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.
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.
I don’t know if those things have size… length? Girth? Both?
They are different sizes but they are rated by how much they can absorb, L is light flow, R regular

I’m guessing they learn this very early. It’s only confusing to those of us without the need for them.
At least they are not marked as inflammable.
It’s a blob of cotton and plastic. It burns pretty well even before you soak it in whiskey.
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.
what’s the S someone implied existed elsewhere in the thread?
The S stands for “shit” and it gets stuck somewhere else…
Super

Depends on the brand but mostly difference in girth aka material to soak up things.
