In 2009 the Ocean Conservancy collected over 13,000 tampon applicators** along the US coastline. Since plastic applicators have a lifespan of anywhere between 500 and 1,000 years***, that trash won't be going away anytime soon.o.b. tampons are free of elemental chlorine and use minimal packaging with 90 percent of the raw materials from renewable resources.A Tampon Ahead of Its Timeo.b. tampons were designed in 1950 by Dr. Judith Esser, an avid swimmer who refused to be slowed down by her period. She was dissatisfied with the options of her day and wanted more protection and less of everything else. So Dr. Esser designed something innovative that became timeless: the o.b. tampon.What's in the Boxo.b.

Absolute Necessity
This absorbency level used to be super plus before OB marketing people up graded every level by 1 (regular became super, super became super plus, etc). This is THE only tampon that can stand up to the one or two heavy flow days a month. Without them I would have to choose between taking a sick day every month and camping out in the ladies room during the heaviest part of the day. Neither option is career enhancing. The only caveat is to use them appropriately only on heavy days and not as a substitute for an all day pad. The last thing we need is someone developing Toxic Shock Syndrome from not practicing intelligent hygiene and then blaming the product. They are very hard to find in drug stores. I haven't been able to find them in any of the local drug store chains in a long time. Thank you Amazon!

best yet!
OB ultra is, in my opinion, the best I have found on the market. I find it very frustrating that in a city as big as Chicago I have to go online to order these because they are either sold out or not carried by many stores. If women who have heavy cycles would try these, I believe they would choose them over the super plus. OB is easy to carry in your purse and although I prefer the ultra, in any size the quality is better than all the others I have tried...and I have tried everything I can find that comes in super and above.

fortunately, for Amazon
A MUCH NEEDED product that, fortunately, for Amazon, isn't available in my area.At first, I went to Jet.com, and although, at first, the site seemed to have this product available, upon further investigation, they had next to NO O.B. Tampons, let alone, the specific O.B. ULTRA Tampons I was looking for.It was a Uterine Christmas the day the package arrived with my abundance of O.B. ULTRA tampons from Amazon. You saved the day!!!

The only ones I will use!
Packaged for sanitary use, and very absorbent. Would use no other brand or style. Never have any leaks or problems. Very good price when purchased here online through amazon with the free shipping.

NO LEAKS. Period.
No leaks, period. What more can I say? Discrete to carry, another plus. The Ultra is hard to find in the stores. Order them from Amazon at a great price, and never run out.

Mama don't take my o.b. Ultra Absorbancy Tampons away!
I have suddenly stopped being able to find this in the stores. I actually called OB to find out if they stopped making it, and they claim they haven't. And yet, it's been on backorder for Amazon too. So I made an order and I'm waiting, waiting, waiting....Please hurry and get it back in stock! There are three women in this household who are getting desperate!
