitely need tampons that are high quality and from a brand I trust. I like that Playtex’s Gentle Glide Tampons are free from colors, dyes and BPA.

  • Ana De- Jesus

    It is great to hear that the gentle slide tampons are more comfortable, do you know if Playtex is cruelty free by any chance? I love that they are free from colours and dyes as well.

  • Roch

    I tried using tampons about three times and I’ve watched several videos on how to put it on. But still I find it hard. Anyway, it’s nice that you found a really comfortable shaped tampon.

  • Allison Cooper

    That sounds really nice. It’s good to see more feminine hygiene products for women because I feel like we need more options to make sure we find the one that makes us feel comfortable.

    Having food products on hand makes this time of the month more bearable. Nothing like running out of pads or tampons…yikes!

    Thankfully I don’t have to worry about periods anymore but when I did have them, all I bought was Playtex. They just worked better than other brands.

  • Rachel

    This is the brand I prefer. They are much more comfortable. I can’t imagine them getting even more comfortable.

    I’ve started wearing tampons more as I don’t like the feeling of pads and it’s so much more comfortable x

    Sometimes I keel over in pain from that time of the month. I end up taking up pain killers back to back.

    I’ll have to check their products! You’re right … this time is truly irritating, and it’s not so easy to find the right products which will really satisfy you. Thank you for sharing this! 🙂

    I must admit that tampons scare me a little, lol. I generally use pads. These sound like a good option though x

  • chubskulit rose

    I 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

    These 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.

  • Emma

    They sound great! I’ll look for them next time I’m shopping.

  • Lynne Harper

    I hate that time of the month. But if there are things out there that make us more comfortable and things easier im all for it 🙂

  • I work really hard to make that time of the month as smooth as possible. It happens every single month so we shouldn’t be uncomfortable through it.

  • Kristi Ann
    June 26, 2018

    I’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!

    I 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, 2018

    Playtex 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

    I’m glad they are being more mindful of their products, how they are made and what types of ingredients go into them!

    I 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, 2018

    My 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, 2018

    AF 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, 2018

    I 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, 2018

    Now 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, 2018

    I love that these don’t have dyes or chemicals. I’m pretty sensitive in that area so having the purest ingredients is key!

    This is interesting. We all need to be able to rely on both good protection and comfort and to feel confident during our periods so this sounds like a great product!

  • We don’t have that brand over here, but it sounds very simple and easy to use. What a great product!

    Monthly 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.

  • Becca Talbot
    July 1, 2018

    I 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

    They do sound very good and offering of the right sort of protection, but I have to say I still don’t really like tampons.
