Tampon preferences

So I'm new to the whole tampon thing I never used then until after I had my son, my mother had me scared to death of them. I have tried 2 different brands 1 being Platex sport which is the 360 design and then the Walmart brand that's comparable to the tampax pearl and let me tell you I never thought thered really be a difference in those 2 things but the platex I forget it's even there. The tampax version it literally feels like a dry cotton ball shoved up there and I noticed after taking a new one out and looking at how it's designed they are truly a crappy design so it got me wondering does anyone actually like those? Do they hurt you or feel uncomfortable like they did for me? I'm genuinely curious because I practically have a whole box of unused tampax ones because they suck!

U by kotex, super easy to insert and not to big. I have a lighter flow, so some other brands are just too wide.

I used to use tampax the compact ones. Then I switched to organic ones from target. Same price, better quality, less cramps. I don’t remember what they’re called but it was a clear plastic circle box with a copper resealable lid. I loved those until I switched to cups

I use the tampax pure. Same as the pearl just without the harsh chemicals. Had to switch after years of using the pearl because I’m super sensitive and was getting infections from the chemicals. I love the pure ones though.

I hate Tampax. The way it expands is extremely uncomfortable for me. I definitely only use playtex sport.
