I will be the first person to fully support being as extra as humanly possible. I will always be the girl who is slightly overdressed and not at all shy about it, or the person who will go all out for a shoot. I was the girl that went to high school wearing high heels when all my friends were coming to class in Birkenstocks. I am extra and I am not ashamed to say it! I love being over the top sometimes and there is nothing wrong with that. It is awesome that in today’s culture, people are fully and unabashedly embracing their extra-ness and it is always so fun to see people living their best life that way.

However, being extra shouldn’t extend to every area of your life. There are some areas of life, however, that do not lend themselves to being extra. One thing I have learned over time is that extra is not always more when it comes to self care and your feminine hygiene products. In today’s world, sometimes there’s just too much extra! When it comes to tampons, you want it to work with the things that are most important – comfort, protection, and none of the “extra” bells and whistles. Here are some things to think about when making those important feminine hygiene decisions every month:

Your Skin Is the Largest Organ in Your Body

I know, it is kind of crazy to think of skin as an organ, but it is, and it’s massive, and it is super absorbent. Your skin will soak up everything that you put on it. This is why knowing what is in your skincare products is super important. But if you think about it, the ingredients in your tampons are important for the same reason. Many tampons actually contain a lot of harmful chemicals that are horrible for you. With Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons, the comfort shape applicator is free from colors, dyes and BPA. I mean, who wants to put BPA into their bodies?! I don’t even want that in my water bottles, much less inside me…yikes! Playtex® rigorously evaluates every ingredient they put into their products so they can provide you with reliable protection that you can trust to be gentle and safe for your body, when used as instructed!

Comfort and Confidence is Key

Nothing is worse than not feeling comfortable, especially when it is that time of the month and you’re already hella uncomfortable, am I right or am I right? When you’ve got crazy cramps and mad PMS the last thing you need is your tampons to be uncomfortable and unreliable. The great thing about Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons is that they have 360° Protection™ that shapes to your body for a protective barrier against leaks. Comfortable and at ease…that’s exactly how I would like to be during my period.

Sometimes Less Is More

You don’t always need to be doing the most and honestly, tampons fall in that category. All the added bells and whistles on some brands could involve harmful chemicals that you should be keeping far from your body, plus, why pay more for something when you can have a much simpler product that gets the job done? At the end of the day, you just need your tampons to work, not make you hate life, and not harm your body by adding unwanted chemicals. With Simply Gentle Glide you can have the best of both worlds – it’s simple and a great value! As I have become more conscious about the ingredients in beauty and hygiene products, I’m trying more and more to incorporate products that are less harmful to me. I want to feel good about the products I choose. Purified fibers are washed up to five times and weaved together to form an absorbent core.That’s why I use Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™. You can find Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™ Tampons at any of the following retailers: Walmart, Kroger, Target, Walgreens, Safeway, or Meijer.
