Tampax Pocket Pearl is a new pocket-sized option of Tampax Pearl that offers girls discretion and protection at the same time. It is the latest innovation from Procter & Gamble, the maker of Tampax tampons.

According to a recent survey of tampon users, 95% of girls agree that their period should never prevent them from experiencing life – and Tampax agrees1. The product is the latest addition to a full line of tampon options designed to meet girls’ different and changing feminine care needs to help ensure their periods never keep girls from participating in and enjoying amazing experiences.

“One in every two girls believes their period holds them back from certain activities. We know that any day can turn into an adventure for girls, and we want to make sure nothing stands in their way, especially their periods,” says Amanda Hill, Tampax Brand Director. “With help from a panel of teen girls, we designed Tampax Pocket Pearl to offer stylish, pocket-sized discretion with the same superior protection and comfort they know and trust from the full-size Tampax Pearl. Girls can now have power over their periods and feel ready for adventures that come their way any day of the month.”

Tampax Pocket Pearl tampons feature four wrapper designs that were co-created by teen girls and offer a stylish alternative in feminine hygiene options. They decided on new looks based on the latest pattern, color, graphic and runway trends. The new soft wrappers offer a perforated edge for easy opening with quiet and discreet technology. Importantly for girls on-the-go, Tampax Pocket Pearl fits into the palms of their hands and takes up little room in even their smallest handbags for convenience and discretion.

Tampax Pocket Pearl offers the same protection as the full-size Tampax Pearl tampon, but has a compact applicator, so worrying about leaks will be a thing of the past. It is the only compact tampon with the unique Built-In Backup Braid designed to send fluid back into the core, providing protection in a way some tampons don’t. This extra layer of protection helps capture leaks that would normally bypass other tampons, keeping fluid locked into the core. New Tampax Pocket Pearl also features FormFit technology to better eliminate the gaps that cause leaks and give girls an extra layer of protection so they can stay clean, dry, confident and ready for any adventure.
