Veeda 100% Natural Cotton Tampons - Lite Absorbency with leak proof protection - Compact BPA-Free Applicator - Unscented & Free from Chlorine, Toxin - 16 Count

I'm absolutely in love with these tampons! They're incredibly comfortable – I barely even notice I'm wearing them. The organic cotton is clearly a game-changer; they're so soft and gentle that I don't experience any irritation or discomfort.These are the ONLY tampons I use now. I've tried other brands, and nothing compares. The comfort level is unmatched. If you're looking for a comfortable and reliable tampon, I highly recommend giving these a try.

I love that these are all natural! I no longer have the pain, burning and irritation like I did with the big box brands. I am allergic to a chemical substance they use on the string to help stop leaking. These tampons are a little shorter and that makes for a much better fit. Don't even feel them that's how comfortable they are. I have a pretty lite flow so these work great for me. Was able to wear them 6 hours during the day and 8 hours overnight without any leaking. As for the difficulty with the applicators. They are a little tricky but once I figured it out I have had no more problems. They take a little more push to get them all the way out and because they are shorter you have to hold them just so inorder to not pinch the string and cause them to stay in the applicator. Overall, very happy! Will be ordering more!

I didn't have any issues getting the applicators to work like many reviews say but I did struggle to get them all the way out. It didn't happen every time but pretty often the applicator would get to the end but the tampon wouldn't be released yet and I'd have to wiggle the applicator off and push the tampon in further.

I love these, I use lights a long and they are becoming increasingly harder to find, which is why I started buying them online - because the stores in my area arent carrying lights anymore :( Ive been wanting to switch to organic tampons but they have been so expensive. These ones however are not, they are very affordable and much better for my body. My only complaint is that that when you insert it, the final "click" you usually feel when the tampon itself has completely been inserted and removed from the applicator, that "click" doesn't happen and it can sometimes take 2 hands to get it to separate from the applicator...

To use this comfortably, you need to appreciate that before use you need to pull the plunger back, so that the plunger touches the very end of the tampon, where the string comes out. No part of the tampon itself should be inside the plunger at the time of use (when you open the package, half of the tampon is inside the plunger). Then once in the body, push the plunger all the way until the ring at the end of the plunger touches the ring at the end of the barrel, resulting in full ejection. Then remove them. This way the plastic pieces can't pinch.

I really, really wanted to like these tampons. I wanted a more natural tampon. And in our area, it's about impossible to find light tampons of any brand. So when I found these online, I was actually super excited to get and use them. I was excited to find a more natural tampon that had the light version. I ordered them and ended up with 3 boxes. And should have saved my money. The applicator on these tampons, plastic applicator actually and don't get me started on an all natural company using a plastic applicator, is absolutely AWFUL! I think I lost at least a half a box of tampons or more because they just would not come out of the applicator. I lost at least 6 if not more tampons from each box because of the applicator. These tampons just won't come out of the applicator no matter which way you turn them or which way you try to insert them. I had to go through 4 tampons in one sitting to find one that would actually release from the applicator and stay where it belonged. I had no issues with absorbency and they were relatively comfortable when I was wearing them as long as I could get them in correctly. However, I did only use the light in this brand so I can't speak to the higher absorbency varieties, but they worked well for light days when I needed them. But the dang applicator!!! It just ruined these tampons. The company seriously needs to rethink the applicators. I won't buy them again unless they completely redesign and change the applicators on these tampons. C'mon Veeda. Do better, make better! Be the change, Veeda, be the applicator change we need!

I use only natural cotton tampons and unfortunately it's hard to find "light" absorbency. Veeda seems to be one of the few that makes them. I need light absorbency because it's the only size that is comfortable for me. I wear the light at any point in my period, even if my flow is relatively heavy (I just have to change more often and back up with a pad). I have a gynecological condition that makes using anything thicker than the size of these tampons very uncomfortable. I like tampons though because of the freedom, but I found myself not using them (until finding Veeda light) because they were so uncomfortable. Now I can use tampons again.

I strongly prefer applicator free tampons both from an environmental standpoint (less waste) and because they're so small I can carry them around more easily. I use the Veeda applicator free regular and super tampons but it's really frustrating that they don't make the lite ones without applicators! Why should the smallest tampons be the bulkiest to cart around?!Also, these applicators are difficult to use and the tampon often gets stuck. I end up pulling the tampons out of the applicators anyway to use them (making them applicator free on my own, basically).
