      There are different sizes but they are rated by how much they can absorb, L is light flow, R regular. So it’s not really about the size, they’ll expand anyways when they soak up the discharge

        I dont buy tampons except as a secondary backup now that I use a cup, but I’ve never seen this. I just look at the 1-5 little drops of blue liquid…

        And cups DO come in different (extremely inconsistent) sizes.

        Confusing that L could be interpreted as Large size and Light flow. Surely you would know what is meant by looking at the packaging (or maybe feeling this particular one). I hope for the person in need of it that they won’t have to guess in a case like this.

            It’s a blob of cotton and plastic. It burns pretty well even before you soak it in whiskey.

      If you felt them, you’d realize the Super one does have more girth than the Light one, in order to absorb more before it starts leaking. I don’t know why it never occurred to me the use the same/opposite letters as Small /Large, probably because I first learned them back when companies wrote whole words on their packaging.
