Always & Tampax Always Radiant Collection Review

Yes... I know talking about that time of the month is never fun, but it's natural. So ladies, let's be bold! Let's talk about pads, tampons, and the ever so mysterious "p" word.

Anyway, I'm getting off my soapbox now. Thanks to Influenster, this month that time was made a little easier. As you can see above in my box I received the "Always Radiant Collection".

My box came about two days after my last day of my cycle last month, so I had to wait to comment about the products until now.

First up, we have the new Always Radiant Infinity pad. If you are as familiar with the infinity line of products as I am, I'm sure you know they are amazing. I've never tried it, but I'm sure one of those little babies could absorb a whole bottle of water if you poured it slowly over it. Lol, now I'm gonna have to try that. Anyway, the main difference with this one is there is a light floral scent added (instead of it smelling like cotton... or something). As described by Always it's to "keep women feeling fresh". Sadly, this scent is what will keep me from purchasing this. I have enough products that have a fragrance on me daily, so by the end of using it my head was aching from scent overload. I'll take my Infinity-s unscented please!

Admittedly, I don't use liners often so that one is still sitting in the bathroom unused.

Also inside the adorable wristlet were 2 Tampax Radiant tampons. I have a crazy fear of TSS so I probably go through more of these than I should in a 4-5 day period. A friend in high school got it, so I'm crazy OCD about counting hours and such, lol. I've honestly wanted to try these out, but still have some of the Tampax pearls left so I couldn't justify buying them. The differences between Pearl and Radiant are minimal at best, but I definitely like Radiant better. When I was younger, I always felt the need to hide that I had my period. What ALWAYS gave it away was the sound the wrapper made when you opened a tampon/pad. Tampax has redesigned the packaging so there is little to no sound, and it's resealable so you can place the applicator back inside after it's used. The applicator itself is a tad different as well. It's slightly longer which makes gripping it much easier.

Hands down, Always and Tampax has the . market cornered. Kotex has nothing on you guys!!! I'm glad I got to try these out.
