I don't like pads. I like tampons. But, not the typical Tampax that
everyone uses-those things leak terribly. OB Tampons are WAY better.
O.K. so they don't have an applicator, but they expand width wide -
instead of lengthwise like Tampax - and therefore prevent leaking. I've
never had a leak with them.
