But recently, the weaker sex is increasingly giving preference to tampons. And among many manufacturers, women have a preference for o. b. The reasons for this choice will be discussed in the article.
Peculiarities
Tampons o. b. manufacturer Johnson & Johnson have been known since the second half of the last century. They have a number of advantages over other hygiene products.

Interestingly, gynecologist Judith Esser, lawyer Heinz Mittag and engineer Karl Hahn began to work on such a hygiene product in the last century. For a long time, the question of how to make life easier for the weaker sex during critical days, how to get rid of the notorious gaskets, was being decided.
The shortest name is o. b. stands for "no spacers" in German. Now there is already a huge number of varieties of tampons in the company's line.Doctors, together with manufacturers, have developed a special technique for selecting tampons for each female.
This is very convenient, otherwise, due to the wrong selection of the product, a huge number of unwanted problems arise.
The program takes into account many aspects, including the following:
-
age or life stage;
-
time of use;
-
the intensity of the discharge;
-
some wishes;
-
the need for an applicator.
Let's give an example: a young girl has very abundant critical days, she just started using this type of product. This means that Original (Super Plus), Compact Applicator (Normal), or o may suit her. b. mini tampons. It is very convenient.
Manufacturers are constantly in the process of innovative development. They always keep their clients up to date. Any new information can always be found on the official website. All new items are there.
Varieties
It is necessary to start with the fact that o. b. can be used with any discharge - both scanty and abundant. A diverse line allows you to individually select a product based on the day of menstruation, physiological structure. Now you can even pick o. b. for teenage girls: to enter without damaging anything is the motto of the company. In addition, the size of the tampons is small.
The number of drops indicated on the package will help you navigate this issue. For example, 4 drops is a slightly above average discharge, or such a remedy is suitable for overnight administration, and 3, 2 drops will work on the first, third or fourth days, 6 drops for super-heavy periods, or night tampons. The line of products is so rich that you can find night products with an applicator, small tampons for scanty discharge, there are even options with wings. The shelf life of all funds is quite impressive.
Let's talk about individual types in more detail.
ProComfort
These funds are smaller in comparison with the classics, which means that they are not felt at all inside. They can be used throughout the entire menstrual cycle, and when filled, they will still not be noticeable.
Tampons with icon Super with a silky finish are used at night. This coating is the company's own development. Silk Touch is a coating that helps a woman inject the product without discomfort. They are designed for 8-10 hours of use. They have great absorbency, but cannot be used by virgins. Many tampons are made of compressed cotton wool, which can injure already sensitive mucous membranes. Sometimes manufacturers produce tampons with applicators, but this does not change the essence of the matter: hygiene products only increase in volume.
The company's manufacturers have been working on solving this issue for a long time: the innovative coating solves several problems at once - the tampon does not greatly increase in volume, has a smooth coating, and is ideal for sensitive mucous membranes. In this series there are products with a liquid absorption of 2 drops.
Normal recommended for use from the first to the third day of the cycle.
Mini used by virgins or women in the last days of menstruation, that is, with insignificant discharge.
Extra Defense
With individual heavy periods, it is better to use this particular line. Extra Defense has a special silky coating and small wings that protect against night and day intense secretions. Such protection is due to the opening of the wings inside and rebuilding according to the characteristics of each woman.
Original
They have specific grooves in the form of a spiral that prevent the flow of liquid. This is a version of the classic (standard length and diameter) without an applicator, which is suitable for adult ladies.
Attention! Not recommended for use by virgins due to the fact that when wet, the tampons absorb a lot of liquid, taking the shape of a barrel. It will be difficult for young girls to extract them later.
This product with a standard form will ideally protect you from leaks in the period from 1 to 3 days. And all because the developers release tampons in three degrees of absorption: 3 drops - the norm, 4 drops - super, 6 drops - a super plus.
As a side note, it should be said that the ruler o. b. presented depending on absorbency. If a woman, for some reason, could not figure out the nuances, typical mistakes arise - incomprehensible sensations, leaks, dryness, pain. And then there are general gynecological problems. Among them, the appearance of microcracks and wounds, infection, violation of the mucous membrane, a change in hormonal status.
Therefore, it is recommended to focus on the nature of the discharge, time of day, day of the cycle. Therefore, focusing on abundance, experts offer a series of:
-
o. b. super plus - for the night or in the early days;
-
super - for adult women;
-
normal - from 1 to 3 days;
-
mini - for virgins or in the last days, when the discharge is rather scarce.
Products with an applicator are used when it is difficult to carry out hygiene procedures. For example, when traveling in a vehicle. It is convenient to insert the applicator (3 and 4 drops) to the desired depth, but without contact of the fingers with the mucous membrane.
It doesn't take much for such an introduction. It is only necessary to treat the genitals with a damp cloth. Free the applicator from the box and insert the tampon there. It is most convenient to use the applicator while standing with a slightly raised leg.
It is recommended to act carefully, because after an unsuccessful attempt, you cannot re-enter the agent.
