Applicator Tampons (1 Pack of 16 Heavy Flow Tampons)

Do you find tampons tricky to put in, or worry about getting the depth right? You are not alone. Many women in India feel unsure the first few times they try a tampon. It is very common to wonder how far it should go and whether it will hurt. A tampon applicator makes this simpler, because it guides the tampon into place for you.

Sirona Applicator Tampons come with a smooth plastic tube that holds the tampon. You place the tip at the opening, push the inner tube, and the tampon slides into place. Sirona says each tampon has a 100% organic cotton core, curved grooves for more absorption and up to 8 hours of protection. The page says the applicator is BPA-free and the tampons are dermatologically tested.

One pack has 16 heavy flow tampons and costs Rs 449, which is Rs 28.06 per tampon. Each tampon comes with its own applicator. Change it every 4 to 6 hours, and never leave it in for more than 8 hours. These are made for heavy days, so they may feel too much on light days.

Why Choose This Product

These are the main features listed on the product page, in simple words.

• Hassle-free insertion: The applicator guides the tampon in, so there is no guessing how deep it should go.

• One applicator per tampon: The page says every tampon in the pack has its own applicator.

• BPA-free plastic applicator: A smooth plastic tube with a rounded tip for easier insertion.

• High absorbency for heavy flow: Sirona says curved grooves help the tampon absorb more.

• 100% organic cotton core: The page describes the tampons as ultra-soft and made with natural, absorbent fibre.

• Dermatologically tested: The page states the tampons are safe for intimate skin and dermatologically tested.

How to Use It

1. Pull the inner tube out. Hold the applicator with your thumb and middle finger. The tampon sits inside the outer tube.

2. Place the tip at your vaginal opening. Keep holding the applicator steady.

3. Push the inner tube in. With your index finger, push the inner tube all the way into the outer tube. This moves the tampon into place.

4. Remove the applicator. Gently pull the applicator out. The string stays outside. Put the applicator in the bin.

5. Remove the tampon within 4 to 6 hours. With clean hands, pull the string down at a slight angle. Wrap the tampon in a Sirona Disposal Bag. Never flush it.

Tip: if insertion feels dry, the page suggests a little water-based lubricant on the tip. If you can still feel the tampon after it is in, it may need to go a little further.

More About These Applicator Tampons

Why Tampons Can Feel Hard to Insert

The first try is often the hardest. Many people tense up, which makes insertion harder. Some are unsure of the angle or how far to push. A non-applicator tampon needs your finger to do all the work. An applicator does most of it for you. That is why the page says applicator tampons are ideal for beginners.

What a Tampon Applicator Is

A tampon applicator is a plastic tube that holds the tampon. It has two parts: an outer tube with the tampon inside, and a thinner inner tube that works like a plunger. When you push the plunger, the tampon moves out of the tube and into place. Then you take the tube out and throw it away. Only the tampon and its string stay in.

How to Put In a Tampon With Applicator

The steps are simple once you have done it once or twice. Find a position that feels comfortable and try to relax, because tense muscles make insertion harder. Place the round tip at the opening, hold the applicator steady, and push the inner tube all the way into the outer tube. Then gently remove the applicator. The page says it might take a few tries to get it right, and that once a tampon is in far enough, you should not feel it.

Applicator vs Non-Applicator Tampons

The page explains the difference simply. Applicator tampons come with a plastic tube for insertion. Non-applicator tampons, also called digital tampons, do not. A tampon with applicator is often easier for beginners. A non-applicator tampon is smaller to carry and has less packaging. Once inside, both do the same job.

Heavy Flow Absorbency Explained

Tampons are sized by how much they can absorb. Sirona's page FAQ gives its own size guide: Regular Flow 9 to 12 grams, Heavy Flow 12 to 15 grams and Super Plus Heavy Flow 15 to 18 grams. This pack is labelled heavy flow. The URL mentions super plus, so check the box for the exact absorbency.

Choosing the Right Absorbency

A good habit is to choose the lowest absorbency that handles your flow. If a tampon is soaked in less than 4 hours, you may need a higher one. If it feels dry or is hard to remove after 6 hours, try a lower one. Many people use a heavy tampon on day one or two, then switch to a regular one.

How Long You Can Wear It

The page FAQ says to change your tampon every 4 to 6 hours, based on your flow, and to strictly never leave it in for more than 8 hours. On heavy days, you may need to change closer to 4 hours. Keep a few spares and disposal bags in your bag.

Sleeping, Swimming and Sport

The page says you can sleep with a tampon in. Put a fresh one in just before bed and remove it as soon as you wake up, so it stays within 8 hours. Because a tampon sits inside, you can swim, dance or play sport with it. The page also says you can pee with a tampon in.

Benefits of Tampons

The page lists a few reasons people choose tampons over pads. A tampon absorbs flow inside the body, so there is no damp layer against your skin and less chance of rashes. You cannot see it under clothes, and it does not shift when you move. That makes it useful for swimming, travel, long workdays and Indian summers.

Comfort and Safety

When a tampon is in the right place, you should not feel it. The page says it should not hurt, though it can feel uncomfortable if you are dry or your flow is light. Read the leaflet in the pack before first use. The page explains that Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but serious illness linked to leaving tampons in too long. The signs it lists include sudden fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, fainting or a rash. If you notice any of these, remove the tampon and see a doctor straight away.

Disposal: Tampon and Applicator

Never flush a tampon or an applicator. The page says tampons absorb liquid and expand, so they can block toilets and pipes. Put the plastic applicator in the bin. Wrap the used tampon in a Sirona Disposal Bag before you throw it away.

Heavy, Super+, Regular or Mixed: Which Sirona Tampon to Choose

This pack is Sirona's applicator option for heavy flow. If you are comfortable inserting with your finger, Regular Flow Tampons are a non-applicator choice for normal days. Heavy Flow Tampons and Super+ Heavy Flow Tampons cover heavier days. Mixed Flow Tampons give you different absorbencies in one pack. Choose this one if you want an applicator and need heavy flow protection.

Who These Tampons Are Best For

They suit first-time tampon users who want help with insertion, and anyone with a heavy flow who likes the ease of an applicator. They are a good fit for swimmers, dancers, travellers and people with long days away from a washroom.
