I have a hectic and crazy life that most mom’s can relate to, on a normal day I’m sure I’m flying out the door for at least about 4 times to run some type of errand. Something that I think all women can relate to is that Aunt Flow doesn’t slow down, stop or hold for any occasion. So I came up with a little way to keep up with her sometimes unannounced visit’s. I have what I call a Girl On-the-Go Bag. It is simply a bag full of my few necessities which range from anything such as makeup to a bracelet. The one thing I ALWAYS and FAITHFULLY restock in this Girl On-the-Go Bag is tampons, because when your on the go you need a product that will withstand your many physical activities.
How I Found These Pocket Sized Wonders: I tend to stick to a name brand once I find my perfect fit, my Aunt Flow is just as picky as me. Not just any product will do for her, she tends to look for products that will last (just like me). One of my go to spots for many of my needs is Target, I love their prices and the amazing deals they have on products I need. As my Aunt Flow’s monthly visit creeps towards it’s unforgettable arrival I ventured into Target to purchase my necessities. They weren’t hard to find at all and sat an inviting type of way on the shelf. As I scanned the shelf I as surprised to see something I had not encountered before. Tampax has a new line called Tampax Pocket Pearl.
Tampax Pocket Pearls give you full size protection but now it fits in your pocket! (Pocket Pearl is the Pearl tampon now pocket size). This tampon boast’s a smooth extendable applicator (something that cardboard lacks in my opinion), with a built in Backup™ Braid, with channels that leaks back into the core. Includes a beautifully stylish breakthrough wrapper with discreet, easy-open tab. This pocket size beauty is available in all the sizes you may need! From Regular to Super Plus
The thing I love about these pocket size tampons is that they are so easy to use and of course can be discreetly put into your back pocket or bag’s. I remember being in my teenage years and being so embarrassed about something I find normal now such as purchasing these products. I wouldn’t have been caught dead in a sanitary isle of any store because I felt as though everyone could see me. My mom had to actually ask me to just quickly point out what I would like and then meet me at the checkout lane. As an adult I look back on it and giggle every now and then as I place my Aunt Flow’s best friends on the checkout belt. I also remember dreading Aunt Flow’s call’s in high school, with me frantically trying to hide my tampon as I would try to make a run for it to the bathroom. If these were available when I was younger I think most of my worries would have solved.
This is almost a no brainer on how to open and assemble your Tampax Pocket Pearl. It’s as easy as 1,2,3 and 4! I’ve provided a sneak peak on what you can expect if you are looking to purchase these.Here is how to open and easily assemble this pocket sized tampon.
What this lady loves about her best friend is that they are super affordable and come in many different sizes. There is a size for any type of Aunt Flow’s visit. If you would like to find these Pocket Sized beauties you can find them in the Sanitary Isle in your local Target Store.

We use pearl exclusively in my house. The 1 time I bought something different I had to hear complaining for like 5 days lol.
Sharon Ulery Ruggieri says
Thank God for the pocket size. I always keep several with me too!

Having a girl on the go bag is a great idea. You never know when you will need it!

A friend of mine kept bugging me to try it out and I never really did – makes me want to try those.

I love your “girl-on-the-go” bag! Leopard is totally my thing. I have one too and I need to restock it ASAP with those baby pearls 😉

I love these. No more bringing my entire purse to the bathroom when I am visiting a friend or out to eat.
Ann Bacciaglia says
I love the packaging. It makes it so much easier to carry them around without a purse.
The Trophy WifeStyle says
Omg whoever designed the packaging nailed it! I’m a sucker for things that look pretty and who knew you could make a tanpon pretty lol
Nikki says
I love that they make products that don’t look like tampons if they spill out of your bag. Those are perfect for teen girls!
Michelle Varga (@dustbunniesblog) says
It’s great that they’re making products like this now that are so compact and easy to take with you wherever you go. I also really like their packaging design!
Rosey says
I like that they’re so small and easy to bring along. Discreet is good when it comes to some things, this def. qualifies. 🙂
Alli says
Now that’s a girl on the go bag! I like how compact the tampons are and easy to stash in a bag. Tampons have come a long way! The colors of the packaging are cool, too.

I like this new redesign and product option from Tampax…makes me want to explore it more. I also LOVE the blue plunger.

I love the tampon wrapper. That is so pretty, I also love the colors of the applicator. Making something not so fun a little bit more fun!

That is so great! I love that it’s compact for storage and full size when I need it. That is pure genius!

This is great! Most compact tampons are too whimpy. I love that this is a compact size the becomes a full size.

What a great idea for carrying those necessary items. I don’t have a on-the-go bag, but I think I might just do one right now. Thanks for sharing!

I love what you’ve got in your bag! Tampons have sure come a long way!!
Dogvills says
The things you have in your girl on the go bag are almost the same with mine, except for the tampons. I don’t know if I will be able to get used to this.
Jeannette says
I love that these are compact and then become full size! It looks like you have everything you need for a day on the go in your bag!
