o.b. Regular Tampons

No applicator. Forty in the box.

The Regular carton is the original non-applicator tampon, sold in Canada as a 40 count. Fluid-Lock grooves are the leak feature, and the tampon expands all the way around. The tip is rounded so you can place it with a finger, which means no plastic or cardboard tube to throw out.

The Canadian page says the tampons are free from fragrance and elemental chlorine. Change them on a 4 to 8 hour clock, and pick the lightest absorbency that still holds.

Four absorbencies exist. This carton is Regular.

Essity copyrights the American brand site. The Regular page itself never names a factory.
