I’ve had several tampons come in the applicator upside down - meaning the string it on top when inserted. Currently on my way to doctor to have one removed. Unbelievable. Do not buy.

Liners bunch up between legs. They need to be narrower in the middle. Adhesive isn’t great, they don’t stick well. Love the material. You and “always” brand should get together and make the perfect liner, your material and their contour and adhesive!

Terrible insertion process. I’ve never had problems inserting other tampons, yet these Cora tampons never release from the applicator. I really wanted to like these and keep buying different boxes in hopes that maybe I got a weird batch, but 60% of the tampons do not come out of the applicator. It’s incredibly frustrating.

I’ve never had a problem with the applicator…like most of the other reviewers have. I also love that there’s a knot in the tampon string for easy removal!

The worst tampons! The applicator is terrible, you can’t insert the tampon because it’s so tiny and doesn’t release so you have to take the tampon out and insert it yourself. I’ve never had a tampon that I felt as much as these, they’re so uncomfortable! And the cherry on top- no matter what you’ll bleed through your pants with these.

The plastic for the applicator is kinda thin so its more flimsy than other products applicators.

Tried the regular flow cora tampons while on vacation, literally need to throw 75% of them away because the applicator does not stop grabbing the tampon, it pulls the fresh tampon right out!!! 2 of us needed them and yes we pushed the whole applicator until it was 100% and clicked. Absolute waste of money. Why does the applicator have that X top on it??? Worst design. Will not buy ever again and neither of us want to try other products from the company due to this product being ineffective but still on the shelf. Back to good old tampax with the open ended applicator.

I generally like Cora tampons. They get the job done and I like that they're organic. However there is an issue I have noticed where at least 3-5 tampons per box (I usually buy the variety pack 48 count) don't work properly. When inserted, the plastic applicator doesn't fully "let go" of the actual cotton tampon that's supposed to stay inside. So, when I pull the applicator back out the tampon is still attached. Then I have the decision to try to not waste my money and reinsert a now slightly soiled tampon from the first unsuccessful insert, o. b style with no applicator, or toss it and start with a new one. I usually choose the latter which then annoys me because its just waste. I have not had this issue with a single other tampon brand and I've been using tampons for 30 years. I would like to keep using this brand of tampons but would love if your product team could reduce the ~5-10% of wasted product that's currently being purchased in each box.

Bought these first time and wont be doing it again. Got them for the clean aspect buy have had nothing but issued. Applicator is horrble and cuts you. I use a super plus and bleed out in 30 mins. I dont with any other brands super plus or super. At 10 bucks a box which i have to get 2 boxes i can buy one box of tampax and feel confident to leave my chair. I had high hopes for this brand but it leaks and applicator hurts too much to spend 20 bucks when i can spend 6 bucks. And yes im using them proper not a newbie and used many different brands too. Just a bad product.

I’ve been using Cora for a few months now and I LOVE them. I feel like when I was using other products my cramps would always get worse. Since i’ve switched I haven’t had any issues. I would’ve given the 5 stars but my only issue is the applicator, I always pinch myself or can’t get the product all the way out. I wish there was a small band at the base that could provide a better grip.

Holy moly these are by far the worst tampons I’ve ever used. The applicator doesn’t launch the tampon but it does pinch my sensitive folds during multiple parts of the inserting process. Did you all even test these on period having folk??? I appreciate that these are chemical free but I’d rather poison my insides than deal with trying to shove this floppy piece of cotton inside me. Look at this picture - it works better as a torture device than a tampon. The only time I’m going to use these is if I’m out in a public restroom and someone kicks me in the face then asks for a tampon.

I will preface this review by saying that the functionality of the tampon itself is excellent. Great absorbency, and I appreciate the natural, organic cotton. But the applicator is what guided my decision to rate this product three stars instead of five. The base of the applicator could be made so that the grip is better. Also, the applicator‘s inner tube is flimsy and poorly constructed.

i feel like these are pretty standard tampons. i love the packaging; it's very clean and simple, but cute. the actual tampons themselves are pretty comfortable and fairly easy to insert. my 1 complaint is the applicator. the plunger is a bit stiff and hard to fully push. compared to a tampax applicator, cora's is very clearly cheaper and not as good of quality. i do like that they're compact with the plunger you have to pull out until it clicks. they fit better in the little bag i carry in my purse. overall, would repurchase though!

Love these tampons, they are without a bunch of additives and have all the sizes i may need in a given month. I also appreciate the free sample of liners. Will continue to but from cora

Super helpful ordering in many sizes and quantities so I never without!

I used Tampax brand for the first 23 years of my cycles! In the last year, I switched over. I didn't know tampon didn't have to hurt! I am in love with this product. My only complaint is that it takes some extra oomph to fully collapse the applicator and release the tampon inside you. Otherwise, I find the applicator comfortable, the tampon comfortable to remove, and they are much more absorbent than Tampax. No more leaks! Even when you remove a semi-dry Cora tampon, the cotton does not rip on the way out.

Bought for my daughter and I. Would like to minimize her exposure to chemicals. Want to support their mission to provide affordable products to women. .

During the heavy portion of my period I’ve used the super plus tampons and sometimes near the end I have to take the tampon out because I’ve had it in to too long, but it’s not full. When I try and take it out the tampon comes apart leaving pieces inside of me. This has happened on three occasions now. The shape of the super plus is different than the super which seams to not come apart. Please investigate the shape of the super plus.

not only do the cora regulars get the job done and don’t leak, it feels good to know that there are no heavy metals going up there, lol.
