Playtex® Sport® Tampons, Ultra Absorbency

Protection for Bodies in Motion

Playtex® Sport® Tampons are the #1 sport tampon. Our 360°® SPORT LEVEL PROTECTION® tampons provide a protective leakage barrier designed to fit your body and its every move. Whether it's game day or just hanging out, we've got you covered with long-lasting comfort, freshness, and all-around protection. The contoured applicator allows for comfortable, precise placement. FLEXFIT® technology with flexible interlocking fibers works to absorb quickly, plus a LEAK DEFENSE anti-leak backup layer provides extra protection against period leaks. These Ultra tampons are fragrance-free and can absorb a heavy flow. New to tampons? Playtex® Sport® is a great option for first-time tampon users, teens, and anyone with an active lifestyle. 

Easy to insert for first-time tampon users. Follow our comprehensive step by step instructions on how to insert a tampon. If you feel any discomfort, the tampon may not be far enough inside. You shouldn’t feel anything when the tampon is correctly in place. Absorbency needs can change throughout your cycle, and it’s okay to try different absorbencies. Remember to change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours.
