Playtex Sport Plastic Tampon Ultra Absorbency - 36ct

The applicator on these are not great. I have had so many come apart and had to waste and throw away because you can’t put them back together….

Terrible and not comfortable

Horrible! I got these from someone and they’re the worst I’ve used in a decade. They leak, the string is so thin with zero leak guard and they hardly even absorb compared to what I normally use.

The applicator on this is not very good. It’s bulky, it falls off easily and it’s a real pain to get it back on. Also, I don’t trust these while I’m playing tennis or overnight on the heavier flow days. I was trying these out in the place of Tampax ultra because of the “sport” aspect, but I’m going back.

I have been using Playtex tampons for 40 years now and my daughter for 7. What changed? They do not expand at all, and it is almost like they have a coating to not absorb at all. Things fit right around the tampon itself. We’ve tried the original, the sport and all sizes- even the hard to find Ultra. I thought it was my body changing until my 18 year old said all her pantries have been ruined now. Please - what happened? Buying Playtex above all others that I tried years ago was always a no brained. But now it’s costing me 4 x the price as we go through them rapidly, have to also wear a pad and regularly need to replace all the ruined underwear.

I usually use the O.B. Ultra tampons and I LOVE THEM. My target does not carry them in Ultra anymore. So I tried these. And somehow, they are massive but hardly absorb ANYTHING. It all sticks on the outside ??? And when you remove you can see how much is NOT absorbing. These are terrible, I threw the box away after only using a few. Will be ordering my go-to Ultras on Amazon.

These are the worst ultra tampons Ive ever used. They leak they’re very thin and they’re square edged not rounded. Absolutely horrible.

The Best unscented tampons I have found since Kotex is no longer

Used kotex until they stopped. Had a hard time finding right product but playtex is doing well. Except for ultra. I need heavy protection but i cant get these to glide. the tips of the supers are rounded. These are not much larger, but they are SQUARED. so dumb. No wonder they won't slide. What a disappointment for me. And using them often blocks flow rather than absorbing it. Causes discomfort. The super kotex worked better than these supposed ultras.

I bought these a couple months ago. I have extremely heavy bleeding for 1 day on my periods. Using these, is the first time I haven't had to wear a pad with my tampon. Thank you!

I first starting using this Sport brand when I was 16, playing softball year round and basketball seasonally. Playtex has always been my go-to since they are much more comfortable than other competitor brands and I was impressed with the grip as well as just how much liquid they held. More recently I learned that I have PCOS which makes my cycle timing unpredictable and much heavier, most of the time. I'm truly glad Ultra is available, I have so much trouble using other brands for this size that I get just plain infuriated and want to throw the whole thing away or just cry because it shouldn't be so difficult, but THE GRIP on these styles is my saving grace. I will not try another brand again, even if I have to buy these online only. I wish more stores near me had your full line of products. Thank you for having a quality product that has been tested, tried and remained my trustworthy protection all the way from Regular to Ultra.

I feel like the super plus have better coverage than the ultra. I’m leaking within an hour. I would not recommend!

The leakage is constant. They do not absorb like the Tampax Ultra for my very heavy flow. I wanted to get away from the Tampax brand, but will have to return.

Finally. For years, I've been saying they don't make tampons the way they used to. They used to last 6 hours. Nowadays, I can barely get 3 hours out if one. The Sport Ultra reminds me of the circa '99-02 tampons. I slept from 11:30-6:45 and it was full when I removed it. Also, I've always loved the Sport applicator tip - very easy to remove. They are thick and weighty. To the lady who complained about the floor incident, you do realize you should remove them while on the toilet, right?

I bought this, in thinking that it was going to be a bit different from the Sport Super + Tampon, but alas there isn't much difference in the Sport Ultra compared to the Playtex Simply Gentle Glide Ultra (which I have tried before with very much success). I'll stick with my Simply Gentle Glide Super + & the Simply Gentle Glide Ultra versions from now on.

Horrible feels cheap Do not recommend

I seriously thought I couldn’t wear tampons after kids and was so bummed, but these were a lifesaver! Recommended by my pelvic floor physical therapist. After my two kids, this is the only tampon I can use to absorb my heavy periods that I never had before. It holds well whereas other tampons would leak around the edges even if they weren’t totally full throughout.

I have a massive mess during my first few days of my cycle, this helps me. It didnt have any leaks and slightly uncomfortable. Nevertheless when I have to take it out it was huge mess on the floor and panties.

For reasons that mystify me, ultra absorbency tampons can be hard to find in stores, and when you can find them online, they often come with exorbitant prices. So glad to have these at Target at long last. I was a little concerned that these were the sport variety (the sport are usually different from the regular ones), but the ultra sport and the ultra regular appear to be identical. These don’t come with that weird applicator, and the absorbency is exactly the same. My flow is very heavy obviously, which is why I buy these, and I was so happy to find them here. I have tried other brands’ ultras, and they’re not the same. These are the only ones that hold up and don’t need to be changed every two hours. (I actually wish there were an absorbency one level above this, but the Playtex are the best I’ve found anywhere.)

The brand of tampons that I’d been using for over 30 years are no longer being produced so I had to find a new brand. I needed an ultra size so I narrowed it down between these and the Tampax pearl ultras. These one in almost every category. It fit closer to the other brand and was longer so it lasted longer for me. It had a knot in the string, which I was used to. It also just fit right and I forgot it was in. The only thing that the Pearl was better with was the applicator. They really need to make it attached so it doesn’t fall apart when you are putting it in. Other than that, perfection.
