The 'best' brand is down to personal preference.
Rayon tampons such as Tampax, Playtex, and Kotex are best avoided - rayon tampons pose significantly higher risk of Toxic shock syndrome, vaginal irritation, allergic reaction, vaginal infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis, and they contain harmful substances such as dioxin.
Cotton tampons are a better option, brands such as Emerita, Cottons, Natracare, Maxim, Veeda, and Seventh Generation - Toxic Shock Syndrome has never been associated with this type of tampon, they are hypoallergenic, softer, and they don't contain harmful substances such as dioxin.
You may also prefer sponge tampons or soft tampons which are squishy and moistened before use so many women find these options more comfortable than conventional tampons.

∙ 7y agoThe best brand of tampon is down to personal preference.
From a health stand-point rayon brands like Playtex, Kotex, and Tampax are best avoided as they pose higher risk of TSS, irritation, and may contain harmful ingredients. It is best to opt for cotton tampons which are safer and hypoallergenic, brands like Cottons, Natracare, Maxim, and Moxie.
Remember to always use lowest absorbency for your flow, also remember applicators are purely about limiting contact with the genitals but non-applicator are easier to use and mean less waste too.
